Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Really excellent news can be found on Bill Bruford's personal website, 
that at last the 1979 television recording of Bruford, on the Rock Goes To 
College series, is about to be released on DVD. Hurrah!!! how long have we been
hoping for a commercial release of this? Contains the classic line-up 
at Surrey Unversity: Bill Bruford, Allan Holdsworth, Jeff Berlin, David
Stewart, with Annette Peacock guesting. One can hope the Old Grey 
Whisle Test recording of two tunes by Bruford will get released sooner or 
later now - i.e. the recording where somebody had to deput for Berlin.

BBC Four last year reshowed the Herbie Hancock performance from the Rock Goes To
College series  recorded at the former Chelsea College, London
Unversity in the late 70's. The recording quality was excellent, so here's hoping more 
of the same with Bruford.
