IT'S true. Iggy Pop has kind of “gone off” rock’n’roll and he admits as much in the liner notes for new album Free.
“I began to recoil from guitar riffs in favour of guitarscapes,” he writes and the record — a more laid-back affair with plenty of trumpet — proves the point.
Perhaps that’s why tonight’s gig from the usually topless godfather of punk is being billed as part of the London Jazz Festival. And he keeps his shirt on.
