Jamie Cullum
I am exhausted from a big push at work and forgot to post a couple of updates here. The first was a concert by Jamie Cullum here in Chicago at Park West. He is a new face from England who sings with all the tones of a jazz singer, reworking recent classics like Radiohead's High and Dry. It was a departure from my typical Tuesday night schedule of working late and heading to the Old Town School for my guitar lesson.
It was worth skipping class for and the supporting act, David Ryan Harris was good too. We started listening to Jamie Cullum based on an iTunes playlist Melissa had come across but ever since then I've been spreading the word. In addition to the Radiohead cover he covered Jeff Beck's "Lover you should've come over" and Sinatra's "Singing in the Rain". I got a cheezy pic with my camera phone but it's not worth the trouble since my LG phone takes crap pictures in the dark. If the pic had come out as planned, you would be looking at a picture of Jamie playing the piano with his head. Not your typical Jazz singer!
