Reg Webb and Friends / Press

“(describing Mr. Reject, Reg's early creation) I think this long-lost and unknown album must be one of the best kept secrets of the private press world! This weirdo hippy concept album was composed by the hugely talented blind musician REG WEBB whom I've found out later went on to play in numerous jazz bands + nearly found fame with his late-'70s band 'FUSION' (which included a young NIK KERSHAW!) and he also played sessions with many big names, including LENNY KRAVITZ!.

“Laura Jepp and Reg Webb are Short People. This awesome duo will not disappoint,”

“The return of club favourites The 3 B’s with a blend of styles that ranges from jazz standards and blues to electric fusion. Featuring the charismatic and intensely soulful Reg Webb (vocals/keyboards) with longstanding sparring partners Lincoln Anderson (bass) and Andrew Dowding (drums). A band that performs everything with a driving sense of urgency to hold the attention.”

“Reg Webb is a wonderful, charismatic powerful pianist with an absolutely brilliant voice with smooth vocal delivery.”

“His music then and now defines eclectic; he soaks up the rhythm and beat from a wide range of musical genres, and smoothly makes them his own. It's probably why he's been so much in demand for session work.... Reg continued freelance gigs, and studio sessions for Robin Trower, a rock guitarist whose initial success was with Procol Harum, superstar David Essex, and Andy Piercy, a singer-songwriter who found fame with the gospel duo Ishmael and Andy. Working on the demos led Reg to playing keyboard for three East End lads called The Outfield. He joined The Outfield on their first US tour, in support of their debut smash hit album "Play Deep", for which he received the platinum disk which graces the wall of his studio. Reg then had a call out of the blue from the manager of American singer-songwriter Lenny Kravitz. A last minute telephone audition led to tours in America, Europe, and Japan with Kravitz and French former child star and singer Vanessa Paradis in the early 90s.”

““Reg Webb….utterly brilliant…” BBC Radio”

“The main man himself was pretty nifty on the keyboards and managed to sound - at various points - like Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder and a host of other great singers. ”

“Reg Webb is one of the most respected figures on the East Anglian music scene who makes no apology for his eclectic mixture of styles and influences.”

“Reg is a wonderful pianist with an absolutely brilliant voice. A charismatic musician, his trio performs a mixture of Jazz standards and more contemporary material in a quite unique style. His powerful piano playing and smooth vocal delivery, reminiscent of a cross between Stevie Wonder and the classic Jazz vocalists, drives the trio who count Lenny Kravitz, John McLaughlan, Linda Lewis, Jimmy Witherspoon, Steve Harley, Suzi Quatro, Roland Kirk, and Art Farmer amongst the many artists they have performed with. Resident on the East coast, these vastly experienced musicians have been entrancing audiences up and down the country for many years now. Their visits to London are few and far between so my advice is catch them while you can.”
