It's jazz songs that have always made me want to learn how to play the piano (besides Muse songs of course). Jamie Cullum's style of jazz perfectly resemble what I would do if I had mad piano skills, a blend of jazz, with rock and pop.
His performance at the esplanade brought back old memories (from songs such as twenty something and all at sea) as well as new aspirations and inspiration about jazz music in general.
His candid words about how he should not be playing twenty something anymore (as he's 31 this year) and how he was listening to the jungle book when composing "you and me are gone" was probably the cause of the weird messy beat made us the audience feel as though we were watching a friend jam in front of us. It was great!
I did enjoy all his covers from Radiohead's High and Dry (sung my heart out), Hoagy Carmichael's "I get along without you very well", Rihanna's "Please don't stop the music", "Singing in the rain" from that musical film and Arthur Hamilton's "Cry me a river" (the original version for Ella Fitzgerald) remixed with the bass line from Justin Timberlake's version, kudos to the double-bass player.
