Mike Westbrook Concert Band - Marching Song 1 & 2

Digitally remastered two CD reissue of this amazing Jazz masterpiece from 1969, originally released in two parts on Deram and presented here as a double CD. This album features Westbrook with Alan Skidmore, David Holdsworth, John Surman and a wild collection of brass-wielding legends. An anti-Vietnam piece that takes a remarkable journey from civilization to war and it's inevitable results. A powerful and evocative piece that features some excellent performances and magnificent soloing as the tension mounts. Righteous. 2009.
