‘Band of Bands’ brings together key musicians from legendary British jazz pianist and composer Mike Westbrook’s many small-scale projects. Joining the trio of vocalist/songwriter Kate Westbrook, Mike and saxophonist Chris Biscoe, are four long-time alumni- accordionist Karen Street, saxophonist/clarinettist Pete Whyman, Marcus Vergette on bass and Coach York on drums.The 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 Westbrook Trio and the Uncommon Orchestra. In ‘Band of Bands’ 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.

‘Band of Bands’ was recorded live by Matthew North at Ashburton Arts Centre, Devon in November 2023. It was mixed and produced by Jay Auborn with dBs Pro Bristol.
