I love the Moraz & Bruford stuff. There's also a live album.

It Feels Good to me to have listened to the last of Bill Bruford's One of a Kind albums today, and I'm Gradually Going Tornado with a Curved Air binge starting tomorrow. Smile

I was In Two Minds whether to give the Bruford & Borstlap album 2 stars or 3 stars, because on the one hand, it's very technically proficient - just as you'd expect - but on the other hand, it's not an album I'd want to listen to again, even though I generally like listening to Jazz. Confused

 This bizarre improvisational album sounds like it could have featured on Louis Balfour's Jazz Club, which is not good. Thumbs Down

Well he trained as a jazz drummer and that's fairly obvious from the way he plays.

Blimey you've given an album two stars, it must be real bad.

In my opinion, it’s really good! I love this album! 😄🥰❤️

Me too.

The B.L.U.E. album is just too extreme and experimental for my reserved tastes. I'm listening to the album right now, but I'll be glad when it's finally over. If you like Cerulean Sea - posted above - then you'll probably like the album as a whole, but it's not an album I'd ever want to listen to again.  Confused
