Jamie who? Thats what I first said, when I was given a CD to listern too. Now I have 5 of his CD's and the DVD. What a breath of fresh air.

Jamie Cullum is a short little 26 yr old English guy. He plays the piano and sings alot of the swing classics, made famous by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis,Dean Martin and Tony Bennet.

He takes a swing classic, that we have all heard Sinatra sing a 1000 times, or by Michael Bolton, Rod Stewart, Barry Manilow, Harry Connick Jnr and Michael Buble. They all sang it the same, they have all just recorded the classic's. They just go through the motions and sing along to the band. However Jamie adds his Jazz touch. You do not have to be a jazz fan to enjoy this music.

The end result is fantastic. His voice, young, powerful, and a little rasp when he needs too, flows as he plays the piano. To watch this little guy bounce around on stage and on the piano is something that has not be seen since Angus Young of AC/DC does with his guitar or Jerry Lewis of the Rock N Roll era, did to his piano. His band memders are all in their 40's, This little guy looks like thier son, But when performs, he controls the stage.

Jamies CD's so far have been fantastic. His latest Catching Tales is superb. Most of the tracks written by Jamie himself. Not for along time have we seen a young Jazz superstar. If he can keep himself clean and on the same track he is on now, expect to have his name mentioned in the same breath as Paul McCartney or Elvis Presley. His song writing is now coming to front, he is aslo writing songs with Guy Chambers, The writer who wrote most of Robbie Williams hits.

He is currently on a sell out tour in the United States.

If you cant get to see him live, get his DVD. No I dont sell these, I am just hoping you can get the same feelings I do when you hear or see this guy.

For more info go to Jamie Cullums website. This will give up to date tour information. I hope this has been some help. 

Good Luck.
