"Meaty harmonies underpin strong melodic lines tinged with references to Celtic folk strains and the blues. Garland plays each of his three horns as though it were his main axe, grabbing your attention with limber phrasing and a centered tone that projects both gravitas and fire." Downbeat (4 and a half stars)


"Garland is quietly, but quickly becoming one of the most important British jazz musicians in years" Jazzwise


"not only a commanding saxophonist but a brilliantly inventive writer"
The Independent


"One of my favourite saxophone players and composers" Chick Corea


"Garland has always sounded special, blessed with a weighty tone that
makes you switch on and want to listen, he is creative at speed and swings with momentum and grace" Time Out


"A world-class virtuoso" BBC music magazine


"Barnstorming solos, exemplary ensemble work, utterly distinctive"
The Times


"A world class player; to qualify for such status, todays' jazz musician
must not only solo like a dream, but compose and arrange expertly too, and Garland passes all three tests. Music for head and heart, this belongs on any list of jazz albums of the year" The Evening Standard on "Made by Walking"


"Formidable" John Fordham, The Guardian
