Description:

"His rich pop constructions compare with those of Burt Bacharach, Jimmy Webb, and The Beatles...A fiercely intelligent libertarian, Saussy is the Sideshow Bob of pop. He is a polymath with his own online museum where you can check out (and buy) his music, books, films, and paintings, which frequently feature brown paper bags "because they contain, conceal, they transport, and they are free". He is not a man to be taken lightly. Saussy is also back on stage for the first time in 30 years, playing a set of new songs in Nashville under the name of the Chocolate Orchid Piano Bar. "It's the ideal piano bar," he explains, "where only standards are played, standards nobody has ever heard before. One where the pianist sings his own songs that already seem familiar to you.' - Bob Stanley (St-Etienne), The Guardian
