The only criticism you can have of Chris Biscoe's 50-plus years in jazz is why he's recorded so few projects of his own. Instead, he's graced the work of everyone from the Brotherhood of Breath to Ray Russell, and indeed the Orchestre National de Jazz. But it's for the many decades collaborating with Mike Westbrook that his work is most known and has reached the widest, international audience.

So, it's most fitting that this new recording finds multi-reedist Biscoe interpreting some of Westbrook's best songs alongside a stellar band who have a strong feel for the composer's work, not least in Kate Williams’ spare but apposite piano.

Being Biscoe, these were never going to be straight ahead re-visits. Take ‘Music Is’ which is afforded two treatments: the upbeat waltz version perfectly counterpoints the cut, cast as a ballad, which itself reflects the original recording.

Even more gorgeous, if possible, is ‘View from the Drawbridge’, rich with sweet-toned soprano and Outram's swells, buoyant above Whitford's deeper than plummet ever sounded bass. And if you’re not happy with one Biscoe, he multi-tracks himself into a chorus of saxes (set off by bird song and traffic noise, of course) on ‘Aggro-Vancouver-Desperado’.

Westbrook's work always bears re-visioning, but for this to come from an artist who himself has such feel, insight and joy into the great man's work is a rare treat indeed.
