Jamie Cullum - In The Mind Of

Compiled by Jamie Cullum, multi million selling internationally renowned jazz man this is Jamie Cullum’s first ever compilation project. An exciting glimpse into the diverse musical mind of a modern day jazz genius. Includes two entirely exclusive new tracks from the man who single-handedly re-invented the jazz genre for the masses, a Jamie Cullum original composition plus a new classic jazz cover. Covering the diverse jazz spectrum from modern through dance to hip-hop, this is “jazz not jazz”.

Born in Essex and raised in Wiltshire, Jamie Cullum was obsessed with all types of music from an early age - rock, hip-hop, folk, dance, acid jazz, blues. He discovered straight ahead jazz as a teenager, through artists like Herbie Hancock, Charles Mingus and Miles Davis, but also showed an interest in the groundbreaking Steely Dan albums purchased by his brother Ben, who now co-writes much of Jamie’s original material. While studying English at college Jamie immersed himself in the various offerings of the UK dance scene and began working as a singer-pianist anywhere he could get a gig - on cruise ships, in pubs, even wedding receptions, crafting his explosive on-stage persona which captures and enthralls audiences world-wide today.

With over 2.5 million albums sold to date and over 100 festival, stadium and concert hall gigs a year for the last three, including a 75,000 head-line performance in the grounds of Blenheim Palace, Jamie Cullum is undoubtedly a jazz phenomenon. Regularly covering a huge selection of artists and genres in his live show, he jumped at the chance to express his influences in the second “In the mind of” album.

Jamie Cullum continues to redefine where the parameters of pop and jazz – indeed, all musical genres – are drawn, both on stage and while working on his new album. "People ask why I play jazz. It's because you can take it to so many different places. You can embrace dance music, rock, pop music, classical, funk, everything… And I touch on all those things in this record. This CD feels like a fantasy resumé,” says Cullum, “or a mix tape I would make for a great friend or a really hot girl.”
