"...Andy Middleton affirms himself not only as a saxophone player but as a first-class composer/arranger. Delving into his own inspiration as well as into a tradition that goes back to Ellington via Mingus, he combines sounds in a rich and complex fashion while giving his arrangements an efficacity and listenability accessible to the uninitiated... the contributions of the leader and the talented Renee Rosnes, as well as the refined and restrained energy of the rhythm section reveal more than one wonder... . A musician of such caliber deserves that the public and the critics follow his future evolution..."
THIERRY QUENUM
JAZZ MAGAZINE July 1995

"A remarkable success ... TERRA INFIRMA is well worth
discovering. {He is an} inventive saxophone player whose playing is
very self-assured and mature."
MICHEL ARCENS
MIDI LIBRE June 18, 1995

"...{his} sound is warm, coherent and spontaneous .... He has a
strong will to translate and express emotions. He is therefore a
young man to follow, and who seems to want to take destiny into his
own hands."
MATTHIEU
JAZZ NOTES July 1995

"Middleton's music is that of the whole earth which sings its blues...
He does not limit himself to an homage; he also makes his own
contribution to jazz. His future is assured; he is one to watch ... his
energy and above all his way to play with sound to cut the time
draws the listener into a very unique universe."
ROUGE Sept. 7, 1995
