No style can resist the sense of derision and all-round musical mastery of New York pianist Scott Bradlee (b. Long Island, New York, 1981). After laying the foundations of his art - anachronistic, offbeat covers - under his own name, with an entire album of rereadings of Nickelback songs, A Motown Tribute to Nickelback (2013), and garnering millions of views on his YouTube channel, he brought together a collective of musicians of variable geometry that same year: Postmodern Jukebox. With them, he retracted international pop tracks such as Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop", Macklemore's "Thrift Shop " and Ke$ha's "Die Young" and placed them in an anachronistic context: 1950s doo-wop, 1930s swing jazz or 1960s rhythm'n'blues. The band's album names mischievously sum up this original concept, clashing eras in joyful oxymorons: Clubbin' With Grandpa (2014), Twist Is the New Twerk (2014), Selfies On Kodachrome (2015).
