We saw Postmodern Jukebox in El Paso on December 2, and they are freaking AMAZING! Highly recommend them. Gunhild was one of three vocalist performing, and she is absolutely a hoot. I'm in the process of ripping six CDs that I ordered a week ago. For whatever reason, I pulled up some PMJ on YouTube and found her name and came across this particular vid and had to post it.
Among the pieces that she did in El Paso, she simultaneously played a trumpet AND an upright bass! She balanced the trumpet on her lips - I can't even bend my back/head back to do that - while picking the bass!
Very cool and impressive.
Anyways, if you like big band jazz, and modern(ish) songs set to big band jazz-type music, you really ought to go see Postmodern Jukebox if they swing by your neighborhood. From what I understand, they have two bands sweeping through the USA and one through Europe and the rest of the world!
