To say I'm a fan of Postmodern Jukebox, is a major
understatement. Scott Bradlee's arrangements are
nothing short of brilliant ! The singers are absolutely
incredible. These 107 MP4's are on YouTube, if you
want to sample before committing to a download.
For ordering CD's, MP3s or audifile versions, please
visit PostmodernJukebox.com.
Mr. Bradlee posts these video MP4s at 720k, and currently doesn't offer higher quality for sale, so I don't mind
sharing these fantastic videos with you. These 107
represent MY favorites, but are by no means the totality
of PMJ's catalog--check out YouTube for even more.
I've trimmed the credit slides at the conclusion to a
reasonable length, but otherwise, these are just as PMJ's
posts. The 107 videos will fit a 4.7 DVD.
What, you may ask, is PMJ? Scott Bradlee takes songs
(primarily contemporary) and re-imagines them as they
might have been performed in Jazz Clubs of the 40s and 50s (with a few other styles thrown in for good measure--check out Aqua's Barbie Girl re-done Beach Boy-esque and featuring the incomparable Morgan James, as an example.)
The singers--wow! Ariana Savalas, Haley Reinhart, Sara Niemietz, Natalie Angst, Joey Cook, Casey Abrams,
the afore mentioned Morgan James with her multiple octave range, and many more. They the best I've ever heard. If you watched much of "The Voice", "American Idol" or any of Got Talent shows over the past five years or so, you'll probably recognize more than a few faces from a time when they were perfecting their craft.
Did I mention I'm a fan? I suspect you will be too.
