I must admit, I wasn't expecting Bill Bruford's albums to be quite so jazzy, but as Louis Balfour says on Jazz Club, Jazz is a constantly progressive, constantly evolving musical art form. Nice!

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

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

^ and ^^^ I actually love his collaborations with Michel Borstlap. No, it's not prog, it's jazz, but I think it is wonderful. Their live Every Step a Dance, Every Word a Song is wonderful too. There is a decently prized re-edition of all these (3 CDs, one DVD) that I bought last year via the Burning Shed (pre Brexit, thus) - very worth while. These, with One of a Kind and Feels Good to Me are my preferred Bruford albums... Edit: oh, with the Bruford/Levin albums, I must add...

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.

^ Question: might this have to do with your listening habits? I mean, I understand you have some kind of binge-listening strategy (all of Wakeman in a row, all of whichwhateverother band in a row...). My choice of listening to music is much more determined by my moods. I won't listen to Bruford/Borstlap at any moment as I don't want to listen to Yes all in a row. I think we appreciate specific music better when it corresponds to the mood of the moment and on other days we might appreciate it less, just because of a change of mood...

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.
