Hi fans, note!
Go here, click 'Music', and click 'More' for album 'Twenty
something'.

Does anybody else have this album? I'd never heard of the guy until I
saw him on BBC Four. I was amazed by how natural and mature his voice
is given his years, and also by his ability to totally own the piano.
All analogue this recording--up until the CD bit, of course--and it
sounds really, really good for it. And wow, what great music. No one
so young should be this talented.
IMO he's over-hyped. "good-enough-for-jazz" voice and a reasonably
accomplished pianist, but nothing special. I can name off the top of my
head
10 jazz piano players in Britain more original and interested than
Cullum.
And a 100 more who are spinning in their graves (@ 33.33 rpm, natch
:-)!!
'Jazz', my arse.....
Most of the best jazz players will be spinning at 78 rpm! :-)
Fair comment!
(Wot you doing on this time of day - pulling a 'sickie' or summat?)
