Hi fans, note!

Go here, click 'Music', and click 'More' for album 'Twenty something'.

Does anybody else have this album? I'd never heard of the guy until I
saw him on BBC Four. I was amazed by how natural and mature his voice
is given his years, and also by his ability to totally own the piano.

All analogue this recording--up until the CD bit, of course--and it
sounds really, really good for it. And wow, what great music. No one
so young should be this talented.

IMO he's over-hyped. "good-enough-for-jazz" voice and a reasonably
accomplished pianist, but nothing special. I can name off the top of my head
10 jazz piano players in Britain more original and interested than Cullum.
