English singer and pianist Jamie Cullum, the whizz-kid, has climbed up onto the grand piano and now sings and dances up there. He will do a great jump down - in a second.. He is a wizard of jazz with an immense powerful charisma. On stage he acts like unchained, like driven by his hyperactivity. He really rocked the audience and shifted to chaotic full speed. Of course this was way too much for the little snapshoot-box, I had borrowed. My Lumix was still "under arrest". Here is a video taken that night. Jamie "plays" piano - "Don't let me be misunderstood": www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkxLT6hO6kE

English singer and pianist Jamie Cullum, the hyperactive whizz-kid, started with his song "The Same Thing", just like in Marciac the year before. He is a wizard of jazz with an immense powerful charisma. He starts to sing, he beats the drums and within seconds anybody is jumping in the rhythm. " It's just the same things that we don't know - It's just the same things, it's the same things.." Of course this was way too much for the little snapshoot-box, I had borrowed. My Lumix was still under arrest.. Here is the song, Jamie performing in Barcelona just a few days later: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wAiX2Ew3Nw

Actually not all cameras were banned at the Nice Jazz Festival (see previous upload). My friend´s small snapshot-camera was allowed in without any question. So could use this. Before the concerts started, Jamie Cullum was interviewed in the backstage area. In 2015 Jamie was the official "Godfather of the Nice Jazz Festival". I am sure, he did not know, that my camera was in custody - and I could not tell him...

Marciac, founded as a bastide in 1298, is a small, sleepy town, that in the month of August each year since 1978, changes into the "Capital of Jazz". A true metamorphosis. "Jazz in Marciac" is one of the leading Jazz-festivals in Europe with way more than 200.000 visitors each year. During this time, there is no soccer in Marciac, as the sports-ground is occupied by the "CHAPITEAU", a huge tent with a capacity of about 5000. -- English singer and pianist Jamie Cullum was for me the biggest musical surprise of the summer. He danced on the stage, like unchained, driven by hyperactivity. He really rocked the audience and shifted to chaotic full speed. After a few minutes, nobody was seated any longer. As I was totally unprepared for this kind of explosion, I had to gasp for breath. Jamie Cullum clearly has the highest level of PPI (Power Per Inch) I have ever witnessed. He acted on stage like a human bouncy ball. This was just incredible. I climbed on the grand piano, jumped down, hopped from the stage... After about an hour Jamie Cullum he invited the audience to abandon the seats and to dance in the aisles and in front of the stage. "If you all come now, the security guys can´t stop you." This marked the end of the concert and the begin of multiple encores. Here is a nice video taken in Marciac, it even has the first minutes of the concert.
