JC's Showcase

Jazzy Jamie  
 
I was at Aquadisiac at Wisma last Fri for Jamie Cullum's exclusive showcase in Asia.  It was simply awesome, i never knew jazz could be so appealing & welcomed by the young.
 
The crowd were mostly youngsters in their mid-20s, though there were groups of older crowd; but i dare say that the younger crowd definitely outnumbered them.  Young Jamie Cullum was so full of energy & friendly, he played the piano with soul & spiced it up with jazz & pop sound; simply irresistable.  It sounded so good that you could almost hear his songs over & over again.
 
The recent success of young jazz artistes like Michael Buble & Diana Krall may have paved the path for Jamie.  However, Jamie made his songs more interesting with an element of pop; probably that's why he's so well-received by both the young & old.
 
Anyway, Jamie's CD is what i have in my discman now..."I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain, what a glorious feeling; i'm happy again"....(JC -- Singin' in the Rain)
