John Surman Quotes

I�m afraid there is this quest for novelty and new projects, whereas I think a lot of pieces, like Proverbs and Songs benefit from being performed. The more we�ve played it, the looser it�s got, the more it�s revealed, the more freedom. But people say, why don�t you write something else? But for me, it�s a case of �Wait a minute!� This isn�t a set piece of music that will be performed the same way every time. It�s a piece that�s living and if you don�t keep playing it, it won�t go anywhere.�
