Upon Reflection is a solo album by English reed player and composer John Surman, recorded in May 1979 and released on ECM later that same year.[1]
Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow called the album "an atmospheric solo set that utilizes overdubbing (although leaving space for unaccompanied solo sections)... Fortunately there is enough variety in this generally quiet music to hold one's interest."[2]
