Sat 11 Nov 2009In pursuit of Jazziness

EVEN THOUGH HE’S now all of 30 years of age, you’d still ask Jamie Cullum for ID before you served him a drink. His boyish facial characteristics spill over into a boyish enthusiasm for music. While nominally a jazz musician, he has no problem playing around with different musical forms: in the past he has covered songs by Radiohead, The White Stripes, Joy Division and even Rihanna.
