Tales of the Algonquin is an album by jazz saxophonists John Surman and John Warren recorded in 1971 and released on the Deram label.
Reception
John Kelman in his All About Jazz review states: "The music ranges from brashly swinging full-section charts like 'With Terry's Help,' where Surman's powerful soprano solo demonstrates just how quickly he'd evolved into a singular voice, to the more delicately balladic and Gil Evans-inflected 'The Dandelion'. Despite the scripting inherent in this kind of large ensemble work, there's a refreshing looseness and sense of unfettered exploration throughout."
