From Jazz FM:

I caught up with Jamie Cullum at the Albert Hall before his Jazz Prom show – we chatted about ten feet away from his piano seat in a lovely little box, as you can see from the photo. And what a charming chap he was too. He admitted to being a tad nervous at performing in such prestigious surroundings but you’d never have known it – he was warm and chatty. And this guy absolutely loves music.

You can listen to the full interview in two parts here:

Must Be The Music’s semi-final acts have made an immediate impact on the iTunes chart.

The five artists who performed on Sunday’s first live semi-final made their tracks available to download immediately after the show ended.

Duo Pepper & Piano, who were voted into the final, have had the most success with their self-penned track ‘You Took My Heart’, which is currently at number four on iTunes.

The song, which has been backed by Lily Allen on Twitter, is also expected to score high on the official midweek charts, which are revealed later today.

Writing yesterday on Twitter, popstar Allen said: “Pepper and Piano seem to be No.7 in iTunes chart today. Very good news, let’s get it to No.1.”

Daithi, who will also take part in the grand final, hip-hop group Flo Dem and electro outfit Legion of Many are also currently in the iTunes Top 100 chart. All money raised by the sales of tracks goes directly to the artists.

Must Be The Music’s second live semi-final airs next Sunday at 7pm on Sky1.

The first of a two-part special in which Jamie visits Hollywood actor, director and producer Clint Eastwood at his production studio in LA, the place where he records the scores for his films.

Clint talks about the humorous side of jazz and how that has changed over the years, about the clubs he used to visit in his youth and about the legendary artists he would go to see perform, or even mingle with as well as his time in the army and the musicians he met there.

In a warm, personal interview, we see Clint Eastwood from a different angle, reunited with Jamie who he worked with on the soundtrack for Gran Torino, and talking passionately about the music he loves.
