Westering Home is the ninth album by English saxophonist John Surman recorded in 1972 and released on the Island label.

John Surman - Westering Home (1972). Songs in album John Surman - Westering Home (1972).

Westering Home captures British reedist John Surman at his most melodic and soulful, channeling the audacity of previous outings to create music that's still daring but with a new emphasis on structure, texture and tone. The album is vividly experimental yet deeply intimate - while previous LPs like How Many Clouds Can You See? seemed fascinated with the reaches of sound, here Surman turns inward to explore the heart and mind.

Westering Home ‎(CD, Album, RE, RM). Fledg'ling Records. I’m just wondering what makes this FMR release of Westering Home unofficial. Is it because FMR released it but failed to obtain all the proper licenses, or did some bootlegger press up unsanctioned copies of this CD using the FMR logo without permission in an effort to make it appear legitimate? Is it a transcription from an LP?

John Surman: Westering Home by Roger Farbey, published on June 7, 2016. Originally released on Chris Blackwell's Island Records, John Surman's first solo album was a complete departure from his previous works. It presaged the canon of pastoral solo recordings he was to produce later for ECM in contrast to his more robust and conventionally orchestrated recordings. His second and final album for Island, Morning Glory, a year later, was a reversion to the dynamic manifestations to which Surman had been hitherto associated.
