Bill Bruford - Michiel Borstlap - Game of Chess

Game of Chess 
From the Voiceprint DVD Bruford-Borstlap 'Live in Holland' featuring Michiel Borstlap on piano and keyboard electronics, Bill Bruford on drums.
This was the first public performance of this group - filmed here for Dutch national TV. Pianist Michiel Borstlap won the 1996 of the Thelonious Monk Composer's Award and has had his music recorded by Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter.
Neither quite rock, nor quite jazz, both musicians believe in a music with immediacy, with authorship, and without boundaries or safety nets. A new CD is in production. This DVD available at www.voiceprint.co.uk

You hit the nail on the head. I was just looking at another Bruford clip here on Youtube where someone was complaining about his lack of dynamics. Bill has always known about dynamics, or as he would say, " The way the tide comes and goes".

(I had to express my feelings and share it the world...)

here i go...

before to me, you were just too complicated and even boring to listen to, now I can't even stop submerging my self to you and your music playing, you are just too exciting and out of this era at this moment in TIME, that I believe musicians and ordinary people can't understand what you portray or put out there (or here), because it is too damn ahead of time! Bruford, you flatter inspire me! BRUFORD!

[Rhonnzo]

@livefordrum aaaaaa!! me alocan estos comentarios tan profundos y chingones y que siendo un fan de Bill casi toda mi vida, no puedo parar de inspirarme a leer cada fan y antifan y me impulsa a contestarles con mi expresion de ser a ustedes!
