Hi fans, note!

Go here, click 'Music', and click 'More' for album 'Twenty something'.

http://www.jamiecullum.com/JCFrameset.htm

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! :-)

What are they more interested in? Or do you mean interesting?

So name the ten, then. I'm not a 'jazz person', but I certainly
appreciate what Cullum does. I appreciate what Paquito D'Rivera does
too, though for different reasons.

So do share. I'm in a music-buying mood.

doubt...... but think of the mess ;-)

Now where . . . Ah-HA! Children in Need. I saw his performance, but I
don't remember whether I liked it or not. That's usually not a good
sign.
