Soul Drums
2026 sees a new release series on Acid Jazz: the Jazz Sessions, masterminded by Acid Jazz founder Ed Piller, showcasing his love of â60s and â70s jazz. It starts with a very special album from prolific drummer Steve White, in his first album as leader, performing as the Steve White Trio.
White is known for his long association with Paul Weller, as a member of the Style Council, playing on the hit single âLong Hot Summerâ and Wellerâs biggest solo albums âWildwoodâ, âStanley Roadâ, 'Heavy Soulâ and âAs Is Nowâ.
Alongside this, he continued to record in both jazz and soul settings, under names such as Trio Valore, The Groove Train and, of course, The Jazz Renegades - his great late 1980s Hard Bop outfit that recorded an album for Polydor, another for Acid Jazz precursor label Re-Elect The President and an EP for Acid Jazz.
On Soul Drums, his return to Acid Jazz, White plays glorious tribute to his jazz roots and filmic influences, performing alongside longtime collaborator Chris Hague.
The perfect album to introduce this new jazz series, with a mid-century-inspired sleeve to match. Leading with the single âChangesâ, the album also includes a clever reworking of the Style Councilâs âMy Ever Changing Moodsâ. Modernists delight.
