Performance Notes | Straddling the boundaries of jazz, pop and rock, Jamie Cullum returns for another Late Night Prom after his sell-out appearance in 2010. This time, backed by the Roundhouse Choir and Heritage Orchestra, he offers his own take on a collection of pop songs, in the spirit of The Song Society Cullums project to create fast and loose covers of favourite tracks. He brings the same approach of new discovery both to his use of the wide array of instruments available and to exploring the distinctive space of the Royal Albert Hall.
Broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 2. Recorded for future broadcast on BBC Four on 26 August 2016.
The event ended with three standing ovations for Jamie Cullum and ensemble. |
