I thought at first read you meant Jamie Cullum... Have you heard him play? There's an outstanding live DVD of a concert at Blenheim Palace in England out on Verve Records. Watch it if you can... I truly believe none of his CD's has captured more than 50% of what he can do. The boy can smoke!
God is in the details...
Diki ... yes, he can ... but I saw him live at the Newport Jazz Festival a couple of years ago, and while singing "I get a kick out of you" he would KICK the keybed at the "appropriate" (?) time ... then he stood on the piano bench and would run his bare feet (he was barefoot for his whole show) up and down the keys ... If a piano player can't show respect for a Steinway Grand Piano, what can he show respect for? ... He turned me off ...
