ANDY MIDDLETON is one of the very top-tier saxophonists and jazz composers living in Europe today. He has performed and recorded with artists including Ralph Towner, Kenny Wheeler, David Holland Billy Hart, Maria Schneider, Richie Beirach, Renee Rosnes, Randy Brecker, Bob Mintzer, Lionel Hampton, Joey Calderazzo, John Abercrombie, Steve Rodby, Scott Colley, Adam Nussbaum, and Fritz Pauer. He has been Professor of Jazz Composition and Saxophone at the University for Music and Art of the
City of Vienna since 2006.

Andy Middleton himself is in a class of his own. It is a must to hear, see and experience how he constructs, searches and propels his solos… uncompromising playing, searching and bringing to light of the deepest and best in oneself. (www.draaiomjeoren.com)

Middleton is an individual who manages simultaneously to think, feel, produce, teach, question, evolve, search and to be aware of it when he finds the thing that he has been searching for. Unbelievable tone and mastery! (Jazz Turkey)

There is one soloist who truly stands apart from the rest of the crowd, and that is Andy Middleton. (Saxophone Journal, USA)

Andy Middleton represents the best of a new generation of jazz musicians. (Dave Liebman)

Here is the sax player with the courage to pursue his own voice. Here is improvising and writing in its best form - really pretty amazing! (Michael Brecker)
