"Let me tell you, I bought this CD few months ago in England (I am from Italy) just listening to it in a music store and soon felt in love with it. It is somehting new to me, a mix of jazz and new wave sound. Some covers and some stuffs of his own! incredible for being only 23.
Then, 2 weeks ago he came to play live in Rome. I went to see him and I was so pleasantly surpirsed for the way he plays live. Much better live than in studio! He plays the piano with aggressive talent! and plays evry song in such a good way. This musician comes directly to my heart when playng! At the end of the concert the 70 people stood up for a standing ovation! well done Jamie.
Waiting for your next work!!!
If you wann follow me in this world.....buy this item! it worths listening to. At least, give a chance and won't be disappointed...."

"The guy who posted on Feb 7 doesn't know what he's talking about. It sounds like he just downloaded it off some peer-to-peer program where there are many downloadable songs of Jamie's. Mind you, all of them are looped to deter anybody who's too cheap to actually go out and buy it themselves. If you're confused by his music, try actually buying it. I shouldered the import price, but it was worth it. It's music that anybody (Jazz Aficionados or Teeny Boppers, alike) can appreciate and enjoy."
Jamie Cullum is great!

"I got the chance to see him perform live in London. The whole CD is awesome. Very jazz. My favorite track is All at Sea. Go check him out. His CD comes out in May in the US."

"I was recently on holiday in London and saw a commercial advertising the Twentysomething CD. The next day while touring around I bought it...what an awesome find! This CD is great! You should definitely add it to your collection."
