Joe Webb is regarded as one of the most formidable new jazz pianists to emerge in recent years – a musician with fearless technique, unmistakable swagger and a melodic instinct that lands with clarity, purpose and distinctly Welsh melodic flair. His ascent has been driven by genuine acclaim, commanding live performances and support from figures such as Wynton Marsalis, Jools Holland and Jamie Cullum, further amplified by his 2025 Mercury Prize shortlist for Hamstrings & Hurricanes. 

Joined by bassist Will Sach and drummer Sam Jesson, Webb continues his “mixtape” concept on Neath Beat, merging the spark of his live sets with carefully crafted compositions. The sound draws on the velocity and harmonic imagination of Art Tatum, channelled through a modern, British sensibility shaped by the melodic directness and confidence of Oasis. The result is bold, hook-focused and rhythmically charged – virtuosity delivered with style, lift and undeniable presence.
