Both The Independent on Sunday and Birmingham Post named Skull View their 'Jazz CD of the year' in 1997
Julian was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 to write 60 minutes of music for a new octet. It was performed and recorded at Bath International Music Festival in May 1996 and Skull View is the studio recording.
'...not simply a saxophone improvisor of distinctive lyricism and laid back power, he is a composer of tunes with such unexpected zigzags to their melodies they're becoming immediately recognizable as his'
John Fordham, The Guardian
