Helmed by pianist Adam Wakeman (Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne’s solo band), The Jazz Sabbath trio explores the boundaries between jazz and the songs that defined heavy metal. Echoing already present jazz riffs and discovering new ones.
With rave reviews from both the rock and jazz media, sold out shows throughout Europe and 2 albums high in the Billboard Jazz charts, this jazz trio is a unique live experience.
About Jazz Sabbath
Presenting themselves as a jazz trio formed in 1968 and being the original writers of the tracks, later made famous by Black Sabbath, they released their self-titled debut album in 2020. In April 2022 they released Vol.2, which entered the Billboard jazz album chart at #6. Both albums got special Record Store Day Mono editions, which sold out within days.
The 2022 and 2023 tours had several highlights including 2 sold out sets at the EFG London Jazz festival- and shows selling out well in advance throughout Europe and the UK. Over 200.000 people watched the live stream from their show at the Leverkusen Jazz Festival in Germany and a million have since.
On the albums Adam is joined by Ash Soan on drums and Jerry Meehan on bass, plus a list of guest musicians, such as Fraser T. Smith (Sam Smith), Simon McBride (Deep Purple) and Gus G (Firewind, Ozzy Osbourne). However, all go by their 1960s pseudonyms.
