Five on Friday - Jamie Cullum
Posted: Friday, January 26, 2007 by Travis Cody inThere's been a lot of music posted the last few days. I do something I like to call Tuesday Tunes, where I select a genre and post some of my favorites. I was going to save this artist for next Tuesday. I was going to do Friday Facts today. But one of his songs played randomly on my Ipod during my drive home last night, and I just had to share today.
I've posted about this young man in other places. He is a talented singer/songwriter and a wonderful musician. He also has a tremendous respect for classic standards, and the ability to interpret them that makes them fresh and accessible. Just listen.
Yes, the title of this post is Five on Friday. But it's my blog and Jamie is one of my favorite artists. So I am exercising my royal authority as King of this Blog Space. I now offer two bonus tracks, so you can understand Jamie's grasp of and respect for the standards.

Hey, thanks for the tracks. We're big fans of Harry Connick and Michael Buble and I'm liking what I hear so far.
