John Surman is an English jazz saxophone, bass clarinet and synthesizer player, and composer of free jazz and modal jazz, often using themes from folk music as a basis. Many of the musical relationships he established during the 1970s have continued to the present. These include a quartet with pianist John Taylor, bassist Chris Laurence, and drummer John Marshall; duets and other projects with Norwegian singer Karin Krog; and duets and other projects with American drummer/pianist Jack DeJohnette. Other musicians he has worked with include bassist Miroslav Vitous, bandleader Gil Evans, pianist Paul Bley and Vigleik Storaas, guitarists Terje Rypdal and John Abercrombie and trumpeter Tomasz Stańko. In recent years he has composed several suites of music that feature his playing in unusual contexts, including with church organ and chorus (Proverbs and Songs, 1996); with a classical string quintet (Coruscating); and with the London Brass and Jack DeJohnette (Free and Equal, 2001). - wikipedia

Rumor has it that I gots a Lil Un and I’m gay.
By U L E on Dec 6, 2020
Thank you for this! Could we start a “Go Fund Me” so we could raise $5 so U L E could go and buy himself a life?
By Luis Torregrosa on Dec 6, 2020
That wasn’t the real U L E Luis. He never says he’s a homo . It’s one of his imposters trolling him . All of them are nitwits.
By T J on Dec 6, 2020
Twernt me above nuther fake
By U L E on Dec 6, 2020
Rumor has it this was a band of two Big Uns and one Lil Un
By U L E on Dec 6, 2020
Twernt me above . I like to post about penises . Getting buttfucked by men don’t make me gay
By U L E on Dec 6, 2020
My Lil Un shrivels up with a Big Un up my ass
By U L E on Dec 6, 2020
Thanks for defending me , TJ . I wish that I could suck your penis
By U L E on Dec 6, 2020
All fakes cept the second and third comment . Not gay . Just stating facts . Fakes run amok here and not just my name . Got wife and kids
By U L E on Dec 6, 2020
Fakes ? Absolutely. There are actually people here who can’t tell the difference. This U L E idiot is a moron , but so are all of the name stealers . As I’ve said in the past , they must be middle schoolers , or retarded old men living in Moms basement with laptops .i still think Hebrew Mark is one of them .
By HHH on Dec 6, 2020
David , or dd , and derrick. Where have you guys been ? Haven’t heard much from you lately. I.guess you’re sick of the name stealing too . Anyway, just as I called it , looks like the corpse, Joe Blow Biden is already being criticized by the far left socialists in the Democratic Party for his cabinet picks . They want the AOC,s Towelhead Omar’s , and the rest of the squad types in cabinet positions. Pelosi and Chucky Wuckey Schumer were mainly concerned with getting rid of Orange face , and now it’s on to phase two . Turning America Into a socialist/ communist country .
By HHH on Dec 6, 2020
Did you see Joe Blow and that mixed banshee Kamala Harris joint interview on tv ? The corpse was stuttering and slirring his words , his dementia very obvious. Kamala was smiling as she watched . She is Biden her time which probably won’t be long . The. Socialism can begin . Open borders, defunding police , voting rights and free medical for illegals, confiscating your all in the family and Sanford and son DVDs and Blue rays . Kamala time is coming and sooner that you’d think .
By HHH on Dec 6, 2020
The NFL or nigger football league continues on despite all of the positive covid tests . The greedy owners and that dumbass commissioner Goodell are more concerned about profit and loss than safety. The black ape players are acting with their typical jungle gorilla behavior. Guys is it just me or is it true that none of these players has gotten very sick ? Same with all the people in Trumps cabinet who tested positive. No one ever seems to get really sick . That’s why many people think covid is overblown.
By HHH on Dec 6, 2020
Hhh , I’m still here , like you said sick of all the assholes here who don’t care what happens to the country. If that Harris bitch becomes president I’m leaving the country. I still can’t believe we have Muslims in Congress. What’s wrong with this country. Also the election was rigged . They wanted trump out .
By Nelson on Dec 6, 2020
I think that jew piece of shit George Soros is behind everything myself . That guy is very powerful. He wants America to be socialist. He paid people to throw the election. Biden is just a Trojan horse . Running Harris or one of them squad members would have been too obvious. Biden will probably croak in office then the shit will fly
By Nelson on Dec 6, 2020
That Cortez bitch and her female friends like that Muslim need to be deported . But it’s not going to happen. If the demos win those two Georgia senate seats were screwed .
By Nelson on Dec 6, 2020
Glad you’re still here Nelson . I’ve said the same thing myself about George Soros. He does everything behind the scenes . As for the election being fixed ? I think it’s possible. But you also have stupid black apes and illegal immigrants voting . It’s interested that Trump was way ahead in so many states and then practically every late vote was for Biden . That’s very fishy.
By HHH on Dec 6, 2020
Thanks for backing me up , hhh .
By U L E on Dec 6, 2020
Me and Derrick are outta here. You old fogies triple h and nelson, you’ve got nothing new to say. You’re like two old scratched records continually stuck in the same groove, coming out with the same boring old rhetoric.
By DD on Dec 6, 2020
I’m pretty sure that’s not the real DD / david .
By HHH on Dec 6, 2020
I’m still here too triple h . Just layin low these days that’s all . Too many motherfuckin. Dic suckin, coon and hi Yeller lovin Jew bastard name hijackers here these days , plus all that queer and faggot talk . Guess David duke or dd is sic of it too . The country’s fucked man . Wait till that hi Yeller bitch takes office . Biden looks like a walking dead man
By Derrick on Dec 6, 2020
Hated trump , but this Biden Harris shit is way worse . The men in the white sheets ain’t here to save us
By Derrick on Dec 6, 2020
As for the nfl . Ain’t been keeping up wit it much . Don’t miss watching them coon and hi Yeller monkeys act like animals. Wit that virus they should just shut down the season anyway. But them owners want to make as much dough as they can . They don’t give a shit who gets sic
By Derrick on Dec 6, 2020
Rumor has it that Derrick ain’t got Un at all . Poor bastard
By U L E on Dec 6, 2020
That ain’t true ! You pull this shit out of your asshole and expect us to believe it . 2″ is better than nothing ! Hi Yeller lovin Jew bastard name hijackers here these days , plus all those queers and faggots talkin . No one buys it !
By Derrick on Dec 7, 2020
Indubitably Derrick . As usual , you’re spot on . The name highjacking retreads are in high gear . None of us are fooled by their shenanigans . Your exceptional detective work has foiled more of their nefarious plans to disrupt our civil discussions .
By HHH on Dec 7, 2020
HH, What’s a shenanigan? I thought I had one but it’s really Hi Yeller.
By Derrick on Dec 7, 2020
Indubitably!
By Derrick on Dec 7, 2020
I suck tons of coc. Any of you dudes want a blow job?
By Corey M on Dec 7, 2020
I shit my pants every day. That’s the way I roll.
By HHH on Dec 7, 2020
I know that ain’t you triple h . You never talk about your pants shittin problem here
By Derrick on Dec 7, 2020
Sadly it is Derrick. Might have to have an operation to cure my problem.
By HHH on Dec 8, 2020
Thanks for posting this fantastic concert. Very clear sound
By Triojazz on Dec 8, 2020
the imposter ‘baby swappers’ ‘mock swappers’ et al trolls abounding is obsessing again . . . . poor lil dear heart. I guess I ought to be flattered
And all the while I am living free inside his deceased lil mind . . . . . (if he had a brain cell it would be awful lonesome!)
and he thinks I’M projecting . . . . ha ha ha ha ha ha
By the real swappers on Dec 9, 2020
Thanks for this. Great concert. There’s not enough of this group around so it’s much needed. Incidentally, back in the early 70s, they were billed as The Trio. It wasn’t just Surman’s band. All three were almost always doing something. But I have to say The Trio wasn’t the greatest name for a band. But they were a great band.
