Bishop,Todd / Pop Art 4 69 Annee Erotique: Music Of Serge Gainsbourg CD

Portland, Oregon drummer & visual artist Todd Bishop takes on a new series of projects with his "Pop Art 4" group, beginning with a modern, cinematic reading of music from the French composer, singer, actor and pop icon Serge Gainsbourg. With keyboardist Steve Moore (Bill Frisell, Skerik), saxophonist Rich Cole, and bassist Geoff Harper, Bishop brings the group aesthetic he explored with his groups Lower Monumental and Flatland ("sculpting ambient soundscapes of apprehension and tremulous anticipation..." All About Jazz) to Gainsbourg's worldly cynical yet often jubilant pop hits, including Cannabis, Valse de Melody, and 69 Annee Erotique.
