Undeniable fact: Jazz piano players can literally crop up anywhere……

JAMIE CULLUM

Cullum reports on his Twitter page today that he has just landed in Addis Ababa (famous for its blue Lada taxis above) , working with UNICEF. Sounds like the start of an adventure….

GWILYM SIMCOCK

Simcock is doing high-profile gigs, e.g. performing his piano concerto with the NDR Big Band in Bremen this weekend in the closing gig of Jazzahead.

But you will also find him….on this Myspace page…..with a singer Gracie Patton who seems to have sadly died in Indiana in 1998. Uh?
