You know a particular style of music has run it's course when someone uses it as the template to re-imagine old classical music workhorses (see "A Fifth of Beethoven"). Consider this album by Valjean (Johns), a classically-trained pianist probably best-known for performing the theme to the TV show "Ben Casey". Crazy, daddy-o, crazy.
