Todd Bishop's Pop Art 4 - 69 Année Érotique: The Music of Serge Gainsbourg (2009)

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 alternately dark and jubilant pop hits, including Cannabis, Valse de Melody, and 69 Annee Erotique.
