SUMMARY:'Stride to Modernism': A Personal Journey Through Jazz Piano - Joe Webb
DESCRIPTION:The Richard Burton Annual Lecture\n‘Stride to Modernism’: A Personal Journey Through Jazz Piano – Joe Webb\nTuesday 10th November 2026 | 18:00-19:30\nTaliesin Arts Centre\, Swansea University\, Singleton Campus\, Swansea SA2 8PZ\n  \nFREE TICKETS\nJoin us on the anniversary of Richard Burton’s 101st birthday. \nIn this lecture\, Neath-born pianist Joe Webb reflects on the influences that shaped his development into an award-winning jazz pianist. In tracing some of the musicians who inspired him\, Joe will explore the evolution of jazz piano from the early twentieth century to the 1960s: from Scott Joplin to Bud Powell\, Mary Lou Williams to Hazel Scott\, and Jelly Roll Morton to Herbie Hancock. Along the way\, he will demonstrate key stylistic innovations and perform works that have become cornerstones of the jazz canon. Having devoted the past decade to his career as a performer\, Joe looks forward to sharing his musical journey in a different capacity through this unique combination of performance and conversation. \nJoe Webb is one of the most formidable jazz pianists to emerge in Britain in recent years – a musician with fearless technique\, unmistakable swagger and a melodic instinct shaped by his Welsh roots. His debut album\, Hamstrings & Hurricanes\, was shortlisted for the 2025 Mercury Prize\, and he has performed with the Wynton Marsalis Quartet\, toured with Jamie Cullum and appeared on Later… with Jools Holland\, who calls him “the greatest new piano player in the world today”. Signed to Edition Records\, Joe draws on the virtuosity of stride and early jazz masters\, filtered through a modern British sensibility. \nThe Richard Burton Lecture is part of an annual series of prestigious events led by the Richard Burton Centre in collaboration with the Cultural Institute at Swansea University.
