Joe Webb 'Hamstrings and Hurricanes'

We're thrilled to announce that Hamstrings & Hurricanes, the debut album from the acclaimed Welsh pianist and composer Joe Webb, is shortlisted as one of 12 Albums of the Year at the 2025 Mercury Prize. Rising fast from South Wales to the UK’s biggest stages, Joe Webb has carved a reputation as one of the most dynamic new pianists in British music. Hamstrings & Hurricanes, Webb’s debut album, released in Oct 2024, draws its charge from both his Welsh cultural roots and the grit and grandeur of ’90s Brit-pop, while never losing sight of the tradition of pre-1960 jazz piano he reveres. The record, produced with his band members, bassist Will Sach and drummer Sam Jesson, collides rags, ballads, blues, and improvisations into something closer to a mixtape than a straight jazz set. A bold, continuous soundscape, Hamstrings & Hurricanes blends studio recordings with live trio moments, giving it an immediacy that mirrors Webb’s reputation as a captivating performer. An extraordinarily gifted pianist and improviser, Webb draws on the flavour of ’90s Brit-pop and his Welsh cultural roots while channelling the virtuosity of stride and early jazz masters. The result is a sound that pays homage to classic idioms yet feels strikingly original – a balance of groove, nostalgia, and invention that has become the hallmark of the Joe Webb Trio. Joe Webb will perform with his trio at the Mercury Prize Awards Show on Thursday 16 October, broadcast live on BBC TV and Radio. "...an extraordinary young pianist and writer who can also illuminate the music of the great masters...the wonderful, amazing Joe Webb!"
