The Traveller's Tale - John Surman / John Warren Brass Project


A Lark Ascending

Recommended Posts

From an e-mail from Fledg'ling Records (who put out Morning Glory and Westering Home a while back):

Early in 2017 we will release The Traveller's Tale a previously unreleased suite of tunes composed by JOHN WARREN and recorded live in June 1993 by the John Surman / John Warren Brass Project.

Seems to be from the same year as the ECM release by the same band. Might be some of the same music. 

There must be a fair few of these MIA suites from Brit jazz musicians - From the 70s onward I recall hearing Kenny Wheeler and John Taylor on the radio and live performing suites that never surfaced as recordings (until the noughties that group of musicians released very infrequently). I remember hearing a Hardy suite on the radio by Surman and a larger band - some of those pieces pop up on his ECMs. It may just be that the suites were for convenience - tended to attract more attention from the UK 'Arts' bodies for whom a suite suggested something 'serious' and therefore worthy of a grant.

Given the archaeology at work on Tubby Hayes live legacy maybe we'll see some more in the future by other musicians. This gives some hope.
