I recently came across the Brian Blade album Season of Changes and decided that I must post some of that back to back with John Surman's Changes of Season . Thought it would be a lovely treat for you all. Boy, I was wrong. Don't go round picking music by track name, people, it only causes heartache and trouble. Changes of Season comes from Surman's 1985 album Withholding Pattern . It's one of his solo albums, and on this track it's mostly Surman on soprano sax and [...]

John Surman is an English jazz saxophone, bass clarinet and synthesizer player and composer of free jazz and modal jazz often using themes from folk music as a basis. BBC Over the last 40 years John Surman has been one of the foremost innovators when it comes to defining the saxophone's place in modern music. This restless approach that's given us solo works with synthesizers, entirely sax-based ensembles, pipe organ etc. means that when Brewster's Rooster - a work of what can only be defined as straight ahead jazz - [...]
I have very fond memories of John Surman's Private City . It was on my walkman a lot in the early 1990s as dérived through the streets of Edinburgh. I had the notion that this would be the ideal album for exploring the psychogeography of the place. With a title like that, how could it not be? As it happened, I was completely wrong, and it turned out that the urban mythologising of The Fall was far better suited for my purpose, but at least I got lots of exercise and listened to [...]
