Acid Jazz Records introduces the new ‘Jazz Sessions’ series, with a very special album from prolific drummer Steve White, in his first album as a 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 ‘Long Hot Summer’ and Weller’s biggest solo albums: Wildwood, Stanley Road, Heavy Soul and As Is Now.

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 ’80s Hard Bop outfit that recorded an LP for LP 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 Records, he plays glorious tribute to his jazz roots and filmic influences, performing alongside long-time collaborator Chris Hague.

The perfect album to introduce this new jazz series, with a midcentury- inspired sleeve to match. Leading with the single Changes, the album also includes a clever reworking of the Style Council’s My Ever Changing Moods. Modernists delight.
