Jamie Cullum expands 'The Pianoman At Christmas' album

Singer, songwriter, and pianist Jamie Cullum announces The Pianoman At Christmas – The Complete Edition, a deluxe repack of his 2020 holiday album which is due out Nov. 19 via Blue Note Records in the U.S. and Island Records elsewhere.

The new release completes last year’s part 1 with a 13-track part 2 that features 11 covers of classic Christmas songs, as well as 2 festive original songs including the lead single “Christmas Don’t Let Me Down,” which is out now.

The Complete Edition sees Jamie team up with London innovators Kansas Smitty’s, composer and producer The Vernon Spring, and LA-based singer Lady Blackbird to complete a piece of work that is imbued with seasonal sophistication. Alongside his two original tracks, Jamie tackles classics like “Winter Wonderland,” “Silent Night,” “Frosty The Snowman,” and “Sleigh Ride.”

“I had a huge amount of fun creating part 2 of The Pianoman At Christmas,” said Cullum. “Recorded live, all in the room together - it’s the party after the big show, with friends, drinks and some of the finest musicians on planet earth.”

Released almost a year to the day before The Complete Edition is due out, The Pianoman At Christmas featured 11 original songs recorded in Abbey Road’s famous Studio 2 and produced by Greg Wells (The Greatest Showman).

It followed the 2019 release Cullum’s 9th studio album, and most introspective work, Taller. With more 10 million album sales to date, the celebrated musician has loyal fans in every corner of the globe. Over the course of a career spanning over 20 years, he’s worked alongside artists as diverse as Herbie Hancock, Pharrell Williams, and Kendrick Lamar. The success of Jamie’s major label breakthrough, Twentysomething in 2003 and its follow up Catching Tales saw him nominated for a BRIT, GRAMMY and numerous other awards around the world. In addition to his recording career, Cullum has also established himself as a multi-award-winning music broadcaster on BBC Radio 2 with The Jazz Show.
