Buckley was immersed in music and, when not working on his own material or with his band, he contributed numerous times to projects with his friends and musical peers. John Zorn regularly held collaborations at the Knitting Factory, and Buckley performed vocals on the tracks "Taipan" and "D.Popylepis" that appeared on 1992 album John Zorn's Cobra: Live at the Knitting Factory. Buckley contributed vocals on "Jolly Street" from The Jazz Passengers' 1994 album In Love, and he played six string bass and drums on tracks from his ex-girlfriend Rebecca Moore's album Admiral Charcoal's Song . Buckley also performed backup vocals and guitar on Brenda Kahn's "Faith Salons" which was released on her 1996 album Destination Anywhere . On Patti Smith's 1996 album Gone Again , Buckley provided vocals on "Beneath the Southern Cross" and played esraj on "Fireflies". He co-wrote "Despite the Tears" with Chris Dowd, then lead singer of The Seedy Arkhestra, for the album Puzzle, co-produced by Dan Siegler and also contributed vocals and guitar on two more tracks, "A Thousand Tears" and "Flog Your Dead Horse". Buckley's drummer Matt Johnson played on the album as well, along with Joan Wasser and Joseph "Amp" Fiddler. Dowd had previously co-written "What Will You Say" with Buckley and Carla Azar, which appeared on Mystery White Boy .
Buckley also collaborated with other musicians on different projects. He appeared on the soundtrack of First Love, Last Rites, performing vocals on "I Want Someone Badly" backed by the group Shudder to Think. This song later appeared on Grace (Legacy Edition) . He performed two tributes to writers he admired: he read Edgar Allan Poe's poem "Ulalume" for the album Closed on Account of Rabies , and on Kerouac: Kicks Joy Darkness , a tribute to beat poet Jack Kerouac, Buckley performed "Angel Mine" with Inger Lorre. In Los Angeles, Buckley co-wrote and recorded the song "Hollywould" with Sandy Bell, which she released in 2000.
Since Jeff Buckley only completed one album, many posthumous releases, as well as bootlegged unreleased live recordings, have proved popular with fans. These recordings come from all periods of his career; in particular, Buckley made many soundboard recordings of the concerts from his 1995–1996 tours. Mary Guibert, his mother and head of his estate, expressed an interest in releasing these live concerts as a special subscription series, leaving the recordings uncut: "warts and all". [33] However, this project has yet to come to fruition.
A number of Buckley's 4 track demos for My Sweetheart the Drunk have been leaked over the internet but the majority of the demos from this period have remained out of the public domain. Michael Tighe has made reference in particular to one track, "Sky Blue Skin", that he personally feels is a very important song of Buckley's (the track was finally released in 2019). [34] Other names of unreleased songs from the demos have circulated amongst fans including: "The Morning After", "Open Up and Bleed", "Dendrils of Death", "Don't Listen to Anyone But Me", and "Pleasure Seeker". A version of "Dendrils of Death" has been recorded by Buckley's old bassist, Mick Grondahl, and his band Tongue. [35]
Certain live performances by Buckley have specifically been held in high regard. "Dido's Lament", an aria from Dido and Æneas by Henry Purcell, was performed live at the Meltdown festival in 1995, directed by Elvis Costello. The falsetto operatic piece is unusual in Buckley's catalogue, having similarities only with Buckley's version of "Corpus Christi Carol" featured on Grace. The Meltdown festival also featured a particularly beautiful version of "The Other Woman". Although unreleased, an excerpt of this version of "Dido's Lament" has appeared on the soundtrack of BBC documentary Everybody Here Wants You. "Edna Frau" was written with Mick Grondahl, Buckley's bassist and was performed live on at least one occasion on The Hard Luck Tour. Grondahl also sings on this song and it was the only occasion he did so during the time he was a member of Buckley's band. Other popular recordings are a performance of "We All Fall in Love Sometimes" by Elton John and Bernie Taupin recorded on October 11, 1992, for WFMU's "The Music Faucet" and "Three is The Magic Number", by Schoolhouse Rock, from Buckley's Mercury Lounge 1996 New Year's Eve concert. [36]
Michael Tighe also mentioned Buckley's collaboration with Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins, describing "All Flowers in Time Bend Towards the Sun" as a beautiful piece worthy of release. [34] Buckley contributed to a piece of music about alien abduction called "Ozark Melody". The song was recorded in the middle of 1996, with lyrics written by Joe Tripician while the music was composed by Buckley and Frederick Reed. [37] This song is available to download on the internet with permission from the Estate of Jeff Buckley, but has not had an official release.
Jeffrey Scott Buckley was an American musician. After a decade as a session guitarist in Los Angeles, Buckley amassed a moderate following in the early 1990s performing at venues in East Village, Manhattan such as Sin-é. After rebuffing interest from record labels and Herb Cohen—the manager of his father, singer Tim Buckley—he signed with Columbia, recruited a band, and released his only studio album, Grace, in 1994.
No Angel is the debut studio album by English singer-songwriter Dido. Originally released on 1 June 1999 in the United States, the album found a mass audience when it was released worldwide in February 2001.

Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk is a compilation album by the American singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley, released by Columbia Records on May 11, 1998, a year after his death. It comprises recordings that supposed to be as Buckley's second studio album, which he made with the producer Tom Verlaine in 1996 and 1997 remixed by the producer Andy Wallace, along with some of Verlaine's original mixes and demos. It was released after negotiation with Buckley's mother, the owner of his estate, who feared that Sony was trying to exploit his legacy. It received positive reviews.
The Magic Numbers are an English alternative rock band consisting of two brother-and-sister pairs, from Hanwell in west London.

"Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer Leonard Cohen, originally released on his album Various Positions (1984). Achieving little initial success, the song found greater popular acclaim through a new version recorded by John Cale in 1991. Cale's version inspired a 1994 recording by Jeff Buckley that in 2004 was ranked number 259 on Rolling Stone's "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
Live À L'Olympia is a live album by Jeff Buckley, released in 2001. It is the second posthumous live album released since his death in 1997. The CD consists of performances taken from two separate concerts Buckley and his band played on July 6/7, 1995 at Paris Olympia. The French crowd were very receptive as he was well regarded there, as shown when he was awarded France's prestigious "Grand Prix International du Disque" earlier that year. Buckley paused midway in some of the songs to address the crowd and "Hallelujah" features ad-libbed lyrics in response to their enthusiasm. The album also features a version of a song from Nina Simone's repertoire, "That's All I Ask". It is one of two versions of the song officially released, the other appearing on a three-track bonus disc issued with Australian copies of Buckley's Mystery White Boy live album. Buckley played the song at various concerts on his 1995 European tour.
Live in Chicago is a live DVD by Jeff Buckley, recorded on May 13, 1995 at Cabaret Metro during the Mystery White Boy tour.

Leonard Cohen was a Canadian singer-songwriter and poet who was active in music from 1967 until his death in 2016. Cohen released 14 studio albums and eight live albums during the course of a recording career lasting almost 50 years, throughout which he remained an active poet. His entire catalogue is available on Columbia Records. His 1967 debut Songs of Leonard Cohen earned an RIAA gold record; he followed up with three more highly acclaimed albums: Songs from a Room (1969), Songs of Love and Hate (1971) and New Skin for the Old Ceremony (1974), before allowing Phil Spector to produce Death of a Ladies' Man for Warner Bros. Records in 1977. Cohen returned to Columbia in 1979 for Recent Songs, but the label declined to release his next album, Various Positions (1984) in the US, leaving it to American shops to import it from CBS Canada. In 1988, Columbia got behind Cohen again and gave full support to I'm Your Man, which brought his career to new heights, and Cohen followed it with 1992's The Future.
