Joe is a true modern-day entertainer, known globally as a performer of wit, style and a level of musicianship which has seen him recognised as one of the best singer-pianists in the world. Joe worked with our jazz band and singers to help us understand the process of arranging jazz standards in new and original ways. He then treated us to a Q&A and closed with an outstanding improvisation based on music suggestions from the students. We are so grateful to him for his time, experience and generosity. A number of students then went on to watch him perform alongside Liza Pullman in the show ‘Hooray For Hollywood’.
