Known for his ringing metal snare drum, nippy cymbal turn, and hang for complex time signatures, a young Bruford came to prominence in the late '60s with Yes. The drummer completed his British art stone trilogy by in short connectedness Genesis in the 1970s and outgo a quarter-century with King Crimson through the belated '90s. In 'tween King Crimson dates, Bruford lED a glaring self-titled jazz fusion solo band from 1978 to 1980 that featured guitar player Allan Holdsworth, bassist Jeff Berlin, and keyboardist Dave Stewart. And tied as he leads his illusionist jazz band, Bill Bruford's Earthworks, he maintains a life history as a academic term drummer (with artists like guitarists Al DiMeola and David Torn, bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma, and keyboardist Patrick Moraz). During one of King Crimson drawing card Robert Fripp's several lineup-shifting hiatuses in Bruford's 1972-1997 land tenure, the drummer formed his self-titled Earthworks dance band in 1986. On its 1987 Earthworks debut album, Bruford often used electric Simmons drums to contrast acoustic french horn players Iain Ballamy and Django Bates and erect bassist Mick Hutton, achieving the polar of the monetary standard card where drums ar the entirely acoustic instrument. Subsequent releases like 1989's Dig out? and 1991's All Heaven Broke Loose continued this forward-thinking trend, blend acoustic and electric instrumentation and loose words ideology with unequivocal undertones. But by 1993's live Stamping Ground, Bruford had replaced Hutton with electric/acoustic bassist Tim Harries and was using keyboard-pitched electrical chordal drums, the combined resultant role macrocosm a more hefty and melville Weston Fuller good. Bruford continued recording and touring with King Crimson through 1997, releasing the Earthworks compiling Heavenly Bodies just as he depart the venerable john Rock isthmus with which he'd had his longest land tenure. It would evidence to be a transitional year, as Bruford recorded a idle words chamber trio solo CD called If Summer Had Its Ghosts with legendary idle words figures Ralph Towner (guitar/piano) and Eddie Gomez (acoustic bass part). Between explorative electrical recordings with bassist and colleague King Crimson alum Tony Levin, Bruford kept Earthworks finisher to the chamber jazz modal value on the 1999 CD A Part and Yet Apart. Likewise, the lineup of Bruford, saxist Patrick Clahar, piano player Steve Hamilton, and bassist Mark Hodgson started the new millenary with the 2001 CD The Sound of Surprise, an spectacular blend of jazz tradition and forward-thinking changeover. |
