COTM - Feature #197 - Bill Bruford
Greetings friends. This week on Corner of the Mooniverse is one of progressive rock's elite percussionists. His exploration of his craft is so much deeper than most, but he is certainly not the only ground-breaking percussionist. His forage further into Jazz, Jazz-rock and Fusion strengthens my appreciation for his craftsmanship.
I have two full albums for your pleasure along with a few other tracks. The albums are The Buford Tapes from 1979 and Gradually Going Tornado released in 1980. I'll be pulling a track from An Introduction to Summerfold Records for an interesting interview segment. He's quite the philosopher about his trade. I also pull a couple of tracks with Buford Levin Upper Extremities entitled Blue Nights. It was released in 2000. It is a Fusion group Bruford formed with bassist Tony Levin, Trumpeter Chris Botti, and Guitarist David Torn. They have a self-titled studio album as well, but this album was recorded live.
I think this will give you a small glimpse into his many talents outside of Yes and King Crimson and how he changed and nurtured Progressive Rock.
I do hope you can drop in tonight, Friday, Feb. 20 @ 9pm (est).
If you can't, we rebroadcast this feature on Monday @ noon and Wednesday @ 0500 e.s.t. (that one is for the folks across the pond).
See you on the radio.
