JAMIE CULLUM

Sinatra in sneakers’ and ‘David Beckham of Jazz’ is how the press characterised 23-year old British pianist/vocalist Jamie Cullum. His album ‘Twentysomething’ (Universal) entered the top 5 in the UK and his concerts attracted full houses all over London. His refreshing and energetic approach of standards puts above another ‘young crooner’, especially when he plays Jimi Hendrix’ ‘When the Wind Cries Mary’ or a cover by Radiohead. ‘Cullum’s frantic, wildly upbeat style is exciting and vastly entertaining. An hour with him flies by and leaves you exhausted in the process’ (New York Sun).
