Cullum, Jamie - Pointless Nostalgic (CD) |-

Jamie Cullum quickly became a household name with this, his award winning 2002 debut album. With a mischievous and lighthearted approach that has become his calling card, it endeared him to jazzophiles and pop fans alike. And with it’s infectious blend of jazz standards, American songbook classics, original compositions, and hip contemporary covers, Pointless Nostalgic went straight to the top of the charts and demanded attention. Cullum hops from Gershwin to Radiohead to Thelonious Monk with equal verve and accomplishment. The closing number, Cullum’s own composition, “I Want to Be a Popstar” is a playful rumination on the advantages of being a pop star rather than a jazz key pounder. This album has been remastered by legendary mastering engineer Bernie Grundman.
