Joe Herbert
Joe Herbert is a London-based contemporary jazz guitarist and composer, blending playful creativity with a deep love for the jazz tradition. His trio’s upcoming debut album, ‘Deeply‘, explores the unique possibilities of the guitar trio format, featuring lively interplay and a cohesive sound. This special show will mark the release of the first single from the album. The band is made up of three musicians with exciting individual voices, who share a love for the music and performing together. Their approach to playing is imaginative and open-minded, both as individuals and a group, creating a dynamic show ranging from tender performances of ballads to moments with the energy of a rock group.
Joe’s influences are wide ranging, regularly playing in funk, soul, and blues bands, and having played classical guitar as a teenager. His playing and compositions reflect this, with directness and simplicity meeting expressiveness and emotion. Joe has studied the playing and approach of the likes of Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Grant Green, Wayne Shorter, and Wes Montgomery, and these influences have shaped his sound.
After growing up in Bedford and studying music at the University of Southampton, Joe moved to London in 2022 and has since established himself as one of the city’s leading up-and-coming jazz guitarists. He has performed his original music with his own groups around the city, including in sold out shows in the London Jazz Festival in 2023 and 2024, and as a sideman he has performed at Ronnie Scott’s, the Barbican, and in jazz clubs across Europe.
Having honed his skills through his experience as a composer and performer, Joe’s upcoming debut album is the result of close collaboration as a band with Toby Yapp and Josh Walker-Martin. Expect lively performances of Joe’s compositions featuring detailed arrangement and adventurous improvisation, exploring each tune with energy and excitement.
