"André Brown's soulful tone and love of melody stand out in a world of college-learnt skronking 'n' honking. His uplifting sax voice is richly affiliated to gospel music and aspires to the sound of R&B greats like Cannonball Adderly. A mature young man to look out for not just next year, but over the next decade."
Andy Robson Jazzwise Magazine - Dec 07/Jan 08 (UK's Best Selling Jazz Magazine)
