	Jamie Cullum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cullum's breakout hit in the United States was "All At Sea" closely followed by a reworking of Radiohead's "High and Dry".
		Following that, Cullum was nominated for a prestigious Grammy award in 2005, and went on to win yet another award at the BBC Jazz Awards, this time scooping Radio 2 "Artist Of The Year", as voted for by listeners of Radio 2.
		Cullum's third major label album, entitled Catching Tales, was released on the September 26, 2005, in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands, and two weeks later in the United States, on October 11.

	George Graham Reviews Jamie Cullum's "Catching Tales"
		Cullum released a couple of independent CDs, mostly of covers of jazz standards, before being signed for his debut major label release, on which he mixed jazz standards with original music, and applied youthful energy to the venerable songs, and developing a performing style that had him jumping on the piano.
		Cullum is a good writer, though his songs sometimes have a tendency to become a pastiche of different styles.
		Cullum himself plays a variety of keyboards and does manipulating of samples and rhythm loops, and he also is heard on guitar on a couple of tracks that can sound downright folky.

	Ben Cullum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Theatre Royal Haymarket Website - London Theatre, London Theatre Guide
		The Cullums moved from Essex to Wiltshire and Jamie's older brother Ben, fired by an enthusiasm for grunge and heavy metal, got an electric guitar for his 13th birthday.
		The title track was a song by his brother: Cullum felt it appropriate, a riposte to the people who expected him to be in thrall to Sinatra, the Fifties, Big Bands and slicked-back hair.
		Jamie Cullum's first album for Universal is called Twentysomething, it was recorded over eight weeks this summer in London with producer Stewart Levine (BB King, George Benson, Herb Alpert, Simply Red and countless others).

	Jamie Cullum: Twentysomething
		Composed by Cullum’s brother, Ben, whom he claims as his biggest influence (and Ben’s two songs are definitely the CD’s best), the song boasts a very comfortable melody that fits Cullum perfectly.
		Ultimately, Cullum is not interesting enough as a singer to really keep one’s interest throughout this CD, and there’s too little of his pianistic talent on display to really feel that one is in the presence of an original instrumental voice.
		Indeed, the Jamie Cullum Trio, heard unadorned on at least a few tracks, is never given a chance to convey a musical personality, as bassist Geoff Gascoyne and drummer Sebastiaan de Krom are never really featured, merely serving as backdrops for Cullum’s keyboards and vocals.

	Guardian \| Jamie Cullum, Twentysomething
		It's an elegantly-produced 14-track summary of Cullum's enthusiastically open listening habits, from American Songbook classics (there are two Cole Porters among six standards), to unselfconsciously autobiographical originals from himself and his brother Ben, and high-quality classic-pop material from Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Buckley.
		Cullum's virtues are a remarkable relaxation (which makes music-making, even in a sophisticated studio recording, sound like fun to him), a youthful bounce that makes his work engagingly airy and light, and a hipness of timing that marks him out from many of his competitors on this crowded stage.
		Cullum's pledge to infuse jazz with rock and soul's urgency surfaces on a funky, guitar-wailing Singin' in the Rain, but it is less successful on I Could Have Danced All Night, with its Headhunters-like bass lick.

		Cullum was performing at Henry's Cellar Bar in Edinburgh in March 2003 - before he had signed his now infamous £1 million deal with Universal Records.
		Cullum is on the move a lot these days, and as enthusiastic as he is about being on the road, touring keeps him away from his friends and family.
		But Cullum insists he has nothing to prove and is unfazed by these comments because for him "mainstream", "easy listening" and "commercial" are not dirty words.

		Cullum credits his percussive approach to piano to his early love of rock 'n' roll.
		In the witty title cut, Cullum addresses the "quarter life crisis" he has noticed many of his overeducated and underemployed friends suffer from.

		Ben is still my main musical influence, and the most fun to write with.
		Jamie Cullum: Not at all the poppier sound is me being more in control and more adventurous at combining sounds and the jazz instinct never leaves me whether I'm playing Crazy In Love or Autumn Leaves.
		Jamie Cullum: We do have very different views sometimes, but that's the great thing about collaborations, you can steer each other down pathways you didn't know you could go down and creatively that can be inspiring and fresh.

		Taking pride of place with his ample piano skills and hopelessly romantic voice (he hasn't been dubbed "Sinatra in Sneakers" for nothing), he surrounds himself with live musicians to create an album that, as the title suggests, revives a number of past classics.
		While some would argue there's no point in revisiting the past yet again (acknowledged by Cullum in the title), Cullum's considered covers and new arrangements of songs like Warren and Burke's "Devil May Care", Thelonious Monk's "Well You Needn't" and Gershwin's "It Ain't Necessarily So" are justification in themselves.
		His own songwriting prowess (alongside that of his brother Ben) is showcased on the title track, which shows him more than capable of creating modern songs with a classic and timeless feel.

	audio reviews
		Cullum has tons of talent, and while he borrows from a wide range of influences in pop, rock and jazz, the end result is distinctive and irresistible.
		Cullum swings harder than the songstress but displays the same impeccable taste, performing tunes by Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, Cole Porter and Lerner and Loewe.
		Cullum’s expressive voice sounds a little too unvarnished and contemporary to call him a crooner, but he’s a stylish singer nonetheless.

		His mother is a music teacher and his brother Ben, previously mentioned, is also a highly respected and accomplished songwriter in his own right.

	Twentysomething Music at Shop Ireland
		His music is inspiring, it highlights the passion so missed in modern music.
		Amazingly, the songs written by Jamie and his brother, Ben, do not clash against the old classics of the album as amateur-like, indeed, they act as further demonstrations of their talent.
		It is clear that everyone involved in the production of the music has attempted to keep it 'real' as possible, and that familar spine-tingling feeling of a live gig is kept alive by the warmth and crispness of the sound.

	Jamie Cullum: These are the Days/Frontin \| Music \| Entertainment \| Gay.com UK (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Now, apparantly due to public demand, the track has been added to the single that will be released on March 8th, it will be a double a-sided single with “These Are The Days” plus a live version of the Radiohead classic “High And Dry” recorded at the Brecon Jazz Festival in August 03.
		This cover demonstrates his talent not only as an artist, but also as a performer and could be just the thing he needs ot propel him into the stellar mainstream.
		A shrewd move on the side of the record company, this will certainly garner Cullum more fans who would otherwise steer clear of the so-called wierd world of jazz that so many pop fans love to loathe.

	Plan 9 - Jamie Cullum : Catching Tales [CD & DVD] [Digipak] *
		Pianist and singer Jamie Cullum has been tagged as a new jazzbo, a Harry Connick, Jr.- type given to piano flurries and smooth crooning, when in truth he is a pop singer-songwriter much more in the mold of Ben Folds.
		It's true, however, that Cullum's piano playing can be jazz-inflected (especially on his solos), and his vocal lines can be nuanced, slinky, and interesting in ways that distinguish them from your run-of-the-mill popster.
		These touches add a nice shimmer, but it is Cullum's straightforward tunes, relaxed and confident vocals, and clever, literate lyrics that hold the listener's attention.

		His brother Ben has cowritten a number of tracks on this album, as he did on Twentysomething.
		Much of it reminds me of Billy Joel or Ben Folds, and that's a good thing, and there's a lot of Fender Rhodes electric piano, giving the CD a definite 70s r&b jazz feel.
		Cullum takes this feel-good romantic tune that's been covered by Cher, Bobby Darin, and Tony Joe White among others and gives a shimmering rendition that's perfect for a late night lovers' mix.
