This guy is a hero of mine. PMJ has been a life changing event for me and my wife, and we have travelled the World to see them live - and every gig is different. If you get the chance to see them live, do it!
He's so real and sincere! I love this worldwide movement he's created. Thanks for sharing!!
One of the most impressive things about PMJ -- and a key to their success -- is they release a video every Thursday. The one constant is Scott. He creates the arrangements, but different vocalists appear each week.
There's nothing more satisfying, than seeing someone attain success by working hard, at what they're ... passionate about!
Wonderful. Such a talented young man doing great work. Also, a good inspiration for potential artists who feel stuck, Also, a big thumbs up to his thumbs down to record labels
Scott, you're so incredibly amazing and inspiring. Thank you for all this.
I love PMJ and was truly amazed when they included my country of New Zealand and my home city on their tours... awesome. Most "big" acts play in the larger cities in NZ (Auckland mainly) and never come to the South Island... but these guys did!
I was a huge fan of Scott and his work before he made it big and still am! Love all the new acts he brings on board!
Scott is fantastic! Tell him to bring Postmodern Jukebox to Brazil :D
That was great fun to watch! I love scott Bradlee and PMJ, and I have been following them for a few years now. Thank you for this video.
I’m watching this in 2023, having been one of PMJ’s 6M subscribers, having seen you live twice (and always looking for more opportunities!!), and I’m loving the early history. Puddles was there right at the start! All About That Bass too, wow.
I love wat you have created .you are a great creative musician. and I can tell how grreatful you are to your fans ! keep up your grreat work, and I will be listening.
this what pure talent should looks like and behave. and Genius
That was so fantastic! Keep up the great work!
Scott is amazing!
Thank you for showing that finding one's core then staying true to it while developing it is the way to success.
While I have enjoyed all of your song adaptations, I would have to say the one you tube video that impacted me was your tribute to your dad. It reminded me when I saw Steve Goodman on his last tour and he sang a song about his dad who was a bomber pilot during WWII. In both instances I had a connection to a man I could never meet forged by their sons.
Wow!!!! You went through the changes of life ~You did it tho Oh That Was You 👀 playing the piano like that you rocked that then n now still you're very inspiring thank you for sharing
I'm a huge fan of Scott Bradlee!!! Love PMJ!!!!
I love how he just casually sits on the piano and then play an excerpt of Rhapsody in Blue all chill and shit lololol then get back up and continue with his talk
He is doing weekday live streams right now during the pandemic. Be sure to visit his channel!
Thanks for. Post modern jukebox Scott very interesting and fortunate story .
Thanks for sharing this with everybody :D
I had seen your PMJ perform at the Silver Legacy in Reno,NV. I was in awe of your singers and musicians, one of the best entertaining and performance I've ever attended. Your Q and A at Oxford was very interesting on how PMJ was founded. One note, can the video edit out the girl who couldn't leave her hair alone.
anyone want to guess how many nits she removed??
*The amazing Robyn Adele Anderson deserved a shout-out here.* She was the singer in most of his videos for the first three years, who helped him make it big before he decided to move to LA while she wanted to stay home in NY. He names almost everyone who followed her. Not becoming, Scott.
Robyn's PMJ takes on "Can't Stop" and "Talk Dirty" are absolutely brilliant and have tens of millions of views. She now has her own channel.
She is featured at about 18 minutes.
PMJ is awesome together and now I know Scott is by himself as well👏👂👍🏻❤️
Creep and Crazy are my all time PMJ favourites
Thanks!
I've been watching PMJ for some time and now I have a better perspective of my reasons. The concept brings to mind Glen Miller's work with "Little Brown Jug". That used to be called "jazzing it up".
Hooking up with Haley Reinhart was pivotal for Scott once he moved to LA, as the popularity of her music featured in his videos on his video channel coupled with her live performances on his shows was really big for PMJ, because everyone wanted to go see and listen to Haley Reinhart and Haley did not disappoint. I'd would say she created a lot of momentum for PMJ and their touring success.
Scott is da man.
shame the audience is so dry, really enjoyed hearing a candid, firsthand recap of the PMJ phenomenon.
Michael Schraefel It's not a pub, so....
They are loving it, it is just the English way combined with Oxford Union decorum. If you watch Brian May speak there, you will see a similar reaction...enjoyment, respect and deference.
@@harrietgate not all of the English are quite this muted!
@@BroonParker You are right! Any football match or Question period in the House of Commons will show that they have another side to them! Not long ago we were on a bus in the north of England which slowed down dramatically and then stopped. The bus was about half full, and everyone sat still minding their own business. Eventually my husband (Canadian) went to speak to driver, who said, “T’bus has conked out”. Growing up in the UK, I was taught, “Don’t make a fuss!”
Genious
I should have known he worked on Bioshock Infinites music! Love the work this guy does.
I just discovered him, them PMJ and my daughter says she’s been loving it, him or them. Why didn’t anyone ask the reason for his music or PMJ’s popularity or craving for that in the Union? Of course, as Scott explained, it’s catchy& familiar with good lyrics, future classics, I suppose. And it’s live not machine made with multiple tracks, with raw pure high quality talent of musicians, their enthusiasm…. But I suspect also that we all like the style and era when men smartly dressed with courtesy, women elegantly with the touch of femininity and dance had a certain disciplinary training behind fun move elements. Not PC at all, but those still appeals to us, to be honest.
Where's the promised performance? If you aren't going to show it, cut out the intro or make an note of it in the title/description!
Thanks to Scott Bradlee for his speech anyways.
I love your piano..
This was really interesting. I teach career planning 😊 I want to know about the times that he felt like throwing it all in ?
Wow!
Where in new jersey?
Can we get more jazz Mozart?
ANOTHER GREAT IRISH SPIRIT, BLESS YOUR SINCERE HEART.
He cracked so many good jokes and .... nothing.... different sense of humor over there I guess.
don't worry i'm used to my jokes falling flat :/
The Brits laugh internally. It is cultural. They do not want to miss the next joke. Many Aussies (of Brit descent) do the same. You will overhear them say as they leave "he was really funny." Lol
I didn't catch who he is either and he used a word 'post modern c fox?' so fast that I am trying to catch up his information. Better introductions is always helpful no matter the topic. Anyway, interesting.
vicgmw PostModern Jukebox! His humor is refreshing too. Scott Bradlee loves ya!
*Piano was not for me...several years later...bang*
If you like ragtime music, you may like Tom Brier.
The TH-cam channel is called "Keeper1st".
Sooooo distracting with the girl constantly playing with her hair in the audience! Love PMJ, we only came across them by accident couple months ago on TH-cam, and have now recommended to all our friends. Booked tickets for their 2022 tour here in New Zealand.
Didn’t even notice until you mentioned it…😂😂
Makes me miss the 'Do Da Dog Band '.
George Stanford is correct with his comment,the girl with the grey sweater and red ribbon in her hair has apparently got lice😲
kensmore she must have some type of nervous disorder. So annoying.
I bet that guy would storm pubg
@6:04...laptop screen is a toilet
brass tax y'all!
I like the girl playing with her hair.
OK so I don't know who this guy is and the first 2 minutes didn't tell me. This clip needs to include an introduction of who the speaker is
Oh, "Scott Bradlee is an American musician, pianist, and arranger. He is best known for his viral videos on TH-cam, including his work under the moniker Postmodern Jukebox-an ever-evolving, revolving collective of performers playing popular music in period styles."
Michael, you can usually find this information in the description box. If you click on "Show more", you will see it.
Tim Dorais
You should try the "read more"
And to blow your mind utterly, watch lots of his videos. Truly lots of PMJ’s covers are better than the originals!
Yeah you do bring down the level...
For f's sake has that girl got nits or something!?! Completely ruined it for me cos all I can see is this girl picking at her damn hair! oy vey.....
George Stannard Didn't notice until I read your comment then it ruined it for me
BAAAAAAAA.....
So bloody annoying!
"Nits" hahahahaha
George Stannard driving me crazy too!
I enjoyed this video! Scott Bradlee is great. But that girl, on the right, who keeps picking at her hair is disconcerting.
And now I can't not see her. Thanks.
@@BroonParker sorry...
the girl pulling her hair for 45 minutes was really annoying...
The singing and musicianship in Modern Jukebox is great. Unfortunately their Achielles' Heel is their choice of material. Today's music is largely cranked out by tuneless dweebs who don't understand the difference between putting words to notes as opposed lyrics to melodies. Just because you play a crap tune a different way does not make it any better. It's still crap. A good tune has a melody that can be played by itself and yet hold your attention. Material is the engine that drives all good music.
Jajaja the covers are better than the originals, who would say it. Pop has always been the cancer of music. Let the instrumental digitalisation die do not let the acoustic die.
