Fuelled by deep love of 90’s guitar bands and an unwavering passion for football (with a slight obsession for Lionel Messi), Joe Webb emerges with a new EP ‘Collblanc’ as an extraordinary talent, skilfully blending traditional piano mastery with a captivating rock star persona.

“Collblanc” is not merely a new digital EP, but a significant mark of Joe Webb’s renewed sonic adventure, flanked by the formidable Will Sach on bass and Sam Jesson on drums. With an anticipating sequence of EPs and a climactic album to drop in 2024, “Collblanc” stands as a watershed moment — the juncture where Joe records for the first time with his new trio and interlaces his recent infatuation for stride piano in his own unique way.Joe Webb, is the pianist of the moment, the very embodiment of jazz’s current zeitgeist. An avant-garde virtuoso possessed of relentless exuberance, Webb stands on the brink of revitalising the blend of traditional and modern Jazz piano with his unparalleled prowess and audacious, almost rockstar-esque swagger. Conjuring a magnetic meld of orthodox piano brilliance with an unyielding love for the anthems of ’90s guitar bands and the beautiful game, Webb charts a course as a singular genius — boldly subverting the status quo and pushing the envelope of Jazz Piano.

Spellbound by the ageless reverberations of jazz titans such as Fats Waller, Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, and Teddy Wilson, Webb felt an epiphany that propelled him on a path less trodden. A serendipitous encounter with stride piano heralded an unforeseen trajectory, and a deviation from the expected journey of a contemporary Jazz maestro. Joe Webb is carving out a sonic niche that resists any textbook classification, where the energy of Oasis and the ethos of Britpop meld with the quintessence of classic Jazz.
