'Everything is near perfect' – a review of the album 'Music Is: Chris Biscoe Plays Mike Westbrook'
Line-up: Chris Biscoe (soprano, alto & baritone sax + alto clarinet), Mike Outram (guitar), Kate Williams (piano), Dave Whitford (bass), Jon Scott (drums)
Multi-reed player Chris Biscoe has worked and toured with Mike and Kate Westbrook since 1979 and knows their music intimately. Mike Westbrook has a huge body of work, with characterful influential compositions whose performances range across small band jazz, through big bands, cabaret, fusion, chamber works - and creative re-workings of The Beatles' Abbey Road.
Chris pays homage to his long-term musical associates in his new album 'Music Is' whose underlying simple idea is to rework some of the 'magnum opus' Westbrook pieces for a small jazz group, as you might an Ellington, Monk or Gershwin song.
"Everything about [the album] 'Music Is: Chris Biscoe Plays Mike Westbrook' is near perfect: the simplicity of the concept, the choice of material, the uncluttered nature of the arrangements, the quality of the performances, the clarity of the recording. A little gem" All About Jazz
