How did Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop”
become a ‘50s-style doo-wop number?
Since when was Meghan Trainor’s “All
About That Bass” about an upright bass
fiddle? At what point did Macklemore’s
“Thrift Shop” evolve into a ‘20s hot jazz
tune? And whose idea was it to rework
Lorde’s “Royals” into a polished ballad
sung by a sad clown? It’s all part of the
topsy-turvy world of Postmodern Jukebox,
an ongoing musical project spearheaded
by pianist and arranger Scott Bradlee, who
takes contemporary pop and rock tunes
and fashions new arrangements for them
that cast them in an unpredictable variety
of musical styles from the past. Visit the
website for information on tickets and other
details.
