Mike Westbrook – Citadel/Room 315 (1975)

Michael John David Westbrook OBE (born 21 March 1936) is an English jazz pianist, composer, and writer of orchestrated jazz pieces. He is married to the musician, librettist, and painter Kate Westbrook.

This is an excellent album that once again confirms that there is nothing that Westbrook does better than arrange for a big band play­ing his own compositions. Citadel/Room 315 follows in the tradition of Release, Marching Song and Metropolis and is a fine major work. The choice of side men is good and the most featured soloist, John Surman, plays with charac­teristic authority. One might single out his plaintive soprano on Tender Love or his powerful baritone on Outgoing Song, but he plays well throughout.

As with all Westbrook records, there is plenty of room for solo statements. Griffiths and Lowther deserve mention for their outings on Love And Understanding, Lowther for his long solo on Pastorale, and Wakeman for his clarinet, which is such a delightful surprise on Sleepwalker. Godding has a weli-built solo appropriately on Construction, and MacRae has a good acoustic piano solo on Pistache, although it sounds as if it would have had more impact played on the electric instrument. (His phrasing suggests this.)

Bebop De Rigueur is an imagina­tive trio piece with Surman, Law­rence and Jackson. More than any other it demonstrates the scope of Jackson’s drumming. In this setting he is superbly subtle, yet his work in the full band context can only be described as strong. Without trying to over-rate anybody concerned he has become Danny Richmond to Westbrook’s Mingus.
