  • Bio

    Fine 'n Yellow dedicated to the memory of Margery and John Styles text KATE WESTBROOK music MIKE WESTBROOK Now available on Voiceprints new Gonzo Jazz label. "In the Autumn I was standing in our small yard looking at the last remaining leaf on our fig tree. The leaf being yellow, I thought of Margery and I wrote the words for Yellow Fig Leaf." Kate Westbrook In 2008, in the final months of her illness Margery Styles decided to commission a piece of music from us, to commemorate her life, and that of her husband John who died in 1989. John and Margery were great lovers of jazz and good friends and supporters of many musicians. Characteristically, Margery didn't mention her bequest to us. It was only after her funeral that we learned that she had given us this wonderful opportunity. Margery’s favourite colour was yellow. This was our starting point.

    Hello Mike

    I am a little disappointed that we don't play "On Dukes Birthday" in
    Lausanne next week. It would have been a funny revival of the wonderful week
    we spent together in oktober... I hope you're doing fine! All the best lukas
