"The tall, shaven-headed Damon Brown is a well-known figure in
Europe, his trumpet and long-gauge flugelhorn a well-known and welcome
sound in Paris, Barcelona and other jazz-friendly cities for years. Only
back home in London is he taken for granted, a curious and regrettable
state of affairs. On a good night he is one of the world's finest
players, and last night was such a one. Fluent, impassioned and
technically superb - unlike most of his rivals.. Damon never splits a
note - he produced a series of swinging and shapely solos that had the
crowded venue in the palm of his hand." - Jack Massarik, London Evening
Standard. "Christian Brewer’s alto sound is light - though he can dig in
when needed - and he is a remarkably fluent and craftsmanlike
improviser. Though fresh ideas flow inexorably, Brewer is not tempted to
waste notes despite his fluency, so that there’s a real sense of
purpose about his work." - Peter Martin, Jazz UK
