About John Surman
English saxophonist John Surman is a world-class composer; his large body of work in classical, theatrical, and soundtrack music has extended his jazz approach. Following an eponymous leader debut in 1969, he recorded Where Fortune Smiles with guitarist John McLaughlin (1970) and appeared on the guitarist's Extrapolation. He has since recorded solo (1979's Upon Reflection), played with church organ and choir (1997's Proverbs and Songs), and with string quartets (2007's The Spaces in Between.) 2012's award-winning Saltash Bells marked a return to solo recording, and future dates saw him playing with a variety of musicians, like 2018's Invisible Threads which pianist Nelson Ayers and vibist Rob Waring. In 2025, Surman, violist Mat Maneri, and pianist Lucian Ban released the studio outing: Cantica Profana and the live The Athenaeum Concert.
