John Surman

John Surman is an English jazz saxophonist and composer known for his work on baritone and soprano saxophone and bass clarinet. His music moves between modern and free jazz, often combining melodic, folk-tinged themes with extended improvisation, and he frequently employs multi-tracking and electronic textures to create layered, atmospheric arrangements. Surman has been a notable presence in British and European jazz since the late 20th century.
