Bassist/arranger Geoff Gascoyne has been Jamie Cullum's right-hand man for six years, and subtle jazz variations on pop hooks are his stock in trade. Pop Bop hands classic pop material (the Stylistics' People Make the World Go Round, the Supremes' The Happening, Rufus Wainwright's Going to a Town, Take That's Shine and much more) to the legendary soul/jazz guitarist Jim Mullen, singer Trudy Kerr and young saxophonist Graeme Blevins, a punchy interpreter of anything funky, without sacrificing his jazz-improv flexibility. Going to a Town features Blevins's Sanbornesque alto sax in full flight over Mullen's coolly prodding chordwork and Gascoyne and drummer Sebastiaan de Krom's ticking backbeat. Mullen is sublime in Wes Montgomery mode on The Happening, and Blevins sways sensuously between cruising on the groove and smacking the accents hard in People Make the World Go Round. Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush's Don't Give Up is a lovely slow drifter with another terrific solo from Mullen. It won't make devotees of those pop songs throw the originals away, nor will it make many jazz musicians want to follow the same path, but some passers-by might well get pulled into the fold.
