Road to Saint Ives

by John Surman

Road to Saint Ives cover art

A deeply evocative, entirely solo recording by the British jazz instrumentalist, heavily inspired by the landscapes of Cornwall. Utilizing multi-tracked saxophones, bass clarinet, and synthesizers, Surman crafts a sweeping, almost cinematic suite that perfectly captures the pristine ECM Records aesthetic.
