"In music, there's perhaps no better exemplar of "high concept" than Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox. By design, Bradlee's musical approach is deceptively simple: take mainstream pop hits of today and recast them in the style of earlier pop forms. But rather than simply present stylized versions of classic songs, PMJ finds inspired ways to retool songs that might not have always been viewed as classic material."
"The group is as versatile as it is prolific. To date, Bradlee has released a staggering 30-plus albums. Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox Wed, Sept 3, 7:30pm, $39-$112 Mountain Winery, Saratoga"
Postmodern Jukebox reimagines mainstream pop hits by recasting them in the styles of earlier pop forms. Bradlee's approach is deceptively simple: select contemporary songs and arrange them in vintage idioms such as jazz, swing, and doo-wop. The ensemble converts non-classic material into stylized versions that expose unexpected affinities between musical eras. The group demonstrates versatility through varied arrangements, rotating vocalists, and genre-hopping performances. The project has been highly prolific, with Bradlee releasing more than thirty albums. A live show at Mountain Winery in Saratoga is scheduled for Wed, Sept 3 at 7:30pm, with tickets ranging from $39 to $112.
