John Surman: Adventure Playground

“

Down Beat (4/93, p.51) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "...the music is reflective and intense....The true marvel of this disc is Tony Oxley. With his tailor-made drum kit, it is uncanny how hard Oxley manages to swing sans meter..."Musician (6/93, p.92) - "...British reedman Surman finds himself in heady company...Bley's moody, minor modes and probing voicings set the tone here, and Surman responds with rich lyricism..."
