Joe Webb
Originally from Wales, pianist Joe Webb is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with on the UK jazz scene. Now resident in London, he’s worked with Hailey Tuck, Rob Luft, Adrian Cox, Fraser and the Alibis and more. But it is as a member of the Kansas Smitty’s House Band, the swinging, mainstream jazz outfit dubbed London’s ‘new swing princes’ that his profile has reached new heights (including appearing with fellow Smitty’s on Jamie Cullum’s new Christmas album). For this 606 show Joe's put together a superb quintet featuring his contemporaries Alex Harper-sax, Will Arnold-Forster-guitar, Adam King-bass & Shane Forbes-drums.
“ [Webb]…a dazzling display of virtuoso pianistics, combining rhythmic sophistication and complexity with a dazzling variety of piano styles.” The JazzMann
