Title: JAZZ?..I DON'T THINK SO.
Review: Over here in the U.K Jamie Cullum is regarded as the saviour of jazz. Spoke of in awe by trendy magazines who wouldn't know a real jazz album if it crawled up and bit them. Firstly, he isn't jazz. It masquerades under that name in order to make jazz trendy and saleable. The guy is an uninspired pianists who would struggle to keep up with proper jazz musicians, his interpetations are bland, background music and do we really need more cover versions of jazz classics? When i had the misfortune to hear this i couldn't believe how dull it really was-it makes Kenny G seemed the natural succesor to John Coltrane. The saddest thing is gifted young jazz musicians struggle to make a living whilst this dross sells millions. Nostaglia?..don't think so, Pointless?..deffinately. Jazz Pianist?.. Monk would be turning in his grave.
