Twentysomething

Product Information

I think curation still feels like something to be celebrated. I can say that as a fan of Gilles Peterson, his knowledge, curiousity, his undimmed energy for a scene he has had a huge influence on creating – it feeds me. I’m interested in his opinion and his taste as it feels completely authentic. As the world becomes more automated, people like Gilles with his immeasurable knowledge, experience and enthusiasm are bright shining stars. Reviewers lined up to praise the album on its first release, with the revered jazz critic John Fordham writing in The Guardian: “Cullum’s virtues are a remarkable relaxation (which makes music-making, even in a sophisticated studio recording, sound like fun to him), a youthful bounce that makes his work engagingly airy and light, and a hipness of timing that marks him out from many of his competitors.”

To celebrate the launch of his first pure jazz album, Cullum played at several jazz clubs, including Blue Note Jazz Club in New York, and London's Ronnie Scott's.

I am a largely self taught musician, but during COVID, I started studying music properly with a university professor and have been hugely inspired by that. Seeing how things I developed instinctively actually fit together is mind blowing. I’m inspired by going into things as deeply as possible – songs, books, great movies, lyrics, poetry, chord sequences, bebop solos – the deeper you go the more interesting things seems to get.
