JAMIE CULLUM LIVE AND EXCLUSIVE FOR THE MAX SESSIONS

This May, MAX presents the premiere of The MAX Sessions featuring UK Jazz Pop sensation Jamie Cullum. Jamie was at his charismatic best when he recorded an unforgettable show for an intimate MAX audience at Sydney's State Theatre.

Screening Saturday 20 May 5.30pm [EST], The MAX Sessions featuring Jamie Cullum showcases one of Britains most successful jazz artist of all time as you have never seen him before. Jamie revelled in the intimate environment and delivered a mesmerising show bursting with passionate energy.

Performing tracks from his smash-hit debut album "Twentysomething" and his stellar follow up "Catching Tales", Jamie took the audience on an international journey with songs inspired by his home town of London which included his brilliant carnivale rendition of his classic track "London Tales".

The Max Sessions host Chit Chat got up close and personal with Jamie, digging the dirt on his early days as a cruise ship singer and his love of Vegemite. Audience members were also given the chance to ask Jamie their burning questions, where he chatted frankly about his musical influences and inspirations.

Don't miss The Max Sessions with Jamie Cullum premiering on MAX Saturday 20 May at 5.30pm [EDT], and stay tuned throughout June for more premieres of The MAX Sessions with performances from Ed from Live and INXS.
