The Pursuit

Jazz · 2009 · 15 tracks · 1h 6m

The Pursuit

A high-gloss collision of big-band swing, indie-pop sensibilities, and electronic flourishes. Cullum's most ambitious and eclectic piano-led statement.

November 9, 2009 · Universal Music Taiwan

A sophisticated and high-energy blend of classic swing confidence and modern pop restlessness.

Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive big-band opening of Just One of Those Things that immediately signals a higher production ambition.

The transformation of Rihanna's Don't Stop the Music into a dark, piano-driven jazz-club floor filler.

The seven-minute sprawl of Music Is Through where the record leans fully into electronic-tinged jazz experimentation.
