Mike Westbrook And Company - A Bigger Show
Composer/bandleader Mike Westbrook returns to the Queen’s Theatre with an even bigger band and a brand new jazz entertainment. A Bigger Show has been described as a jazz/rock oratorio. Kate Westbrook’s scenario uses the image of the fairground to examine, with irony, humour and high drama, the lot of humankind in the age of the world-wide-web.
The 22 piece ensemble involves 3 vocalists/actors, acoustic brass and saxophones, electronics and a double rhythm section. Kate is joined by fellow vocalists Martine Waltier and Billy Bottle, while Mike Westbrook & Company brings established jazz musicians together with lesser known artists, pop and rock musicians, classical players and talented youngsters in a new kind of big band – the Uncommon Orchestra.
Suitable for ages 10+ years.
