Apart from Middleton's most beatiful play this album appeals also by featuring the first recording collaboration of Ralph Towner and Dave Holland after two decades. Andy Middleton's debut with intuition, ''Nomad's Notebook'' has justified even the most enthusiastic statements about this young saxophone player's qualities as a composer and performer: While unmistakably oriented on the traditional value of Jazz, Middleton's music has a distinct individual and contemporary note to it -- managing to create an impression fresh and cosily familiar at the same time. Mainly lyrical in terms of atmosphere, Middletons tunes savour sounds and moods to the fullest. A gripping report from the inner worlds of a great musician, this ''Nomad's Notebook'', illustrated in dazzling colours, a rewarding matter from end to end.
