My Take
Jamie Cullum is, to me, one of the great gateways into jazz. A Reading graduate who plays with the unbuttoned energy of a rock star, he dragged the genre off its pedestal and made it feel young and physical again, leaping onto pianos and folding pop and rock instincts into a tradition that can feel intimidating. With nine studio albums and a long radio career, he has been remarkably consistent without ever sounding stale. I value artists who honour their roots while refusing to be precious about them. His warmth and sheer stage energy make him someone I'd happily see live again and again.
