During our trip to LA, we met up with Grammy nominated saxophonist Dave Koz to tell him about Postmodern Jukebox. He loved the idea and offered to help us do a vintage remake of that song with that famous 80's sax riff. Check out the "Careless Whisper" variations in his solo at 1:42

0:49 the bass players reaction gets me every time
He was clearly startled, but never stopped playing.
didn't miss a single note though. Bassman is the real MVP here
I think he knew that would happen
OBVIOUSLY XD
😂
The Sax player jumping out of every corner got me every time, especially when he accidentally scared the guy on Bass
And he just keeps going lol
he's a little show thief lol i love it
I love Dave Koz. ;)
It was put on. He knew what the sax guy was doing.
That's strange. You mean they didn't rehearse before the actual recording? But kudos to the bass player anyway. He didn't appear to miss a beat.
What I love about this version - and it seems nobody else comments on this - are the style quotations. At 2:04 they move into a 12/8 shuffle. From 2:15 to 2:20 they play in 5/4, basically Paul Desmond's "Take Five", and then from 2:27 to 2:34 this is the Police's "Message in a Bottle". And after 7 seconds, straight back into the original. What a genius arrangement!!
Thank you so much for yr comment. I love people like you. Specially linking it back and fort from previous amazing artist of different generations. And putting time to put the time stamps a bit of descriptions.
THANK YOU.
They should pin your amazing comment..
I've been trying hear the time over and over, but couldn't figure out the 5/4, so thanks! Also I thought 2:04 was 6/8, but close enough :D
i literally read this comment as the switch happened and it made it ten times more enjoyable
The reason nobody commented about it is because 99% of people aren't musically trained and they just listen without obsessively breaking down every element. :-D
@@jw-fb1iq "Obsessively" is the wrong word. This is to enjoy even more.
That Take Five lick caught me so off-guard holy hell this cover is immaculately good
Also the "message in a bottle" intro piano right after... a few Easter eggs in there!
@@d1p70 jazz musicians will find a way to sneak any Easter Egg in, no ifs or buts
heard that on spotify and came specifically to youtube to see people talking about it, i jumped out of my chair and paused my game lmao
Oh HELL YEAH! That hit me hard.
Да ни фига подобного ковер - это обезьянничество и качества там не будет.. а тем более новых находок для дураков, типа тебя нет.. А тебя уже это радует, да?
Can we have a moment of silence to appreciate the amazing pianist at the back?
the pianist is Scott Bradlee, the creator of Postmodern Jukebox
+Katie Stock I hope Scot bradlee and Robyn Adele Anderson married ; )
Terrence Bata I shipp it.
Oh, him. What's his name again?
The pianist is the brains behind the operations. Scott Bradlee.
Like literally, when are you BREATHING? This is amazing
+Hamelyn six That's what you call breathtaking ;)
+PostmodernJukebox 👍👍👍
greatttttt
If you listen very closely you can hear her quickly take breaths in between verses, singers and musicians tend to learn to do this very quickly so as to stay on beat.
Many sax and trumpet players use circular breathing. That's how my little brother do.
I love this version. I miss Robyn. A lot of great singers have sung with Scott now, but Robyn really nailed the vibe of their music both with her style and voice.
Robyn isn't singing for PMJ anymore?
@@dunzek943 haven't been for some time. She has her own channel.
One of them moved across the country, which made things complicated.
А почему ты оцениваешь Робина животными категориями, которые недоказуемы в обычной реальности людей? Или вы там все животные...
Agreed
10 years and still one of my favorites
2:01 that emotional change the saxman made and put his leg up like a cartoon made me cry. REAL ARTIST.
I got u I love this part 😩
The saxman is Dave Koz .. one of the greatest smooth jazz artists ever :) .. Check out his music, you might like it.
Dave Koz on sax. Saw him in concert and not only is he good on the sax but a real funny and entertaining guy. His musical change at 2:00 in was to one of his songs.
Well Robyn certainly thought it was hot
Yes! Saxman Dave Koz is skilled and funny... kinda like Basketballman Michael Jordan jumps high and dribbles pretty good.
The lead player singing good
The saxophone guy is really very very good
And the movements she does to the music, really a pleasure to watch it! Thank you so much for this song!
look for changes in drummer ;]
@ I know!
They must have swapped outfits 7 times!
I agree! That instrument is an extension of his soul!
Coming back to this after 8 years, and it still blows me away. Superb.
And now for the first time I notice the interactions between Dave and Robyn. This performance just keeps on giving...
Just this whole performance mesmerizes me. The sax player is great, the drummer plays like 4 different styles, all in one song, the piano player is banging that left hand, the bass player is thumping, the singer is fantastic and her eyes contain so much expression. How could this get any better?
derek a Nailed it
derek a - Best comment.
derek a the transition between careless and take 5 is so seamless. And that’s not even just a different style but a whole other time signature as well
Captain kiwi that’s what you get real musicians: quality.
Deadpool cameo?
Imagine stepping into the actual 1930's and playing this and see the faces of the people.
People in the 30s: damn this is a bop
Maybe you aren't ready for this yet but you're grand kids are gonna love it
one of those shirts nice preference 😉
@@guywithphone9222 your
one of those shirts with a shit Mickey mouse I’m not even sure it would be grand kids
This just ridiculous. It should be impossible to create such a flawless piece of music. I must have seen this about a 100 times by now, and still keep going back to it. Goosebumps every time.
It's hard to grasp full-blown autistic meltdow best planet action is to accept it and move on
The drummer doing some outstanding rhythms
All while staring into the camera like a boss
0:49 SURPRISE SAXOPHONE! (the bass player's reaction is priceless)
Thank you for pointing that out.. That was priceless
That was the best. Somehow the song is even better with that reaction.
It was pretty great aha. Understandable. They probably mixed down the sax when editing, I'd probably have jumped just as badly as Adam did lol
As the former bass/tuba player...we don't get much fun.
Congrats for everyone who got to the bonus level!!!
I cant so I'm just listening
thx, I got to the bonus level
Thanks!
@ChiefZoomy 9 yeah
Got 95% on it but can’t get higher
Brilliant, the rendition of how they put this one together, the arrangement and music, singing is just brilliant. I have listened to them before numerous times and they are incredible and so talented. Great job.
George Michael's original version is beautiful. But I love this vintage version; It gives it a different air, original, more casual but very accomplished. Congratulations to Potmodern; I hope they keep making new versions of good songs.
The saxman just having the time of his life right there
He's dave koz
KOZ he can! 😆
He’s my all time fave sax player because he is ALWAYS so entertaining to watch. Look at him playing “The Shadow of Your Smile” with Johnny Mathis singing~…such a wonderful interaction between the two musicians; you see that EVERY time he plays one of his saxes and I’ve never met a player who’s equally good on soprano, alto and tenor. My absolute hero!
“I’m never gonna dance again”
*robyn dances along*
@duality I want her to step on me
I also want her to step on me.
Masochists
Scott is wonderful…love his compositions. Can’t get enough of him n his friends entertaining us…would love to see him in person….
A decade later and still one of my favorite postmodern remix . Dave coz is a beast too . Amazing compilation
Saxophone player: "I am everywhere.. and nowhere..."
I love how he sneaks in "Take Five". I hate how he plays it so much better than I do.
sleepy same but I mean he was nominated for a Grammy
Robyn Adele Anderson is magnificent. She has a magnificent range and understanding of styles. A real star.
George would be sooo blown away. Brilliant ❤
Starts out 4/4
Changes to 3/4
Changes to 5/4 = Take Five by Dave Brubeck
Back to 4/4, but is now the outro of Message In A Bottle by the Police
Back to Careless Whisper
This is the most brilliant thing I've seen in years. Are they touring? If not, WHY NOT????
Postmodern Jukebox tours relentlessly - gotta see the show!
I've been hoping to hear them do a Brubeck-style version of some Led Zep for a while now - that little hint of Take Five was exciting!
I'd say 6/8 instead of 3/4
And it can't be overstated just how good that drummer is. I'm sure it took some work, but that guy is fucking good.
favorite part of the solo when he goes into "Take 5."
Do You know from what song is the part in 3/4, just before "Take. 5"
came from the new Google Doodle and laughed so hard when the sax came in
same that game has legit gotten me through the day its stupidly addictive
hi countered snow SAME
I like the wood man pfp
the same
Same
I don't know how many times i've came to listen this Robin version. But I always ended up satisfied.
Thanks Robin, you're great
Fabulous voice and performance! I also love Ms. Anderson’s look!
lmao the way the bass player got scared 50 seconds in
gets me every time
Sam Shrestha lmao!
Sam Shrestha lol
And the Oscar goes to...
HAHAHAHAHAHHA
Video flagged for saxual content
But it is straight sax so at least most of religious and/or conservative people shouldn't have problem with it?
@@zabnat Dave Koz is gay, so we might have a problem...(grin)
well it gives eargasm
@@orcofnbu
That feeling, eargasm, is the definition of PMJ.
Dude, that is some religious sax right there boyo
Loved it and Scott's message - at the end - even more 💜. We adore your crazy ideas, sir! We are blessed to experience the birth of a new school in musical thought and I strongly believe you and all the musicians involved in PMJ are making music history! 👏👏👏💜🙏
Love the way Scott’s hands move on the piano. Looks like he’s having so much fun!
I wish the other band member wasn't blocking him.
I realize, watching these videos, that the piano is a lot more of a percussive instrument than I thought.
It looks less like he's pressing individual keys to make notes, and more like his hands just have an idea of how they want to strike the area the keys lay in...and they just happen to hit all the tuned actuators. Like...a high-detail xylophone, just complicated and awesome.
Neat.
this was so accurate and weirdly beautiful
Fun fact the piano is actually in the percussion family!! But I agree fully they do a wonder job showing that side of the instrument. ^.^
The piano is actually a percussion instrument, considering that it uses hammers to strike strings.
although i agree with you, xylophone is also a high-detail instrument (and marimba even more so) and getting good takes a lot of time and practice. but yes, the piano is just a fantastic instrument!
Lunumbrus I agree with you, although I don't think his hands have an area containing multiple keys, I think he's done enough practice to hit the correct keys every time.
Savage version of this song, and great saxes, looking forward to seeing yea guys in Galway Ireland.
+TheShuteye We are looking forward to Galway as well!
+shurednichso I've known about them for about two days too and I wanna get tickets 😹😹
As opposed to Galway Bulgaria?
Ther's a Galway in Jamaica and in the u.s
...savage?
Congratulations on your award Scott, well deserved! You have taken top selling covers from the past and presented them with Epic interpretations to resonate every sense of our being! Thank You!
What award?
I love how they really enjoy themselves in this song.
The saxsophonist is super.
"The saxsophonist", are you kidding me? He's the great old crack Dave Koz!
I like how he just walks off and reappears.
surely better than epic sax guy
Koz Dave can !!
Check out "Summer Horns".
What I love the most is how cute Saxman thinks he is.
(He's right, of course.)
Oh yeah. He right.
Smooth jazz you mean. Radically different audiences
Yes he is!
@@TWO20 clarification isn’t really needed in this case! No need to separate musicians
The one and only Dave Koz
Que linda voz e Músicos maravilhosos Parabéns !!!
With all the great, and all the incredible numbers PMJ has done, if I had to pick a favourite, it would be this. It's Scott's congenial arrangement that keeps changing styles, it's the genius of the original song, it's Robyn's unique voice and her emoting, and it's the pure and simple set up. This song is the Sistine Chapel of whatever it is PMJ does.
Robyn's antics just before and after the 2:00 mark remind me of a scene in a Star Trek episode. Fans will know which one I mean.
A little Dave Brubeck makes everything better.
I know, right? "Take Five" is just an amzing piece of music, and the sax parts are more than brilliant.
and the bit thats after "take 5".. for a bonus point ?!?! I knew the band and it took me a few songs to figure out the song.
Police - Message in a Bottle
Anon Nymous
I was like, "meh, good musicians, nice groovin', but regular cover". When they played Take Five the video got my thumbs up.
Robyn is simply BEAUTIFUL!!
Всегда позитивные эмоции после просмотра. Периодически, когда грустно, пересматриваю уже много лет. Спасибо коллективу, получилось на самом деле что то настоящее.
Quality and talent in all these artists. Real wonderful music ❤🙏😭
1:51 how to flirt with a saxophone
Utterly shameless, but that's what a saxophone is for.
She totally checked him out a few times. I need a sax....
And a haircut.
i think playing a sax should already be considered flirting.
Michael Madsen
Google Doodle brought me here 😭 and I’m SOO happy I clicked it and played! 💃🏽🕺I made it to the bonus round 🥳
omg same sjdhjdhf
Bestie I got 100% in the two-player mode bonus and I just needed to tell someone cuz I'm so proud lmao
yassss 🥳 proud of y’all ! 🙌🏾
me too
@@Fred-iv9dt congrats
I love how good his emotional attachment with that sax lets him look so involved in the pleasure of the music and not only the process
What an amazing version!!!
I am a special education teacher at a middle school. I play your music throughout the day for my students and they get up and dance! They love it as much as I do!
Can we take a moment to appreciate the flawless continuation into the next line of lyrics at 0:31? Between “goodbyes” and “yes”. Breathing is on point.
Out F-ing standing. Dripping with talent- all of them. I loved it!!!
it's so complex and so detailed! those transitions, beautifully done , exceptional performance by the band and the singer, thanks!
RIP George Michael
The fuck he died? HOW DARE HE!
2016 strikes again.
Preferably strawberries ;)
😞😞😞😞
the good always die too young
2:13 Take Five (Dave Brubeck)
2:26 Piano player starts playing Message in a bottle by the police.
Thank you!!! Been trying to figure out "Take Five" for so long.
Thank god im not the only one who heard Message in a Bottle
Thanks, I was about to ask what is the reference at 2:13 as it was really familiar
I missed 'Message In A Bottle'. Thanks!
Not that many 5/4 pieces I can think of, so Brubeck was obvious to me but I really couldn't put my finger on The Police even though it sounded familiar. Thanks!
The drummer changing styles mid song had me in stitches
Wow! This is one heck of a talented band! (never heard of them before). Great music, will have to look up all their performances. Cheers.
I rate the moment at 2:12 a 5/4
Gnarlic the timing of this joke is a bit odd. ...
I saw what you did there.
Nice
Brubeck quotes in music are right up there with Sun Tsu quotes in philosophy. Always saying something worth considering.
It's a 5/7 for me.
I love how this is really a duet between the sax and the vocals.
Excuse-me Sr(or Ms) what is the anime in your profile?
@@PauloRicardo-dv2ft that's hentai you uncultured swine
@@saoircest yeah, but wich hentai?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That guy is just a show stealer :) I love it. I lost it when he popped up in the front, i knew he was gonna l;ol. the 3 hit combo im dead
I fucking hate hentai
0:00
'Wow, the lead singer is really pretty'
0:49
'OH GOD THE SAXOPHONIST IS REALLY PRETTY HELP'
Bi energy
Everything is so perfect about this rendition that I don't even know what to say. Everytime I listen to it, it's like balm to my ears. Great job!
the line '' i never gonna dance again '' got me ❤️❤️
I rarely say this - and I mean, RARELY - but that was a great sax solo. Well done! Nice to see actual musicians in a video.
Edit: oh, that was Dave Koz. No wonder it was such a great solo!
Correct. That's Dave Koz.
*🎷 KOZ 🎷*
Yeah for sure, his solo was great. I'm a jazz noob, but even I picked up the Take Five segment he did, super cool.
@@bobn9414 And a couple of bars from Message In A Bottle?
Nobody:
Yellow Note: *”One player playing two player mode, huh? Now, try to play this.”*
Musical notes - "Let's split up gang!"
it's a good game tho
it's NOT EVEN DIFFERENT ON TWO PLAYER MODE.
@@snakeorbreak6258 well yeah it’s the same but now two people can play-
Well I mean most two player games can be played with a single person-
@@wouldyourather6105 can't two people play the one-player mode just like one person can play the two-player mode?
Woww .. Excellent vintage jazz fusion of this song ¨Careless Whisper¨, they even included chords from ¨Take Five¨, quality choreography and video production. 100 Points.
9 years ago! OMG! Still the best Careless Whisper cover from PMJ.Scott Bradlee the wizard of styles :)
Watching her is... hypnotizing.
I NEED THIS IN FALLOUT OH MY GOD ITS SO GOOD
There needs to be a PMJ radio mod!
ICARUSxRISING And if there's not...Well,making radios can't be hard :X
There already was one, unfortunately it was taken down from the Nexus. You might find a (possibly outdated) version here: fallout4-mod.com/miscellaneous/postmodern-jukebox-radio-station/ (Please delete this post if considered copyright infringement)
Oh My,Imma look it up
Not really FO style, not at all, in fact.
That was absolutely fantastic. I'm usually not crazy about covers of songs I like, but you knocked it out of the park.
Слушаешь и не оторваться. The highest achievement
This REALLY makes me wish I could play the Saxophone.
Well with Dave Coz being a multi-platinum selling jazz saxophonist guesting on this you would have to dedicate your life to playing. There's a ton of Dave's videos out there so please give them a watch 👍
Ha, me too, just considering my spending £1300 on a Yamaha
yo its never too late
Wow, the way she looks at the saxophonist makes me melt...
Damn, I just noticed that, that's some tension right there and he acknowledges it in some places. In others she appears to almost directly address him.
One of my absolute favorites!!
I love this cover especially the sampling from "Take Five". I always enjoy Robyyn's beautiful voice but this time the band especially the sax player really stood out.
RIP George Michael.
He pops up with a different saxophone every time!
Nice catch
Alto then tenor then alto
You guys have no idea how much I LOVE this… god it’s amazing !! 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
these are like going to another dimension where these songs are the norm. I love it!!
shoutout to the legends that got to the bonus round. It was definitely worth it!!!
true
Gotta admit. I was bopping along to this.
They are pretty good. Saw something going around at Christmas and got hooked.
Beautfiul song!
Briliant performance!
Magnificent voice!
My friends, you are amazing!! What a incredible theme!! Congratulations!! 🙏🥰❤️👊🎤🎵🎶🎻🎹🎸🎼🎷🥁❤
"Never gonna dance again" is kind of an empty promise when you're dancing RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
haha im upvoting this one
'twas cute tho ♥
The like button I know where it is. Where's the clap button?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great arrangement and Robyn's voice is so rich!
This is incredible. I listen to it over and over again and can't stop.
I still can't stop.
it’s really cool that people are finding out about this cover and the band from the next Savoy Ballroom Google Doodle! :D
I love the drummer's smile when he stars playing "Take Five".
Maravillosa mezcla de jazz y bossa nova para este cover con tan hermosa voz y músicos estupendos 👏👏👏👏🌹
X2
Amazing. Outstanding. Love it!
so cool...*watches each instrument at a time for the next hour*
Plazmatic Aphelion
Hah. Same.
Love all the musical references in this one. I almost lost it when I heard Take five. Love it!
Dopeness
take five! i was thinking whats the name of that song for days lol
same here once i heard take five i flipped out!
Also a lick from the Police's "Message in a Bottle"?
Good catch. I picked up Take Five right away, but missed Message in a Bottle!
Careless masterpiece......Beautiful.....
They are allll amazing,the girl’s voice is just stunning ,and the guy with the saxophone 🎷 hell what can i say just wow ❤️
Careless Whisper with a Take Five interlude? Excellent!
i know right? the sudden take five really caught me off guard, in a good way though haha
I feel like not many people had actually noticed that... :(
I'm also feeling like, there's a piece of Sting's song from 2:26 - is it only me? I'm sending you an S.O.S - this particular part :D
@@TheAdrianWeber yes! i heard that part but i couldn't place what song it was
After Take 5, it was also a part of Message In A Bottle by the Police. :)
Ellenai yep Sending out an SOS is in there
2:13 "Take five" , Dave Brubeck's melody :)
Carla P. Malo Lol. At least somebody else realized that.
Carla P. Malo Thanks, dude...I was searching the name of that song xD
Carla P. Malo Sorry for my pedanticism (not a word I think) It's by Paul Desmond
Sean Thrasher that's true :) pardon me, it was performed by the The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Carla P. Malo And at 2:25 they use Message in a Bottle. These guys are awesome!
To take a modern song and turn it into a 30 dixieland jazz arrangement is genius. And dave oz is the bomb been a fan of his for 30 years. May have to see the band when they come to Akron in the spring. great talent on these tunes
Exactly what I was looking for I love this kind of music and definitely with now a days music
