A jazz composer whose depth and variety of output has been compared to that of Duke Ellington, Mike Westbrook talks to Alyn Shipton to select the highlights of a recording career that stretches back over 40 years. It includes not only music by his highly rated big band, but also his trio and brass band, along with vocal settings of the works of William Blake.
