One of the original torch bearers for the revitalized young British jazz scene, Led Bib released their third studio album 'Sensible Shoes' on Cuneiform Records in May 2009. The album was described as a modern classic by the press "a hands-down triumph" said The Independent, "...a gale of fresh air" wrote The Guardian and the group were described as "The future of jazz" by The Times.
Relentlessly dodging definition, Led Bib are both a maverick jazz band and an unlikely rock quintet. Together they have torn apart the jazz world with their explosions of improvisation, combining the energy and passion of a rock outfit with the technical ability of trained jazz musicians - their effect is exhilarating.
In 2009 their latest release was nominated as Mercury Music 'Album of the Year'.
