We start things off with a very special album from prolific drummer Steve White, in his first album as leader, performing as the Steve White Trio. \u003cem\u003eSoul Drums\u003c\/em\u003e is out 20 March, 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite is known for his long association with Paul Weller, as a member of the Style Council, playing on the hit single ‘Long Hot Summer’ and Weller’s biggest solo albums: \u003cem\u003eWild Wood\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eStanley Road\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHeavy Soul\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAs Is Now\u003c\/em\u003e. He has also played variously with JTQ, Ian Dury, Matt Deighton, Ocean Colour Scene, Squeeze, Oasis and The Who, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside this, he continued to record in both jazz and soul settings, under names such as Trio Valore, The Players , Hague and White, and of course the Jazz Renegades - his great late-’80s Hard Bop outfit that recorded an LP for Polydor, another for Acid Jazz-precursor label Re-Elect The President, and an EP for Acid Jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cem\u003eSoul Drums\u003c\/em\u003e, his return to Acid Jazz Records, he plays glorious tribute to his jazz roots and filmic influences, performing alongside long-time collaborator Chris Hague.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the perfect album to introduce the Jazz Sessions, with a midcentury-inspired sleeve to match. Leading with the single ‘Changes’ - out today on all platforms - the album also includes a clever reworking of the Style Council’s 'My Ever Changing Moods'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jazz Sessions will be an ongoing series in 2026\/27. Look out for further releases from the James Taylor Quartet, Matt Berry, Mick Talbot and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamera Obscura\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChanges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Ever Changing Moods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen The Tourists Leave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMr. B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassing Through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEye To Eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrowing A Whitey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSongs For Us Dads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCough Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Acid Jazz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53845887222106,"sku":"AJXCD888","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/steve-white-trio-soul-drums.jpg?v=1773941973","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/steve-white-trio-soul-drums-cd","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
