“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.”
The Observer

"Mike Westbrook is one of Britain 's most creative, experimental
and daring jazz composers.”
The Times

“In Westbrook, big band music has an historically aware champion
who can keep the genre moving forward with wit and style”
The Scotsman

‘Britain's most innovative Big Band leader’
The Wire.
