Hellraiser Iggy Pop is deserting his rock roots to record an album of jazz songs.

The Stooges frontman claims he is "sick" of uninspiring guitar music, and is embracing a new musical direction inspired by the mellow tones of American music great Louis Armstrong, for his new album Preliminaires.

Pop reveals, It's a quieter album with some jazz overtones

Pop reveals, "It's a quieter album with some jazz overtones. That's because at one point I just got sick of listening to idiot thugs with guitars, banging out crappy music. And I was starting to listen to a lot of New Orleans-era Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton-type of jazz".
