Live Jazz London

Influences: Oscar Peterson, Horace Silver, Art Blakey

Julian Joseph plays piano and leads a trio, a 20-piece big band, and orchestral projects, with a sound rooted in swinging, bluesy hard bop and modern compositional ideas. He is also a composer whose works have been performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Hallé and the Liverpool Philharmonic, and he hosts broadcasts and has written the book Music of Initiative. He is the first Black British jazz musician to host a concert series at London's Wigmore Hall, and this gig marks a 50th anniversary celebration with saxophonists Iain Ballamy and Soweto Kinch.
