Morning Glory by John Surman, released in 1973 on Island Records.

Review by Jason Ankeny

...a record as radiant and beautiful as its title portends, comprised of four epic tracks that despite their scope represent his most mainstream work to date. The skill and dexterity of the improvisations here are astounding. Surman and sidemen Terje Rypdal (guitar), Chris Laurence (bass), John Taylor (electric piano), Malcolm Griffiths (trombone), and John Marshall (drums) connect on an almost telepathic level. But for all its experimental approaches and ingenious ad-libbing, Morning Glory is a remarkably generous album, inviting and approachable like few avant-jazz dates before it. So much of Surman's brilliance hinges on his refusal to alienate listeners regardless of their personal leanings and expectations, while at the same remaining true to his singular muse.

Our Kind Of Sabi by Eddie Louiss, John Surman, and Daniel Humair released on MPS in 1971.

The brilliant French Hammond organist and pianist Eddy Louiss worked with the likes of Kenny Clarke, Jean-Luc Ponty, and Stan Getz; reed player John Surman and drummer Daniel Humair have long been major forces on the European scene. Louiss also recorded the title piece on Stan Getz’s Dynasty album – here the trio presents a wilder version with fiery solos from Surman’s baritone and Louiss on Hammond. This trio likes their Sabi hot with a Spanish tinge. On the Martinique folk song Zafe Ko Ida, the great Norwegian bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pederson joins Louiss on Marimba and Humair on drums, keeping with the tradition of the Caribbean before Eddy switches to piano and the three transform the sound of the islands into swinging jazz....

Live In Berlin 1971 by Weather Report, released by GAD Records in 2023.

The recording was produced as part of a series of jazz workshops organized by NDR radio in Hamburg. The workshops brought together the most prominent creators in the European jazz circle and beyond. Weather Report's participation in this extraordinary endeavor, overseen by Michael Naura, was a major attraction of the "Berlin Radio Show." The musicians not only prepared a short performance for television but also played a full-length concert at the Haus des Rundfunks in West Berlin and it is this recording of September 3, 1971, that fills the two discs of Live in Berlin 1971.

With Special Guests
Eje Thelin: Trombone
Alan Skidmore: Flute, Tenor & Soprano Saxophones
John Surman: Soprano & Baritone Saxophone, Clarinet
