Private City is a solo album by English saxophonist John Surman, released on the ECM label in 1987.


Reception

Allmusic awarded the album with 4 stars and its review by Michael G. Nastos states: "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]
