Welcome to the John Surman website. It is always difficult to find the time to keep it up to date, but finally we have managed to do a little revising and to at least catch up with a few events from the past 5 or 6 years!

A new solo album is due to be released on ECM records during June 2012. Entitled “SALTASH BELLS” (ECM 2266) it follows in the tradition of his previous solo albums such as “PRIVATE CITY” and “THE ROAD TO ST IVES”

John´s new work for Male Voice Choir, piano and sax”LIFELINES”, is due to premiere in Huddersfield Town Hall on Nov 17th 2012 and at the London Jazz Festival in the QEH on the 18th where it will be recorded by BBC Radio 3. The prize-winning Bolsterstone Male Voice Choir will be featured along with pianist Howard Moody.
