Jeff Buckley

Leonard Cohen's song "Hallelujah" pretty much flopped when it came out nearly 40 years ago.

Today, it enjoys cult status and has been performed by everyone from Bob Dylan to Jeff Buckley and Bon Jovi - even appearing in animated hit "Shrek" - in a unique evolution detailed in a new documentary film.

The 24th Akbank Jazz Festival will be held this year between Oct. 23 and Nov. 2. Three headlines of the festival were announced on June 30. Among the stars of this year’s festival will be Jamie Cullum, Christian McBride Trio and Kenny Barron & Dave Holland.
