Review by Luisana Romero

Anglo Sax, the album by John Surman, is a masterful exploration of the saxophone and its place in the world of jazz. Surman, a British saxophonist, explores the rich history of the instrument and its roots in Anglo-Saxon culture.

The album features Surman on a variety of saxophones, including the soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophone. He is joined by a talented group of musicians, including pianist John Taylor, bassist Chris Laurence, and drummer John Marshall. Together, they create a rich, textured sound that is both modern and timeless.

The album's opening track, "Canter N. 1," sets the tone for the rest of the album. It is a haunting, ethereal piece that showcases Surman's skill on the soprano saxophone. The album's other tracks are equally impressive, with each one showcasing Surman's virtuosity on a different saxophone.
