Neath Beat is the new album from Joe Webb, following the acclaimed and Mercury Prize-shortlisted Hamstrings & Hurricanes.Arriving at a defining point in his rapidly rising career, Webb delivers the next chapter with the momentum of a musician whoseaudience and reputation are expanding quickly. National television appearances on Later... with Jools Holland and the Jools'Annual Hootenanny introduced his explosive piano style to millions, while collaborations with RAYE and performances alongsideWynton Marsalis mark Webb as one of the most compelling emerging voices in British jazz.At the centre of Neath Beat is Webb’s distinctive piano language - the rhythmic drive of stride, the melodic instinct of Britpop, andthe storytelling shaped by the music he absorbed growing up in South Wales. His trio playing carries the lineage of pianists suchas Oscar Peterson and Duke Ellington, channelled through the songwriting culture of bands like Oasis. The result is music thatfeels urgent, melodic and unmistakably personal - a pianist pushing forward with imagination, clarity and the confidence of anartist whose story is gaining real momentum.
