Ever since I discovered Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox on Youtube.com, I have enthusiastically supported his modern song arrangements.
When I attended Lehigh University, one of my electives was to study Jazz. I enjoyed the music of the '20s and '30s, especially Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Billie Holiday. It was disappointing to see how current Jazz had turned into elevator music, ala Kenny G. When I heard Scott Bradlee's on modern songs, I was excited, as it reminded me of the Jazz greats. I purchased all of PMJ's albums and eagerly anticipated seeing them live.
Today's performance at the Warfield Theater was exciting and uplifting. Although they appeared amateurish at times, I liked the eclectic energy and enthusiasm of the band's musicians.
PMJ started the set with "Fancy" - an Iggy Azalea cover that sounds nothing like Iggy Azalea.
Inna and I liked the concert and the talented singers and musicians.
We especially liked Arianna Savalis singing "No Diggity" and Haley Reinhart singing "Creep." Sara Reich also tap-danced very well through most of the songs!
The only disappointment was that some significant singers were not at the Sunday show. This included Scott Bradlee, Robyn Adele Anderson, Morgan James, and others.
We had a great time and hope to see PMJ again!
