Jamie Cullum or the Art of the Moment
Christian Soleil
Jamie Cullum doesn't just play jazz-he reinvents it with every note. A pianist with fiery fingers, a singer whose voice moves from whisper to storm, an instinctive improviser, he dances across genres with the elegance of a tightrope walker-blending Broadway standards, pop rhythms, and the pulse of a British youth raised on vinyl and boldness.
In this vibrant and intimate portrait, Christian Soleil delves into the journey of an artist who defies labels. From stage to studio, from silences to applause, he explores Jamie Cullum's singular ability to inhabit the present moment, to turn each performance into a fleeting miracle, and to capture the beauty of the ephemeral.
This is the story of a musician who doesn't strive to impress but to move. Behind the charm of the modern crooner lies a deeper pursuit: that of sincerity, of the right vibration, of the true moment.
A book for jazz lovers, yes-but more than that, for anyone who craves to be surprised, stirred, uplifted. Just as we always are by Jamie Cullum.
