Norma Winstone - Gilles Peterson presents Norma Winstone Live at Maida Vale Norma Winstone

Gilles Peterson presents Norma Winstone Live at Maida Vale is a live album that comes as part of an amazing collaboration between BBE Music and UK DJ and radio legend Gilles Peterson.

Pre-empting the future release of Gilles' compilation BBC Sessions Vol 2 – Maida Vale: the End of an Era on BBE Music, this Norma Winstone concert is an absolute must-have for any jazz fan.

Released as a vinyl LP, this recording captures vocalist and composer Norma Winstone with a group of contemporary and emerging musicians that include her sons Leo Taylor and Alex Taylor on drums and vocals respectively, world-renowned tuba player Oren Marshall, pianist and composer Elliot Galvin (Shabaka Hutchins, Emma-Jean Thackray), and saxophonist Mark Lockheart (Polar Bear, Radiohead, Robert Wyatt).

As BBE Music celebrates 30 years as one of the UK's and the world's pre-eminent and innovative Black music record labels, this collaboration with Gilles Peterson is an apt partnership to curate, release and highlight music from Gilles' groundbreaking BBC Sessions recorded at the globally famous Maida Vale Studios.

To feature a concert by a legend such as Norma Winstone, who has worked with everyone from Joe Harriott to Michael Garrick to Ian Carr's Nucleus across her 50-plus-year career, is clearly a highly personal moment for Gilles, who described the Maida Vale gig as “possibly the biggest highlight of all my years at the BBC.”

Released on BBE Music as a five-track vinyl LP, Gilles Peterson presents Norma Winstone Live at Maida Vale comes in a gatefold sleeve featuring photographs from the session and sleeve notes by music and culture writer Emma Warren.
