“There are few people more joyous to listen to at the piano than Joe Webb.” Jamie Cullum

A trailblazing artist with an unwavering passion, Joe Webb is poised to modernise Jazz piano tradition with his unmatched talent and rockstar-like demeanour. With a captivating fusion of traditional piano virtuosity and an unwavering passion for 90’s guitar bands and football, Webb emerges as a truly unique talent, fearlessly challenging conventions and pushing the boundaries of contemporary Jazz.

Captivated by the timeless sounds of Jazz legends like Fats Waller, Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, and Teddy Wilson, Joe Webb experienced a profound connection and a newfound passion that kick-started a new journey of discovery. Following his discovery of stride piano, it opened up a new path, diverging from the “perceived” trajectory and expectations of a modern contemporary Jazz pianist. In this unique blend of interests, where Oasis harmonise with the spirit of traditional Jazz, Webb forges a sonic identity that defies categorisation.
