bruford has consistently surrounded himself with the best musicians of each generation and style - since the 70s - he can do this because he is the best most musical percussionist/drummer/bandlead­er of modern days

[blondeandblue]

is there nothing Bill Bruford can't or won't play on the drums man?

[bigwm]

This is a stella lineup! Nice to see Laurence with the GB bass, although he seems to favour his Yamaha nowadays. Finding this interview incredibly insightful.

This is the first time I've heard bebop-style jazz in 15/8.

[MrSteveEllis]

Bruford is class A!!! Period!

[testerhickey]

He's got huge LIPS

Anyone else thinking this has some Sonny Rollins Carnival flavor?

[putte2006]

Laurence Cottle? didnt he paly bass on the headless cross album by black sabbath?

[galier2]

Libreville is the capital of Gabon. He's not that far though, as the capital of Sierra Leone is Freetown which means the same.

I want to hear the version with the three Azerbaijani nose flute players!

Seriously, I love what they did with this. It sounds so fresh, and the sax is pure genius. The ending too, perfect! One of those 'Bruford moments' that makes you feel warm inside.
