Release Notes:
British pianist/vocalist Jamie Cullum mixes jazz with melodic pop and rock into
a crossover style that calls to mind such artists as Harry Connick, Jr. and
Norah Jones. In that vein, Cullum will just as often cover a swinging jazz
standard as a modern rock song, and his original compositions deftly move from
earnest ballads to songs of sardonic wit. Having played guitar and piano since
age eight, Cullum developed an avid interest in jazz passed down from his older
brother Ben. Inspired by such piano icons as Oscar Peterson and Dave Brubeck,
Cullum spent some of his formative years living in Paris, where he honed his
abilities performing in jazz clubs.
Cullum eventually earned a degree from Reading University, during which time he
recorded his first album, Heard It All Before, at age 19. The surprise success
of that album eventually put him in contact with jazz bassist Geoff Gascoyne,
who offered Cullum the opportunity to play on his album Songs of the Summer.
With Gascoyne's encouragement, Cullum eventually recorded his second album,
Pointless Nostalgic, released in 2002. The album benefited from a boost of
publicity as it received heavy airplay on TV and radio personality Michael
Parkinson's BBC 2 radio show. Cullum eventually signed with Universal Records
and released his third album, Twentysomething, in 2003. Catching Tales and the
compilation/mixtape album In the Mind of Jamie Cullum followed in 2005 and 2007,
respectively. In 2009, Cullum was nominated along with Clint Eastwood for a
Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for their composition "Gran Torino." A
year later, he released the album The Pursuit. In 2013, Cullum returned with his
sixth studio album, Momentum.
