ECM Touchstones: Private City
ECM Touchstones: Private City"Portrait of a Romantic" could be the subtitle of this album. It's touching with a range of emotions. John Surman is a master arranger. Despite the fact the he plays all of the instruments, he leaves himself enough space for dramatic solos (mostly on soprano saxophone). Some shorter pieces are little more abstract, others have a gentle groovy undercurrent. The music makes you shiver when listened to late at night.
