"...une personalité forte qui ne s'arretera pas aux limites du jeu concentionnel." Vincent Bessières, Jazzman 2007
“…balanced airy west coast lyricism with hard-edged New York bite, held together by her strong sense of musical form…Impressively, Gamlen played from the inside and without artifice, creating tension simply from her choice and placement of notes… music of originality and poise.” Mike Hobart , The Financial Times
"Amy Gamlen in my opinion, is one of the most important saxophonists and musicians currently performing. Her sense of musical form, technical mastery, adventure, and most important in this music, communication of profound feeling has been evident every time I've heard her. Amy's high level of musicianship and musicality is appearent in not only her improvisations but in her choice of musical companions andaccompanists who, like Amy, are some of the finest and strongest musicians of the younger generation.” Steve Potts.
“…a neat but adventurous player with an urgent, occasionally even pleasingly strident tone and a striking compositional gift…..a genuine original.” Chris Parker, The Vortex East Festival.
"...Conscients d'écouter là un rare moment de musique, le 1 set s'est déroulé dans un recueillement jouissif et c'est à peine si nous osions applaudir entre les chorus de peur de troubler le vol de cette musique. Les compositions de Amy m'ont conquis..."
Quin, Citizen Jazz "...quelques voltiges impressionnantes évoquant une agréable sensation d’aquaplaning." Jérôme Gransac, Citizen Jazz. " ...hugely talented… " Ian Carr, The Rough Guide to Jazz

I hope you are well... since all this time. Here you are, my new album is in shops (it's an expression which we will not use for very long time, I'm afraid !!) since october the 26th... ... and I've to say that I'm very proud of it !!
I am glad to announce the release of my debut CD called "Interro Island". This is my first solo project, which includes original tunes composed and arranged by me. I hope you will enjoy my work!
Thinkin'of Radiohead (Ok Computer - Let Down), duck magret with cèpes séchés à la graisse de canard, John Coltrane (Expression 1967), my lessons at Koenig School and... Amy Gamlen's band! Bises Thomas
