Julian Joseph Trio
“When Joseph gave vent to a right-hand riff […] it was a huge flourish that cascaded exuberantly up to the top of the keyboard, sometimes pausing en route to whirl on the spot like a Catherine wheel. Meanwhile the left hand seemed to stride across the keyboard in seven-league boots, every harmony liberally sauced with tangy ninths and elevenths. Pretty soon one felt drunk on it all.” Ivan Hewett, Daily Telegraph.
Described as one of Duke Ellington’s ‘natural-born heirs’, Julian Joseph OBE is perhaps the UK’s best known and loved jazz pianists: a bandleader, composer, educator and broadcaster who has spent a 35-year career championing jazz throughout the UK and across the globe.
