Further to what I said before I’d also like to say that it really keeps me inspired and humbled. It’s a little like scheduling in proper listening. It’s so easy to do things like listening, in a scattered way, especially now some of the music streaming services are actively trying to be more like TikTok. It goes against how I feel about listening to music which is: if the music is good, you will be rewarded by deeper listening. By doing that dive, listening every week, preparing a playlist of old and new and then presenting it on the radio, you’re constantly aware of what’s out there and how good music can be. As a songwriter and performer myself it’s a reminder of how hard you have to work and where the bar is. It keeps things fresh and exciting. Also, I love that the jazz show is on Radio 2. Often you capture an audience with really unusual and challenging music that aren’t necessarily seeking that experience like perhaps a 6 music listener would be. It’s a harder job, but I find it really rewarding. Cullum was born in Rochford, Essex, [4] but was brought up in Hullavington, Wiltshire.

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 on this crowded stage. Twentysomething is also very shrewdly produced (by George Benson and BB King producer Stewart Levine) to keep the more luxurious of additional instruments (strings, flutes, horn ensembles) in a subtly supportive role that always leaves Cullum's forthright, unadorned and already characterful voice way out in front. Similar to Twentysomething, which has "Made in Germany by EDC" in the matrix, but comes with a different booklet.The traditional twentieth anniversary gift is china – a few plates, maybe a cup and saucer or two. Modernists apparently prefer platinum, which seems like a far more appropriate way to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Jamie Cullum’s Twentysomething, first released in October 2003 and now extended and re-released in double LP format. 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. Well ideally, you want both collaborators to end up being an even more interesting proposition than they would be alone, or at least a different, equal proposition! That’s speaking as a listener. As a creator, I was always look to learn as much as possible from someone else’s process and come away with something I couldn’t have created otherwise.
