John Surman, who plays the baritone saxophone, has acquired an international reputation as a jazz musician and so spends much of his time abroad. In conversation with Roy Plomley, he talks about the various groups he has formed like SOS and the Brass Project, about his work as a composer, including that for the Carolyn Carlson Dance Theatre at the Paris Opera, and he chooses the eight records he would take to the mythical island.
