As for the venue, I'd never been to the Agora before, and it really is kind of a neat place. Seemily old (yet est. 1966??), kind on the outskirts of the commericial downtown area, but big on the inside. It had a big dance floor area in front of the stage with no seats, and tiered rows behind with seats and tables. There were little veranda balconies to each side of the stage, and a full upstairs balcony. It seems to fit the kind of the music that is played there, indie and harder rock, typically. It was nice to be among indie rock fans again, it's been a while! I love being places where it's not really hip to be blonde. It was definitely a brunette night out. All the little indie college kids with their indie outfits and crazy hats make for good concert goers. They are hip, excited to be there, ready to dance and friendly. Definitely a change from the Pittsburgh Jamie Cullum show (eccentric rich white peoples love their jazz..). [source]
- Parkinson’s endorsement is no guarantee of success: for instance, despite all the airplay for the clean-cut American singer-pianist Peter Cincotti, his last album achieved disappointing sales. A promising, if slightly airbrushed talent, Cincotti had the misfortune to arrive on the scene at roughly the same time as the more rumbustious Jamie Cullum. Most purists loathe the young man from the West Country; much of his material, it has to be said, is closer to pop than jazz. But, at his best, the mischievous showman at least reminds us that, during its most productive years, jazz was an integral part of the entertainment industry. [source]
mention Jamie Cullum. I have a back log of information so bear with me.

- It was my first Jamie Cullum concert, and it definitely wont be my last. It was at the Wiltern LG. The stage was so freakin high. It went up to my nose. But Jamie was so amazing. He came out with Photograph which was amazing. I absolutely love his voice. The photographs on the back screen were too cute. He was so adorable as a child. Get Your Way was next, and I absolutely love that song. Jamie was so cute doing his little dance. I dont know the order of songs after that, but the whole concert was awesome. I loved the way he talked to the audience. He even had us participating on some songs. On Twentysomething, which is one of my favorite songs, he had us do the bada dada, or somethin like that. It was awesome. Then they threw out kazoos and we participated on These Are The Days. I dont think mine worked, or I wasnt doing it right. Anyways, it was still awesome. [source]
- Talking Head 1: [female] Jamie Cullum really like, for so long,was jazz I mean he was amazing. He just really you know, played what he wanted, didn't care who it offended, you know, really stuck it to the Jazz... Man. It... was a shame what happened. [source]
- Yet given the commercial success of pop-jazz artist Jamie Cullum, the vitality of outfits such as F-IRE Collective and the Vortex, and the bustling jazz activity in music conservatoires, is that a fair perception? [source]
- And last one.....because I went to 3 really fun concerts this year....in the order of dates I went to Backstreet Boys, Jamie Cullum and then Jason Mraz...I can't decide if I enjoyed JM or JC better....they were so good.
I loved BSB because I felt like I was a 12 year old teenybopper again so that was fun but in terms of the artist being incredibly talented and me just standing/sitting there with my jaw on the floor ... I can't decide Jason and Jamie cause they are both disgustingly talented .... [source]
- Jamie Cullum - Catching Tales
di Album kedua Boy Wonder ini, mencoba menyuguhkan alirannya dengan sentuhan warna yang bervariatif. Cukup enak didengarkan. Just try them all....[source]
- It’s time for the singer / songwriter cover rounds with Rufus Wainwright’s cover of the classic Beatles track Across The Universe, and Jamie Cullum’s cover of Everlasting Love. [source]
- I saw Jamie Cullum performing on a morning TV show the other day, and his style just caught my attention. Maybe it was the way he pounded a rhythm out on the piano, in between the melodic parts in the song. He kind of reminds me of Billy Joel, but he is definitely marching to a different drummer!

- The last time I felt that good watching anything was the Jamie Cullum concert back in Singapore. The experience is surreal – it invigorates you and reinstates your faith in the world, regardless of how dismal it is. I’m happy that there’s such brilliance out there – the knowledge that there are things out there that could possibly alter your perspective of the world, for the better, when you need it, is comforting. It gives me something to believe in. Maybe I’m overreacting. But it’s the only thing I’ve been listening to lately. Every night before I go to sleep, I listen to the entire album once through, regardless of how late it is or how much work I have yet to do. It’s an addiction. It washes away my pains and loneliness for that time, and purges me of all my worries and fears. [source]
She opened her hugely successful gallery 20 years ago. Singer Tony Bennett has twice chosen it to exhibit his paintings with the private view last year attracting luminaries such as Bill Wyman and Jamie Cullum. [source]

The 40-year-old stage-lighting designer and technician was on a European tour in August, with renowned jazz singer and pianist Jamie Cullum, when he began to feel unwell.
His wife, Yvonne, explained: "Although Andy was very confused, he was able to fulfill most of his work on the tour. He finally became too confused to carry on and returned home. My main concern was to get him to the hospital to see what the problem was. [source]

It's the time of year when it gets cold and the rain is swishing around on the roads and gathering into enormous grey puddles that splash all over the sidewalks and mingle with the seawater the waves have landed on the shore. But I don't mind, 'cause inside my car, the heating is on and Jamie Cullum's mellow voice sooths the air, my windscreen wipers are on full blast, and I feel warm and safe in a island of mobile warmth and cosiness.[source]

And as far as timelines go, we went AU after Revolution. Right. Now that that shameless bit of plugging and come-play-with-us! is done... Tonight's Jamie Cullum, and I'm driving home with the parents for the weekend. And I should go pack before I head to my Shakespeare class. Meh. But! Jamie Cullum! [source]
John Legend sounds almost as old school as Jamie Cullum on his sophomore set "Once Again," (G.O.O.D Music/Sony, B+). The Penn grad evokes the spirits of Sam Cooke, Burt Bacharach and (on the groupie tale "Stereo") Sting with the Police. [source]

In any case, the walk in Oslo was refreshing. I was listening to a Jamie Cullum and the atmosphere was unreal: walking through Oslo on a dog's day listening to Mr. Cullum somehow gets your daily wear&tear to the minimum. As a proof of this statement, my neck, which was stiff since I opened eyes this morning, is like the old one - I can move my head in all directions without screaming! Moral of the story? Whenever you have a stiff neck, listen to Mr. Cullum -and/or- take a long stroll. [source]

It was through Sybil, I believe, that I first learned of Jamie Cullum back in March. I'd seen some references to him in the British magazines I read, but other than knowing he was short, the lad magazines generally referred to him as "pixy," which to me showed, especially now, an unpleasant level of talent "envy" on their part, they did not get into reviewing his musical ability. Given that Sybil tends to follow musical talents based on the lead singer's raw sexual appeal and the number of tattoos they have, I was surprised at what I heard. [source]

I'm writing this in the midst of preparing to depart for our tour of Europe with Jamie Cullum. I have the nuts, banana chips, Propolis throat sweets, CDs, books, and practice materials all packed! We have only done a few shows in Europe, and never what could be called a tour, so getting to play to thousands of new people a night will be fookin awesome. [source]
