Outer Spaces
“Alto saxophonist and composer George Winstone's debut recording stands out from the crowd.... Evidenced by this first outing, Winstone is undoubtedly a future star in the making.”
—All About Jazz
Released in the summer of 2018 and featuring stand-out London talents Charlie Stacey (p), Jamie Murray (d) and Mikele Montolli (b), Outer Spaces is a contemporary jazz recording that draws inspiration from an expansive array of musical traditions. Says Winstone: “I want my compositions to reflect exactly who I am and what I want to hear—and, simultaneously, to allow for everyone in the band to make the music truly their own.”
