Reviews of the 2004 album "Lowlands" (given four stars by John Fordham in the Guardian):

"Combines a jazz edge with the melodic zest of folk...delightful-a romping country dance witha contemporary urban flair"

(Geoffrey Smith Jazz Record Requests BBC Radio 3)

 "It's jazz of admirable freshness and originality"

(The Yorkshire Post)

"This is an album of uncommon finesse which restores ones faith in the fact that modern jazz still has new directions to take..."

(Claire Hadaway-Jazz Views)

"secure and technically expert a jazz improviser... using a beautifully pure tone on his saxes and flutes"

( Jack Massarik-Jazzwise)

"a deceptively reserved player with all kinds of hidden fires...full of surprises"

(John Fordham- the Guardian)

"delightful and charming"

(Derek Ansell- Jazz Journal)

"..... the best of contemporary British Jazz"

(Musician Magazine )
