Thrilled to hear that John Surman will be performing the 'Tales of the Algonquin' suite with the Southampton Youth Jazz Orchestra under the direction of composer John Warren in the Turner Sims Concert Hall this February. About time this one was resurrected in live performance - it is an incendiary work. Incidentally, Turner Sims in Southampton are featuring this one as part of a special John Surman weekend. The other night features his Special Quartet with board member Alex Hawkins on piano. Both of these will be unmissable !
