Iggy Pop (with “Little Iggy”) sells insurance for Swiftcover.

Iggy Pop is going to release a jazz album in May. Iggy was asked to write music for a documentary about French author Michel Houellebecq and it manifested his new record, “Preliminaires”.
From Undercover…
“As I looked at footage of Michel and re-read the book, which I did with intense pleasure when it came out, in my mind, I created music that would have been the music that I would hear in my soul when I read this book,” Pop says in a video to announce the album.
“At one point, I just got sick of idiot thugs with guitars banging out crappy music,” Iggy says. “I was starting to listen to a lot of New Orleans-era Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton type of jazz, and I’ve always loved quieter ballads.”
Well, why not?
Maybe this will start a trend like the Great American Songbook did a while back.
