Scott Bradlee has long had a love/hate relationship with pop music.

Growing up as an aspiring jazz pianist, Scott was not interested in listening to anything that might appeal to those that he deemed to possess a less than refined palette of musical taste. This willful ignorance continued for some time; it was not until he began making YouTube videos (and subsequently receiving requests for modern pop songs) that Scott decided to drop his preconceived notions and examine contemporary pop with an open mind.

What he found is that, despite his initial aversion to the stuff Scott was hearing, he was unable to truly categorize this as “bad music” without first defining a set of arbitrary, culturally-defined criteria. Furthermore, the fact that such a rigorous vetting process exists for the output of major labels indicated that these songs and artists certainly RESONATED with the culture of our times–no easy feat, in and of itself. As a relentless devil’s advocate, Scott then found that by simply altering the context of such songs, he could find quite a bit of artistic merit inside of them.

His goal with Postmodern Jukebox is to get his audience to think of songs not as rigid, ephemeral objects, but like malleable globs of silly putty. Songs can be twisted, shaped, and altered without losing their identities–just as we grow, age, and expire without losing ours–and it is through this exploration that the gap between “high” and “low” art can be bridged most readily.

He wants to contribute to the pop music lexicon in the best way that he can.

He wants to encourage others to push the boundaries of genres, and give them the tools to do so.

He wants to create an alternate universe of popular song.

This channel is HEAVEN.

For some reason, as a drummer for rock, grunge, and drum'n'bass style music, I love this group too! In fact, I might now convert from rock to jazz.

I just love it during 2:53 the sax guy teases us with a little bit of the original "Beauty and The Beast" beat and see the expression of the guy with double bass... Priceless

So good! Love this version. I was waiting for the rap part to see how they handled it... It turned out amazing!

ForestSkies

10y↑36

I have no idea how, but you guys somehow manage to take songs I hate and make them something I like. Not an easy feat and it just shows how tremendously skilled you are. I am just astounded, and at a loss for words that describe how much I respect you all as musicians. No, better than that, artisans and masters of your trade.

Марат Бешметов

This makes me feel like I'm sitting in a piano lounge, drinking a glass of scotch, thinking about the world's problems, yet still not being worried about them.

I love that people with actual musical talent can take songs like this and make them not only bearable, but extremely enjoyable.

Mikey F

Every song you guys cover just oozes pure classiness

gaspaxuelf

This cover sounds sooo cool I had I to erase from my mind that there ever was an original version, it belongs to you now. Hats off and thanks for your songs.

C D

10y↑38

This is my favorite out of them all. Listen to this at least once a day

Taylor Diveley

10y↑1

This is still my favorite cover you guys have done. Everything goes together perfectly. The bass is stunning and the way the drummer switches his technique in different parts of the song. And of course the singer... As you can tell, I'm obsessed.

Rose S

8y↑42

I love the quality of her voice. I really like her Where is she now? Why isn't she doing covers anymore?

Jonda Jehlik

+Rose Giah Sabandal She is on The EU tour with Von Smith and many others :-)

Saffron O'Donnell

She is. But this is with PMJ. She has her own YouTube channel, under her name: Robyn Adele Anderson

Marc Schmidt

Michael Franklin

She has her own YouTube page. Lol she still songs covers with her own band.

Lorna Steffen

10y↑2

She is amazing and the band is phenomenal!

Pablo Horteg

10y↑41

Would love to hear her use her higher register sometimes. She has a great deep voice, but surely she can hit a few high notes every now and then?

Van Film

Pablo Horteg it's the song type, also she's an alto so it's her voice type either

Steven Alwine

10y↑13

It wouldn't really be in keeping with the style of the musical genres they apply. Part of jazz/swing/big band is that it was meant to be performed live for several hours at a time, many times in a week. When you get a lady who can sing as who looks like a proverbial bombshell, you're not going to give her material that would preclude her from being onstage as much as possible. Even if she can really push her range with accuracy, it wouldn't be keeping with the live jazz sound & style of the band, IMO.

Herbzi Leaf

10y↑5

@Can Sahin also cuz this is a justin beaver song.. :P

flanker

10y↑31

I think the fact she hasn't done so yet, suggests she can't. I'd prefer she keep singing with her own style instead of trying to hit high notes and fail.

Mathew Jackson

10y↑6

This reminds me of the stuff I played in my jazz ensembles at Berklee. Absolutely beautiful and respectable.

Mathew Jackson

10y↑2

Not to mention the incredible dynamics and surprises for us in the song like the stager in the sax solo.

Jane0327

The change in the lyrics is really clever, I like it. :-)

My favourite vocalist from PMJ.
And she was one of the five PMJ vocalists who toured down here this year.

Valentina Bastías

so much better than the original one hahah, loved it :)

Danny J

10y↑16

She sounds better then every original artist. How did we downgrade to the artists we have today that depend on auto tunes and computers instead of real instruments? Sad -_-

JamesAutoDude

10y↑18

Now THIS is music. If I had all the money in the world, I'd pay to get all your songs to be played instead of their originals.

Spencer Meyers

She's easily one of my favorite PMJ singers! Her and Haley Reinhart!

How do you make Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj sound good? POST MODERN JUKEBOX!!! Fantastic voice. What talent!

Wayne Hayes

9y↑29

After listing to you guys songs made me realize that modern pop songs are the underdeveloped an poorly executed they could be good if given more polish like this version but the industry wants to mass produce songs and not take risk.

mokana713

9y↑2

Pretty sure the group actually like some of the songs and artists that they cover and aren't trying to make a point about modern music. True that pop music is trying to be trendy and easily sold, but not all of it is bad and soulless. Some is just different music for different tastes and preferences.

Diego Magaña

after listening im just sad that a beautiful chorus melody was wasted on a pop song by justin bieber.

Instant Classic! THIS IS REAL MUSIC --- This one is for the ages...

Seriously, this is up there with anything Elton John, the Beatles, Mozart, Louis Armstrong, Glen Miller, or anyone ever made.

Wayne Hayes

@GrandAbbot I was being sarcastic.

Damn you comment section an your limited rang of emotion!!!!!!!

GrandAbbot

@Wayne Hayes But Justin/Niki's version is pretty bland and doesn't really leave me with a lasting impression ---- this version however is DOPE!

Criss Rosenlof

Lorton, I describe Robyn's voice as pure sex. She's got that amazing alto that is just sensual. She would have made an amazing act back in the time they are portraying in this video.

I love the respect shown for the vintage style as well as the excellent music and vocals. And of course the fun they're clearly having. Another beautiful job.

Robyn Anderson really gets the moves of a 40s singer down perfectly. My late wife used to do this sort of music (recently, not in the 40s) and she would've been overjoyed to see PJ bringing such professionalism and respect to the style.
