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. -- td |

Another recent record of 'almost entirely "live"' performances is "Isley meets Bacharach". Isley has a really high voice. He's old but talented. http://www.isleysingsbacharach.com/ Stephen |

I could only take HKJ in small doses, a long car trip is far far too much. Once I was trapped in a car where the driver played the Pogues non stop for 500 miles while smoking cheroots Arghhhhh. The lady concerned also had a Mike and the Mechanics cassette. Both mysteriously disappeared from the car during a rest break. Fitzgerald/Washington/Vaughan/Lee I will listen to any time of the day (or preferably night). Me also. d _____________________________ http://www.pearce.uk.com |

I'm not looking at Fitzgerald/Washington/Vaughan/Lee level of performance here but HKJ is not that bad. Oh he is - I was first forced to listen to him on a car journey to Switzerland.

Oh: And I disagree. Some Harry Connick I like. I have to be in the mood, and it's always background music. I like Jamie a lot, however. It may not be 'jazz' as the 'jazz people' define it, but I don't at all think it's the sort of dried out **** you mention. I like his voice and he can play piano. When you see him perform, you could not say that he is not feeling the music. Anyway, horses for courses and all that. Viva Richard Clayderman!* -- td * Only joking. I do like 'real jazz' too. |

I didn't say he was good, its just the present competition though I suppose its good to try and support home grown talent. Personally I don't think either of 'em gets close to Harry Connick Jnr. Don't say 'Who?' To my ears, Harry Connick Jnr. makes Christmas music. I like some of it, but it's not always Christmas in heaven; I couldn't, I'm afraid, sit and listen seriously to one of his albums. I did sit and listen to Jamie's album and I really, really enjoyed it. I am beginning to gather that Jamie is a somewhat controversial artist. The traditionalists and music snobs find his 'dumbing down' of the classics highly offensive. Good. **** 'em. -- td |

... Another recent record of 'almost entirely "live"' performances is "Isley meets Bacharach". Isley has a really high voice. He's old but talented. Hi Stephen. I was fortunate enough to hear Burt and Ronnie perform this live in NY 2 weeks back, with a 40-piece orchestra. An astonishing night's music making! John Atkinson Editor, Stereophile |
