Here's our take on the 1977 Fleetwood Mac classic, "The Chain," with a homage to the iconic work of '70s jazz legends like Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard and others.

One of the most daring interpretations PMJ have done and it is beautiful. Musically brilliant and Tawanda’s voice is pure heaven. Thank you to all involved.

It's pretty rare to have artists go this far out and still have it work. This works. PMJ is a rare and beautiful thing.

"Daring" why? Cuz shes black? If so, you're nuts. Just say the covers good. That is what postmodern is about. Quit being dumb and just let people do their thing.

100% agree. An aggregate of phenomenal artists who are musically and instrumentally sound. Gives me hope in this musical era in which we currently live. I was born in 62 so I know good music... And this is good music!!
wow.....what a voice. Invokes a smokey jazz club on a cold rainy night.

Oxford defines "Torch Song" as a sad or sentimental song, typically about unrequited love. Leave it to our time-traveling minstrels to recognize Stevie’s lyrics for what they really are. "If you don't love me now, you will never love me again" sounds unrequited to me, and with her beautiful, velvety voice, Tawanda takes us on a whole new journey. Smooth and smoky, this PMJ quintet has created a torchy masterpiece! May the chain never end. Thanks for this wonderful holiday gift!
Tawanda’s voice is absolutely amazing, hauntingly beautiful! and the flute is EVERYTHING❤ I want more of this style and more of Tawanda please! 😊

I don't think the arrangement could have worked without her. She is stunning.
Amazing: Not just a reinterpretation of an already-great song, but an entirely new creation.
I am South African and wasn't familiar with the singer. I know a Zimbabwean with the same name and was quite surprised when I found out that Tawanda's parents are Mozambican (a neighbour of both South Africa and Zimbabwe) and German. Excellent interpretation of this classic. I put on my good headphones to hear the bass, and I wasn't disappointed!
LOVE the blue notes, improvisation, and creative freedom…Well done, Tawanda and gentlemen! THIS one makes us ‘sit down and listen’! 👏 👍💖🎶
This song is very close to my heart. I never imagined it could be decorated in such ways, especially with a flute. I can't wait for your and Tawanda's next projects.
I honestly thought that Fleetwood Mac (especially this song) would be a difficult candidate for a PMJ makeover, i still think it is. BUT..... You guys nailed it.... as per usual... once again.
Just when I think I've heard the best of PMJ, this happens. Awesome.
Incredible!! I would never have imagined this song performed in a jazz arrangement would be so remarkable!!
That jazz flute was being wielded at Ron Burgundy levels!
I love pmj but on this occasion when the dude slid in for a bit of flute action over the gossamer vocals, I knew that this was indeed, my cup of tea.
PMJ has offered sublime renditions of jazz over the years. But this was the best yet, IMHO. Scott - thank you for this wonderful arrangement, with improve at the forefront. And please DO ask Tawanda back for more. Her talent is so striking and I feel moved by her rendition offered herein. The instumentalists play so masterfully and with true passion... We are caught up in the music by this tight, talented and stunning ensemble. They are so glorious and I am enthralled. My respect and affection for PMJ and their artists continues to grow in depth and breadth. Quite simply loved this and am begging for more, my dears.
What a groove! Love the flute.
This is definetly the best The Chain Cover I ever heard. Tawandaˋs Voice touches the Core of your Soul and Heart. The intriguing Beatchanges and the wonderful Flute wrap you in a sophisticated Shell of pure Bliss !! More of this.......Itˋs addictive.
i can imagine this in a spy flick, it has soo much sass and character just like the original 🫶

I want all period movies to have a Postmodern jukebox cover of an anachronistic song.
Damn...what an entrance by the flautist
the arrangement to the artists to the set and costumes... just immaculate!!! well done PMJ!
This is amazing - she’s incredible but whoever arranged this is a frickin genius!

Scott Bradlee arranged it, he's the pianist and band founder and basically arranges all the PMJ covers. And yeah, his arrangements rule. 🙂
Brilliant. Gotta say that flute put it over the top and scratched an itch I didnt know needed to be scratched! Loved it!
I love how jazz flute homey floats in like Sorry i was late!
this is so smoooothe oh my lord the jazz sound felt perfect to wake up to
The ONLY problem/issue with this cover version is that it's TOO short :)

This part. I need a deluxe version ❤
Tawanda's voice is something, but that flute takes everything somewhere else!
Jacob Scesney is genuinely one of my favorite musicians. He’s so good at playing so many instruments. And his tone on playing flute here is haunting in the best way. It gives chills! 😩👌🏼👌🏼
THE FLUTE MAN, WHAT A MAN HE IS
My favourite Fleetwood Mac's song (a hit from the best-seller Rumours, 1977). Amazing version, Tawanda and PMJ's company! 👏
The flute just adds so much to this song, well done everyone.
Always good to see Jacob Scesney (our family calls him Shenanigans for the cool background stuff he does) with such an awesome part. Surprising and excellent arrangement as always. Also the first time I've heard Tawanda, and I want more.
What a voice! This woman could sing anything. 👊🏻
God this song is already phenomenal; this cover just makes it better!!
I love absolutely everything about this! But I’ve got to give props to Brandon Combs on drums. Fantastic feel, technique and sound, truly masterful! Soooo damn tasty!!! Love it!!
OK. I'mma need more Tawanda. So, SO much more. Her voice is pure honey.
I loved this song Tawanda has the vibe and she has it all together, amazing performance.
The freedom of expression in jazz allows for endless possibilities and surprises.
분위기 장난아니다. 보컬 완급조절도 좋지만, 세션들도 같이 돋보인다. 다른 커버는 보컬 테크닉 즐기느라 세션은 약간 뒤로 두고 들었는데, 이번 커버는 진짜 보컬 뿐만 아니라 세션들 매력이 장난 아니다. 진짜 세션들 짱. 특히 드럼 진짜…… 홀릴 것 같다.
Wow. Just wow. Well worth it for the jazz flute.
More Fleetwood mac music please.

This one really was special.
When the flute came in... DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!
Flute makes everything so much better...
Didn't see this was a 70s jazz cover from the notification and my first thought was "how can this be a 70s cover when the song is a 70s song itself"
That was not what I expected but gosh darn it was so much better than what I expected. Great job everyone! Tawanda is a star ♥♥♥
By far my favorite vocal and arrangement version of this song!
PMJ is reliably good, but this cover is truer to it's designated style while simultaneously being a remarkable example of said style. Excellent piece!
WHEEEEEEEEEWWWW! HER VOICE IS BEYOND AMAZING AND PAIRED WITH THIS BAND!!!! AMAZING 🤎🎹🥁
Incredible arrangement of a timeless classic...and that voice and the flutist take a bow. Bravi.
Okay, she's already got me impressed, and the song is just starting.
I am obsessed with the drums in this!!!
This is actually fantastic
Having grown up with this song I was prepared to be disappointed.... I was not. 😊
Wow! I'm a huge fan of the original, but this certainly works and has a place in a jazz play list!
This is one of the best covers I've ever heard. You owned it, Tawanda! Hope to hear another 70's hit in this style!! You guys are just amazing!! Thank you!
They did so much to this song that its a completely different animal, amazing
A fantastic arrangement and right back at you Mr. Scesney
That build up was so smooth. I hope to see you guys live soon in Chicago

Please come to Brazil, we need this culture here!
This needed to be longer.
Her voice is like butter creamed with sugar. She's amazing!
Wow! What a different feel to this classic. Even more so than the live video of FM when they were at the 'hate' stage of their love/hate relationship. PMJ has some of the most interesting and diverse reinterpretations of music from groups you would never think could be jazz.
That guy on the double bass just seems to have some great fun.
They took one of my favourite Fleetwood Mac tracks and took it up another notch. Something I didn’t think was even possible. And I didn’t even miss my favourite part (British F1 fans from the 79s and 80s will know which part)😉
So smooth......
That jazzy vibe and Tawadas voice are mesmorizing! Keep it coming PMJ!❤💛
This was done so beautifully-- my absolute favorite rendition of this song 😍💕💕💕 great job❤
So smooth. And not just Jacob!
Awesome reharmonization, love it! 😍 This is one of the best PMJ songs ever!
That was unexpected and delightful.
I listen to the original all the time. I'm so happy that it got a pmj
I always felt like this song could be a very nice jazzy cover, it's one of my absolute favourite songs and you guys crushed it. Very enjoyable!
Fantastic vocals and artistry on the instruments.
PMJ is a learning experience. It makes me enjoy genres I never have enjoyed beforde
Tawanda 😍💯💣
Just saw the show in Asheville....phenomenal night and just a ton of talented musicians.....catch them if they are in your area...Great rendition of the Chain by Fleetwood Mac
What a beautiful woman Tawanda is, and such a fantastic voice. Great version of a classic.
Please keep making videos of your performances.
Pmj continuously raising the bar of refinement.
That was remarkably beautiful. What a sweetly soothing voice to jazz up this rendition of a classic song. Thank you for this!
Wow! Tawanda is amazing, and this arrangement is great. Also, does anybody else see some serious allusions to Bolling/Rampal Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano? The whole thing makes me so happy.
В вот и легендарный FleetwoodMac подъехал. Здорово!
I love the original... and this version is amazing! Another PMJ production knocked out of the park. Thanks for all of your skills, work and dedication!
It’s a totally different song like this, and I love it! ❤🎶
BEAUTIFUL
Everything is just perfect in every way.
This is fantastic, The Chain is an incredible song and you guys made it your own without losing an ounce of quality. And that flautist!! Wow.
Fantastic! Never stop making music Scott!
Haunting... I love this rendition. I would never have thought of this arrangement, but it's exquisite!
When the layers are softened the poetry of the piece becomes crystal clear.
Gave me absolute chills.
phew! this is one of those "it's a great day to be a human" moments...class and classic, thank you.
the feeling is good.🙏👌
This is one of my favorite songs. You made it better
"Tawanda"...."Fried Green Tomatoes" movie hero. Now, I can imagine how that lady could have looked but, slamming into other vehicles @ a local grocery store? Uh, NO. This is legendary and Fleetwood Mac jazz style, NICE. 70's never sounded so good!! Great memories, even with the 90's. Anyone listening here in 2023?
Really nice cover - this singer has a beautiful voice and Jacob is a truly amazing versatile musician...tops!
🪄The flute is a f@cking heartbreaker.❤🔥 A texture completely missing today. But in the 70's...🎶📽🎵📺🎶📻🎵
What a voice!!!!! Incredible musicianship from all involved. Such a great version of a great song 😊
