As I was searching the web for upcoming albums, I thought of one of my favorite jazz pianists/vocalists. His name is Jaime Cullum and he will be releasing his fourth album “The Pursuit” March 2, 2010 on the Verve Forecast label. “The Pursuit” was already released in other countries back in October/November of 2009 but it’s coming to the U.S/Canada on March 2, 2010. When the album is released, the buyer will have two options: 1) get the standard cd with 12 tracks on it   2) get the deluxe cd/dvd edition which will include:
1) Extra tracks Gran Torino and Grace is Gone (CD) 
2) Video footage from the North Sea and Montreux Jazz Festivals (DVD)
3) Video footage of Jamie recording with the Count Basie Orchestra (DVD)
4) An interview with Greg Wells (Producer of The Pursuit) (DVD)
5) Audio commentary on the album from Jamie himself (DVD)

If any of you Whargarlers have never heard Jaime Cullum’s music before, you can listen to tracks of his upcoming album here:
