British jazz trio Jazz Sabbath reimagines Black Sabbath classics with pianist Adam Wakeman. A clever fusion of heavy metal and jazz that has won over both jazz and rock critics.
Adam Wakeman (born 11 March 1974 in Windsor, England) is a British pianist, keyboardist and guitarist, son of Yes legend Rick Wakeman. Classically trained from childhood, he has been a member of Ozzy Osbourne's band since 2004 and served as Black Sabbath's touring keyboardist from 2004 to 2017 and again in 2025. In 2020 he founded the jazz trio Jazz Sabbath, which reimagines Black Sabbath classics as instrumental jazz - two of its three albums have reached the Billboard Jazz Chart top 10.
Adam Wakeman won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance at the 68th Grammy Awards for his participation in the performance of 'Changes' from the Back to the Beginning concert in Birmingham in July 2025.
Jazz Sabbath released their first official live album, 'Jazz Sabbath Live', recorded at Paradox Jazz Club in Tilburg, Netherlands, during the band's 2025 tour.
Wakeman performed with Ozzy Osbourne's solo band at the Back to the Beginning farewell concert at Villa Park in Birmingham on July 5, 2025 - Ozzy's last performance ever.
Jazz Sabbath released their third album 'The 1968 Tapes' on November 29, 2024, featuring new jazz versions of, among others, 'Into the Void', 'War Pigs' and 'The Wizard'.
Jazz Sabbath is undertaking a comprehensive international tour in 2026, spanning 11 countries and 37 cities, including dates in the Netherlands, Czech Republic, England and Scotland.
