Road to Saint Ives is a solo album by the English saxophonist John Surman, recorded in 1990 and released on the ECM label.[1]
Reception
The Allmusic review by Stacia Proefrock awarded the album 4 stars stating it was "a gentle, introspective, yet adventurous solo work. The entire album is a one-man effort, from the composition to all of the instrumentation, with Surman building strata of sound over keyboard and percussion structures using bass clarinet and the soprano and bass saxophones he is known for. The resulting work communicates a unique vision and mood, unsullied by the conflicting interpretations of other performers".[2]
