A festeggiare i quarant'anni di attività del celebre Westbrook Trio - Mike e Kate in fraterna alleanza con Chris Biscoe - si uniscono in squisita sintonia Karen Street, Pete Whyman, Marcus Vergette e Coach York, così che da un semplice anniversario nasce un vero e proprio nuovo progetto: Band of Bands, atteso al debutto tra qualche giorno a Londra, dopo l'imprevista (e improvvisa) cancellazione del concerto previsto domani a Torquay.
Formed in 1982 the Trio is the longest established and most widely travelled of all Mike’s ensembles. The group’s mix of composition, song and improvisation has been at the heart of many Westbrook projects, from the seminal Brass Band of the ‘70s to the current Uncommon Orchestra. The unique repertoire around which the performance of the Band of Bands is based, has been shaped by the experience of touring and of collaborating with artists in many countries. There are re-creations of Westbrook classics alongside new compositions, and arrangements of some lesser known standards, all interpreted by some of the UK’s most original and distinctive soloists.
