I have followed Julian’s progress since he was a boy . Every time I hear him he gets better and better . I can hear his influences, but, with his beautiful delicate sound and perfect time, he really is ‘his own man’. With this album Julian has really arrived !
Stringle’s clarinet sound is exquisite; it has freshness, sparkle and a flute-like softness. At times he makes the clarinet sound re-invented. This breathtaking young clarinettist offers a future for the instrument in the jazz front line
Julian is a breathtaking clarinet player with faultless technique, inate harmonic judgement, and his own distinctive melifluous sound . He is a consummate artist, whose life has been dedicated to his craft. Today, his place among the ranks of the all- time great clarinettists is assured.
Julian has a very rare talent and a great band. I'm a big fan !
Julian is now one of the world’s great clarinet players – right up there with Eddie Daniels!
A wonderful talent ! A marvellous clarinettist ! In my eyes he’s a jazz great already . This CD is super! Congratulations Jules !
Julian is an outstanding talent. His playing, singing and composing are all equally impressive. His music, youth and good looks could attract a whole new young audience to jazz
Julian is an immense talent! Probably the best clarinettist to emerge in British jazz for several decades. His playing has ‘world class’ written all over it.
Julian is a thoroughly engaging and vibrant clarinettist. He’s got it all - sound, technique, ideas and feeling!
I really appreciate your taste and choice of music Julian. Your singing and playing are beautiful. Keep on doing it!
