Joe Webb Trio

The King Georg is looking forward to the young, up-and-coming pianist Joe Webb from Great Britain, who is coming to Cologne for the first time with his trio!

Inspired by the emotional depth of 90s Brit-pop and his Welsh cultural roots, Joe Webb is a pianist of exceptional talent, charisma and vision. He has developed a unique identity that seamlessly blends technical mastery of traditional jazz piano, including the sophisticated stride style, with a modern sensibility.

Following the success of his highly acclaimed digital EPs Collblanc and SET, released on EDITION RECORDS in early 2024, Joe Webb presents his highly anticipated album Hamstrings & Hurricanes in October 2024, on which he is joined by 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. According to UK VIBE, Joe Webb is a "rising star who epitomizes the current jazz zeitgeist.... A virtuoso of indefatigable exuberance, he blends traditional and modern jazz piano styles with bold skill and unorthodox panache.

Hamstrings & Hurricanes, a title inspired by his hero Lionel Messi, is a bold, continuous soundscape of live trio improvisations and spontaneous creativity that confirms Joe Webb as a pioneering force in jazz, ready to conquer the international stage with the support of influential fans such as Jools Holland, Jamie Cullum and Gilles Peterson .
