Jamie Cullum Biography
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, Jamie Cullum Trio -- 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 followed in 2005.
