MIKE WESTBROOK "LOVE SONGS" LP
ONE OF THE JAZZ PEAKS FROM ENGLAND!!
A SOUL/JAZZ/FUNK MASTERPIECE!!!!!

Released in 1970 on Deram Records.
A concept album from pianist and composer Mike Westbrook along with his "big band".
There’s really a lot going on in this album ; individually,collectively, scored and improvised, but in my opinion the arrangements with their themes etc. are so good that the result is a real stunner, rather than cluttered or overbearing.
-A jazz/soul record that embraces both the deep, funky and the jazzy. 
A warm feel througout the whole album is present without getting cheasy as the title of the album could suggest.
Its amazing how its uptempo funky tracks still can sound so deep without suggesting some sort of danceparty, but reaches into your soul and moves you (me).  
Enough writing!! -as I realize I cant find words to describe this album
-as it contains something other than just being another record for the dancefloor or containing sampleworthy material -this is deeper!!
Not incredibly rare but still happy to have this original pressing in NM condition as it is so incredibly good!!!
