Joe Stilgoe, son of songwriter Richard Stilgoe, is a serious musician having fun. His singing, piano playing and sense of humour have made him a favourite at the UK’s top jazz clubs.
Songs at the piano don’t get much sharper than this ... Whether he's performing his own material or reshaping an old favourite.
The Observer *****
His formidable piano technique and vocal range (described as “wonderful” by New York cabaret legend Steve Ross) stem from a classical training starting when he was five.
Joe released his debut album ‘I Like This One’ last year and has drawn comparisons with singer/pianists such as Nat King Cole, Harry Connick Jr, Buddy Greco and Jamie Cullum.
