Jazz Sabbath is a British jazz trio led by pianist Adam Wakeman, who played keyboards and guitar with Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne's band from 2004 onward. The trio performs jazz renditions of Black Sabbath songs, maintaining a tongue-in-cheek fictional backstory that they wrote the songs in 1968 and were plagiarised by the Birmingham rockers. Three studio albums since 2020 have all charted on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart, and in 2026 Wakeman won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance for his role in Ozzy Osbourne's farewell concert.
Jazz Sabbaths first official live album 'Jazz Sabbath Live' was released on February 20, 2026 - recorded at Paradox Jazz Club in Tilburg during the 2025 European tour.
Adam Wakeman won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance at the 68th Grammy Awards for his performance at Ozzy Osbourne's farewell concert 'Back to the Beginning' in Birmingham in July 2025.
Jazz Sabbath is touring in 11 countries with 42 scheduled concerts, including shows in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
Jazz Sabbaths third album 'The 1968 Tapes' was released in a mono edition as a Record Store Day exclusive on vinyl in November 2025.
The trio released 'The 1968 Tapes' as their third studio album in November 2024 with eight jazz versions of Black Sabbath classics.
