Private City is a solo album by English saxophonist John Surman, recorded in December 1987 and released on ECM the following year.
Reception
AllMusic awarded the album four stars, with reviewer Michael G. Nastos stating: "This album, a fully realized project, has Surman exploiting all of the timbres and tones available to him in a manner he could not accomplish with other musicians in real time. It's a full exploration of his soul, from land, sea, and outer atmospheric galaxies, on wings of supersonic fancy and fantasy."[1]
