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! Thumbs Up

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. Thumbs Down

^ 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. Confused

^ 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. Smile

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