Product Description

From the Label
Jamie Cullum returns to centrestage of the Jazz crossover world with an incredible new album, Catching Tales. A smorgasbord of jazz standards, pop, swing and r&b grooves, this is the ultimate Jamie Cullum album. Jamie has collaborated with a range of music svengalis, including Guy Chambers, Dan the Automator (from The Gorillaz and collaborations with DJ Shadow), Salaam Remi, Ed Harcourt and many more, but he's careful not to forget his roots and his brother Ben has co-written a number of tracks on this album, as he did on Twentysomething.

CD Description
'Catching Tales' is the anticipated second album from jazz revivalist Jamie Cullum. Written in less than four months and featuring collaborations with Dan The Automator, Ed Harcourt, and The Neptunes to name but a few, the album features ten original tracks penned by Cullum himself, and also features a handful of jazz standards and covers. The lead single 'Get Your Way' is also included.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good - but dont expect a 'jazz' album!, 16 April 2006
By Danny C (yorkshire) - See all my reviews
I bought this after finding Cullum's two previous outings proving now to be a little tiresome. As good a pianist as he is, he never seemed quite right playing those standards. Slick, yes, but for real jazzers there simply wasn't enough 'proper jazz' in them to be essential albums.

This album is his best yet - but it would be a bit of a fallacy to call it jazz. The strength here is the songwriting and standout tracks are the well-known and sassy 'Get your Way'; the characterful and swinging 'Nothing I Do'; the soulful 'My Yard' and of course the lovely ballad 'I'm Glad there is You'.

Cullum has found an original voice here so lets hope he can continue in this vein and break-away from jazz-marketed-as-popular-music, which we all know VERY rarely works for anything more than one album. Oh, and the CD is very nicely produced too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome New Album, 27 Sep 2005
By Robert Hedge (Horncastle, Lincs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Catching Tales is an album that shows just what a musician Jamie Cullum is. His own songs, and there are more than on his other album, are really great. His arrangements of 'I only have eyes for you' and 'Our day will come' are, in my opinion, the best. I am not really a fan of jazz, but I am a true fan of Jamie; his voice and obvious passion for this music is exciting and this CD is just pure joy to listen to

4.0 out of 5 stars Jamie fan from the states torn over new cd., 5 Oct 2005
Let me first start out saying that I am a HUGE Jamie fan...and I mean, seriously. My admiration for him as a musician and performer are real and genuine, mostly due to the fact I am a musician and performer myself. He has remained the only artist, outside the musical theatre genre, that I have really fallen in love with whole-heartedly. With that said, I must give a little "eh" to his new CD. Granted, I do love his quirky jazzy antics like the next guy/girl, but I think this CD is a bit over-produced...in some songs there is so much "funky" things and weird instrumentation going on, I think it really steals a lot from Jamie's lyrics and musicianship. The thing that almost gave me a coronary was "I only have eyes for you"...it sounds like a 70's porn soundtrack...with one of my most favorite standards thrown on top. Now again, I promise you I am a Jamie fan through and through...but it really makes me upset cause I adore almost every single track 100% in TWENTYSOMETHING. Now, a lot of things are growing on me (like GET YOUR WAY, CATCH THE SUN, LONDONG SKIES)...and OH GOD is personally one of my favorites, besides a more "classic" Jamie-ized FASCINATIN' RHYTHM. Now, hopefully I will get to see him do some of these songs on tour, and who knows maybe I will like them...but for right now, I am kinda forcing myself to listen to some of the songs...like OUR DAY WILL COME and the HAWAIIAN background synthesized intro...I miss the TWENTYSOMETHING Jamie a bit, and I'm curious if anyone feels the same way. I'm all about him taking risks, but find a lot of this CD random and weird...anyway, sorry for the diatribe...this Bloody American just has strong feelings about Jamie Cullum and his music.
