Jazz singer and pianist Jamie Cullum plays the 606 Club 50th Anniversary Special, with founder Ian Shaw introducing the night.
Jamie Cullum returns to the 606 Club on Tuesday 13 October, part of the club's 50th Anniversary celebrations. It's a full-circle moment: Cullum played his first trio gig here on Wednesday 12 June 2002, when he was in his early twenties and earned £40 for the night. He spent the following year as a regular, with the club's founder, Ian Shaw, sitting in on flute.
Shaw opens the evening by recalling how they first met — Cullum thrusting a self-made CD at him. By 2003, record company people were turning up to hear him play, and he grew from a local regular into a world-class act. He's one of the most successful UK jazz artists of all time, a singer and pianist with a Grammy, two Golden Globes, two GQ Man of the Year awards, three Brits, and three Sony Radio awards, and more than 10 million albums sold worldwide.
It's a long way from that first £40 gig, but the 606 is where it all started. The night is billed as a 606 Club 50th Anniversary Special, so the connection between the room and the artist is a good part of the evening. Cullum takes the stage as a singer and pianist, the same combination he's worked with since those early trio dates.
