Mike Westbrook Band of Bands

Mike Westbrook

The UK's foremost jazz composer. He has led and composed for a succession of big bands, orchestras and small groups since the 1960s, often working on the boundary between jazz and classical music. 'Mike Westbrook is a master of jazz orchestration. He can suggest a carnival, a ballroom or a greasy back street with a few cunningly placed notes. The full effect is awe inspiring'. 'An exhilarating contemporary spin on the big band tradition’ (The Guardian) 'Britain's most innovative Big Band leader' (The Wire).
