Weill's music continues to be performed both in [[popular music|popular]] and [[classical music|classical]] contexts. In Weill's lifetime, his work was most associated with the voice of his wife, [[Lotte Lenya]], but shortly after his death "[[Mack the Knife]]" was established by [[Louis Armstrong]] and [[Bobby Darin]] as a jazz standard. His music has since been recorded by many performers, ranging from [[Nina Simone]], [[Judy Garland]], [[Frank Sinatra]], [[The Doors]], [[Ella Fitzgerald]], [[David Bowie]], [[Robbie Williams]], [[Judy Collins]], [[John Zorn]], [[Dagmar Krause]], [[Steeleye Span]], [[The Young Gods]], and [[PJ Harvey]] to New York's [[Metropolitan Opera]] and the [[Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra]]. Singers as varied as [[Teresa Stratas]], [[Ute Lemper]], [[Gisela May]], [[Anne Sofie von Otter]], [[Max Raabe]], [[Heinz Karl Gruber]], [[Dee Dee Bridgewater]] and [[Marianne Faithfull]] have recorded entire albums of his music.

In 1985, [[Hal Willner]] produced ''[[Lost in the Stars: The Music of Kurt Weill]]'', a [[tribute album]] in which Weill's songs were interpreted by a variety of artists, including [[Todd Rundgren]], [[Tom Waits]], [[Lou Reed]], [[Charlie Haden]] and [[Sting (musician)|Sting]].<ref>{{AllMusic|class=album|id=mw0000194694|title=''Lost in the Stars: The Music of Kurt Weill''|author=Viglione, Joe}}</ref>

[[Amanda Palmer]], singer-pianist of the Brechtian Punk Cabaret duo [[The Dresden Dolls]], has Kurt Weill's name on the front of her keyboard (a pun on the name of the instrument maker [[Kurzweil Music Systems|Kurzweil]]) as a tribute to the composer. In 1991, the seminal [[Switzerland|Swiss]] [[industrial music|industrial]] band [[The Young Gods]] released an album of Kurt Weill songs, ''[[The Young Gods Play Kurt Weill]]''. Weill has also been often cited as an influence on [[Goldfrapp]]'s ''[[Felt Mountain]]''. In 2008, Weill's songs were performed by Canadian musicians (including [[Sarah Slean]] and [[Mary Margaret O'Hara]]) in a tribute concert as part of the first annual Canwest Cabaret Festival in Toronto. In 2009 [[Duke Special]] released an EP, [[Huckleberry Finn (EP)|''Huckleberry Finn'']], of five songs from an unfinished musical by Kurt Weill based on [[Adventures of Huckleberry Finn|the novel]] by [[Mark Twain]].
