Dear readers,
It was about time for me to jazz up my life and here came piano player Joe Webb straight from UK knocking on my door with a debut album which follows me since then. The album will come out on 25th October on Edition Records and together with the lovely & highly motivated Edition team we sat together and made a master plan:
|
We want jazz clubs and festival stages cooking all over the continent, energy bursting in between the audiences and the band, people dancing on bars and/or falling in love, huge lines on our merch tables and new stories to be told to the grand children.

Two EPKs have been released on Edition in 2024: Collblanc & SET
Here's his Spotify for your Jazz playlists at home.
Among his fans and supporters: Jamie Cullum, Jools Holland, Gilles Peterson. Still not convinced? HOW?? Another ace up my sleeve: if you need a heart-warming, passionate conversation about football now and then, Joe Webb is your man. Just been through that, still smiling.
Hit me up for live ideas for the Trio in 2025!

JOE WEBB TRIO
|
Drawing inspiration from the emotive depth of 90's Brit-pop and his Welsh cultural roots, Joe Webb is a pianist of extraordinary talent, charisma, and vision, forging a unique identity that seamlessly blends the technical mastery of traditional jazz piano, including the demanding stride style, with a modern sensibility.
|
|
Following the success of his acclaimed digital EPs Collblanc and SET released on EDITION RECORDS in early 2024, Joe Webb now unveils his highly anticipated full-length album Hamstrings & Hurricanes in October 2024, featuring the formidable talents of Will Sach on bass and Sam Jesson on drums.
|
This album not only fulfills the trio's early promise but firmly establishes them in a distinct and innovative position within the modern jazz landscape. As describe by UK VIBE Joe Webb’s is a star “on the rise, the very embodiment of jazz’s current zeitgeist.. a virtuoso possessed of relentless exuberance, Webb manages to blend traditional and modern jazz piano styles with an audacious prowess and unorthodox swagger”.
|
Hamstrings & Hurricanes, a title inspired by his hero Lionel Messi, is a bold, continuous soundscape that showcases live trio improvisations and spontaneous creativity, confirming Joe Webb as a trailblazing force in jazz, poised to captivate the international stage with the support of influential fans like Jools Holland, Jamie Cullum, and Gilles Peterson.
