John Surman: Flashpoint: NDR Jazz Workshop - April '69
by John Kelman
1969 was a watershed year for John Surman. He released his eponymous debut on Dutton Vocalion that year, but it was the recording session for How Many Clouds Can You See? (Vocalion, 1970), that made the year of Woodstock and man's first steps on the moon so portentous for the 25 year-old saxophonist An album effortlessly ...
Ken Wheeler & The John Dankworth Orchestra: Windmill Tilter
by Nic Jones
It's easy to forget how long Canadian-born Kenny Wheeler has been making music.

Windmill Tilter offers the best of both ...

Mike Osborne: Force Of Nature
by Nic Jones
The mercurial nature of alto saxophonist Mike Osborne's musical personality was arguably a difficult thing to capture on record, but here it's caught in all its glory despite the slightly muddy fidelity. Any degree to which he might have been in thrall to both Jackie McLean and Ornette Coleman was no longer an issue by the ...
