Bill Bruford ( of Yes, King Crimson, Moraz/Bruford, and solo
fame ) has done it again :
Bill Bruford's "EARTHWORKS" achieves a new level of jazz
virtuosity. He has continued to improve and improvise on
an otherwise "Dead Sea" of musical innovation and prowess.
EARTHWORKS employs Bruford on drums ( acoustic and electronic )
Iain Ballamy on saxophones
Django Bates on keyboards and trumpet
Mick Hutton on acoustic bass.
It is a contemporary modern jazz, not entirely fusion, and not
entirely mainstream, with African / Middle Eastern / European
influences, very HOT stuff.
It's on Editions EG, AAD, made in the USA ... $ 15 - 16 US Dollars.
Enjoy !!

Bruford has also recently worked with guitarist David Torn
on his ECM release "Cloud About Mercury." Also on the recording
are Tony Levin and Mark Isham.
As the music is difficult to describe, I won't. If you appreciate
any of these musicians, it could very well be worth your while.

There is also the fantastic Editions EG CD of Bill Bruford's Greatest
Hits titled :
Bill Bruford, The Master Strokes, 1977-1986
It contains songs from Feels Good to Me
One of a Kind
Gradually Going Tornado
Music for Drum and Piano * (acoustic)
Flags * (electronic keyboards - Kurzweil)
* = Patick Moraz and Bruford
All the solo albums feature Allan Holdsworth and John Clark on guitar,
Jeff Berlin on bass and Dave Stewart on keyboards. It is over 60
minutes and a very good CD bargain.
Flags is also out on CD, and is very nice.
