Our Take

In the magical realm of jazz, where the notes dance like giddy teenagers at a prom, there exists a force to be reckoned with - MIKE WESTBROOK & COMPANY. And let me tell you, their latest live album, The Uncommon Orchestra: A Bigger Show, is one hell of a ride.

From the moment the first trumpet blares like a wake-up call from the heavens, you know you're in for something special. The energy of Westbrook and his talented ensemble is infectious, filling the room with an electric buzz that makes you want to get up and dance like nobody's watching.

But it's not just about the high-energy moments - oh no. The Uncommon Orchestra knows how to take you on a journey, with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. From the sweet, melancholic melodies to the explosive crescendos, this album is a rollercoaster of emotions that you won't want to get off.

And let's not forget the stellar musicianship on display here. Westbrook and his Company are like a well-oiled machine, each member bringing their A-game to the table and creating a sound that is as tight as a drum.

So grab your dancing shoes and get ready for A Bigger Show - this is one album that will have you grooving all night long.
