day 15: a song that describes you



Thank Jeebus for Ashley who introduced me to Jamie Cullum in 2004 after we graduated high school. His Twentysomething album remains a favorite after all these years, and I look forward to every concert of his: he's a wee man who can scat and play the piano with his ass. His covers always impressed me too. He has the gall to replace the Jimi Hendrix's guitar with horns in "Wind Cries Mary" and sings with as much soul as Jimi does. Both Ashley and I think his performance of this song was the first instance of an audience rushing the stage at Carnegie Hall.

Sorry I spoke about "Wind Cries Mary" rather than "Twentysomething," but the latter speaks for itself in today's category.
