The Pianoman at Christmas is the ninth studio album by British jazz musician Jamie Cullum, released through Island on 20 November 2020.
Our ears seem ready from December onwards for big bands, huge orchestras, beautiful chord changes and focused, timeless lyrics.
So I set myself the task to try and write ten, original Christmas songs that used these skills and obsessions to create something uncynical and adventurous, full of the joys and complexities of the season, that could be something you feel like reaching for every year.
I have been so lucky that every corner of this record has been touched by the world’s best – from the legendary Studio 2 at Abbey Road, to the engineers, the arrangers, the producer and mixer.
I hope the care, attention to detail and sheer joy that we put into this record will bring a little magic this Christmas.
