Cullum recently visited NPR’s Studio 1 in Washington DC to give an intimate performance for NPR Weekend Edition and discuss the new album with host Scott Simon. Listen to the segment which aired on Saturday. Interlude marks a shift to straight-ahead jazz and a return to interpretation from an artist who has made a habit of bending genres, writing original material and bringing new sounds and new listeners to the music.

Working with producer Benedic Lamdin of Nostalgia 77, Cullum selected a number of jewels from the American songbook, including the title track, which was penned by Dizzy Gillespie and Frank Paparelli, and added a couple of modern surprises. The album features a pair of remarkable duets, a stunning rendition of “Good Morning Heartache” featuring Laura Mvula, and an inspiring take on “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” featuring Gregory Porter.
