I just Love Jamie Cullum! He's may favorite singer all times!!!!! He has the talent to transform any jazz/pop music into something brilliant....
This is one of the best CDs in its music area to have been released - ever. The music is variable in style and yet it all hangs together as a 'set' in the way Sinatra could produce 'Albums' with a theme. Cullum handles each song with total confidence and the arrangements are all perfect. If there is anything to dislike it would have to be a particular song that you, the listener, doesn't like rather than a fault with the treatment by Cullum. Why did I buy it? Because I missed it at the time it came out and will never miss another from Jamie. Thanks for a delightful CD, John
Jack Casady of the Jefferson Airplane once said "We want to make the music reach out like a big hand and grab you". I bought this after hearing the odd track on the radio - and it doesnt grab - its nice to have, Cullum and sidesmen make a kind of tasteful well done noise - perfect dinner party background, but it doesn't repay active listening. Good enough , happy I bought it, but not life changing
great jazzy disc.very loose and easy,leaning more towards earlier jazz sounds than catching tails ,which is also a must have. i have two twentysomething cds, one for the car, one for home.
The mix of tracks are such that regardless of this talented young mans preference for the 'jazz' style there is bound to be a number of tracks everyone with a like for true music will enjoy - love song, up-beat, jazz style, slow melodic - they are all here - I dont know if this was his 1st or 2nd album, but it is a gem a mini classic. His later stuff is just as good but this cuts the way and sets a standard thats hard to match endlessly and for some artists - it is something they can only hope to aspire to.
