2 Generations of Jazz
Monday, December 19, 2005 at 12:08 Yesterday evening I saw one of the best concerts I have ever seen: Jamie Cullum live at Forest National. Why ? Not only because this young man is a Jazz genius but even more so because he and his band give themselves 200% during a 3 hour concert...
He is humble, he is like "the guy next doors" and he is "true" when he is there on stage, slapping his piano or singing a cappella in the midst of the public.
The best moment was when he told us he had a surprise....
Toots Thielemans (84), our 
national Jazz hero, came on stage and started jamming with young Jamie (27).
national Jazz hero, came on stage and started jamming with young Jamie (27). There I was, witnessing 2 generations of top Jazz talent, getting along like grandfather and son, playing amazingly beautiful duets and improvising like only Jazz men can. A moment never to forget.
Proof that music binds us all and that some rhythms are universal.
