Private City is a solo album by English saxophonist John Surman, recorded in December 1987 and released on ECM the following year.
AllMusic awarded the album four stars, with reviewer Michael G. Nastos stating: "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]
