Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox

New Yorker Scott Bradlee founded Postmodern Jukebox, a collective that reinvents current hits with period arrangements. On Tuesday, April 28, 2026, the project stops at Salle Pleyel in Paris for a concert where jazz, soul, doo‑wop, swing and the Charleston take center stage. Born online, PMJ made its name through widely shared videos and has now amassed more than two billion views. On stage, the format brings together a rotating cast of singers and musicians, with brass, double bass and piano at its core, creating tailor‑made versions. From Miley Cyrus to Beyoncé, Maroon 5 to Radiohead, and even the Spice Girls or Paul Simon, recent hits are turned into retro standards. The idea is simple: take today’s pop and make it sound as if it came from the clubs of yesteryear. In ten years, Postmodern Jukebox has toured extensively and established a regular appointment with an audience that enjoys rediscovering classics in its own way. At Pleyel, the experience unfolds live, balancing collective energy with meticulous attention to detail.
