MARK WASTELL INVISIBLE GUARDIANS BIG BAND
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]While piecing together the elements for this big band two things kept coming to mind. Firstly, how our teachers, mentors and musical forebears keep some kind of watch over us, invisible guardians that continue to inspire and protect us & push us ever onward to new musical experiences.
Secondly...
...I wanted to pay a little homage to the larger ensembles of previous generations, some of which I was lucky enough to see live; Chris McGregor’s Brotherhood of Breath, Mike Westbrook Band, Tony Oxley’s Celebration Orchestra, Jazz Warriors, Barry Guy’s London Jazz Composers Orchestra, John Stevens Spontaneous Music Orchestra, Stan Tracey Genesis Orchestra, the big bands of Louis Moholo-Moholo, Simon H. Fell, Howard Riley, Keith Tippett & others. Fortunately, these sixteen wonderful players agreed to join me on this journey, themselves representing the rich pool of contemporary performers the music is lucky to have. – Mark Wastell
