Taking the lead from his ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² older brother Ben an 8 year Jamie took ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý up guitar, piano and eventually Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß singing. It wasnt untill deep into his A ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß Level studies where Jamie seemed to be ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ moving swiftly towards an academic ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² career, that he became frustrated with ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ the inability to concentrate on music. ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² He decided to take a year off to ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß continue teaching himself music and ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ develop his increasing interest in Jazz ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² Piano which his older brother was ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý fuelling with an introduction to Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß records by Oscar Peterson and Dave ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß Brubeck. A long stint of travelling and an ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ extended stay in Paris where Jamie not ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² only saw a massive amount of live music ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ but also started to play piano in ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² cafes and bars only strengthened this ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß desire. Returning to England Jamie ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ started playing piano in hotels and ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² weekly at a local Jazz pub whose regular ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý appearances encouraged him to learn Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß more tunes. It was only one week when he ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß ran out of tunes at the local pub that he ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ decided to sing and play the tune Do You ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Know What it Means to miss New Orleans ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ where he realised that he might have a ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² professional career. This first ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß piano/vocals moment lead to countless ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ meetings with influential local musicians ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² and Jamie started to appear prolifically ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý on a growing local Jazz scene learning Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß his craft with some of the most ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß experienced musicians in Britain. ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Despite these early successes including ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ many with cutting edge local pop and ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² hip-hop bands Jamie still decided to go ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß to University to study, initially ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ English Lit at Reading. Once again fate ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² seemed to steer Jamie towards something ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý more creative as he was offered a place Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß on the prestigious Film and Drama ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß course. A crossover seemed inevitable, and ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ soon Jamie was composing and performing ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² music for films and plays, also acting ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ and producing his own short films and ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² plays. Throughout his degree Jamie ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß still found time to develop his musical ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ career which saw moves into the Oxford ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² jazz scene and the beginnings of ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý appearances in London. Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß At only 19 Jamie decided it was time to ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ produce his own CD never for one minute ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² considering outside involovement - he ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ decided to fund and produce it himself ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² using his current Trio. The resulting ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß CD "Jamie Cullum Trio - Heard it all ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ Before" became something of a local ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² phenomenon and sold over 700 copies just ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý at Jamies gigs alone. It was normal for Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß him to regularly sell 50 + at pub ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß concerts. Jamie also began a relationship ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ with the Berkshire Youth Jazz Orchestra ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² now known as The Pendulum Big Band and ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ appeared with the band at The Brecon ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Jazz Festival and at concert halls ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß throughout England. It was through this ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ association that Jamie met world class ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² bass player Geoff Gascoyne. After ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý hearing him sing, Geoff asked Jamie to Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß appear on his album Songs of the Summer ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß with top class British Musicians Ben ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ Castle, Gareth Williams, Anthony Kerr ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² and Sebastiaan de Krom. ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Jamie Graduated from University in the ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß summer of 2001 and spent the following ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ three months travelling and playing in ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² Europe. Returning to England in ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý September, he moved into a flat in Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß London and set up a new trio featuring ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß Geoff Gascoyne and Sebastiaan de Krom. ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ Using funds raised from his last CD ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Jamie decided to record another album ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ with his new trio. Encouraged by ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Geoff, Jamie started to write horn ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß arrangements by ear and the album, which ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ would become Pointless Nostalgic was ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² expanded with tracks featuring a seven ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý piece band using the cream of Britains Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß brass talent. With the album in the bag ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß by Christmas 2001 Jamie decided to ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ concentrate on his other musical ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² projects whilst saving money to afford ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ to mix and master the album. It was ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² around this time that Jamie received an ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß email from Candid artist Clare Teal who ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ had bought a copy of Jamies first CD and ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² liking what she heard arranged a meeting ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý in her home town of Bath. Clare heard Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß the master takes from the new album and ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß inspired by what she heard, made it a ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ personal mission of hers to have Alan ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Bates of Candid Records have a serious ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ listen to what she believed to be a ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² major undiscovered talent. ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ Clares persistence soon paid off and ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² after a few listens to the new record ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý and a trip to see Jamie at the Salena Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Jones Jazz and Music Rooms, legendary ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß producer Alan Bates deicided to snap him ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ up within the week. With increased ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² funding Jamie recorded more material ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ for the album including the originals ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² I Want to be a Popstar and Pointless ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Nostalgic. Publicity from the Candid ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ Deal lead to Jamie being invited to ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² perform at 606 Club, Ronnie Scotts with ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý Geoff Gascoyne, Pizza Express Jazz Club Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß and other leading venues. With word out ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß on such a new, original talent Radio 2 and ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ BBC London soon got involved regularly ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² playing tracks from the unreleased ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ album and featuring interviews based ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² on their own belief that here was a ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß star in the making. ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² Michael Parkinson, hearing Pointless ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý Nostalgic began to champion Jamie on Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß his BBC Radio 2 show, regulalrly playing ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß tracks from the album. Then the big labels ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ started to take an interest, with both ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Universal and Sony in the picture at ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ one point. Universal won out ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² eventually, signing Jamie for a record ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß breaking one million pounds. Not a huge ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ amount in pop terms, but phenomenal for a ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² jazz artist. This figure is the amount ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý of money that Universal will spend Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß helping Jamie make albums over several ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß years although if you believed everything ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ you read at the time then it seemed that ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Jamie had suddenly gone overnight from ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ playing at smokey pubs, weddings and ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² anywhere else he could to having a ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß million pounds in the bank! ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² At the same time as this historic deal ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý was made Parkinson helped out some Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß more, inviting Jamie to perform on his ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß TV chat show.
