Bill Bruford's Earthworks - Youth from Anthology Vol1 DVD

"Youth" from Bill Bruford's Earthworks from the DVD Anthology Vol 1. available spring 2007 from www.voiceprint.co.uk
Bill Bruford's Earthworks, a uniquely British institution, has been turning heads on the international jazz scene now for 20 years. The band has consistently offered a platform to the best and brightest young players, presided over by a leader with unparalleled experience as a drummer, composer, and leader.This two-volume Video Anthology splits the band's career to date into two separate decades, roughly marking its transition from an electronic to an acoustic outfit. Volume 1 represents the work of the later and current "acoustic" editions of the band in the 2000s, and Volume 2 mostly represents the "electronic" origins of the group in the 1990s. Both volumes come with Dave McKean artwork and a 12 page booklet chronicling critical reaction at the time, and all material has been selected and supervised personally by Bill.

Tracks on Volume 1:
Triplicity
Original Sin
Cloud Cuckoo Land
Revel Without a Pause
Bajo del Sol
Tramontana
Beelzebub
Footloose and Fancy Free
Libreville
Highland Games
Youth

damn! this drummer does the job perfectly in every style he has played.

[PearlMasterStudio713]

This is freakin' tight. Bruford is so tasteful. He's the unsung hero of progressive drumming

[SAHBfan]

Somehow I managed to miss Bill Bruford playing live, despite being a fan.

I always figured I'd get to see him one day soon... then he retired ^_^

Damn.

[cyberspace123]

cool drumming - nice to se and hear Bruford play real drums not those "fake" electrical

[hedgepigs]

Great band, love the number, but what is up with the director? Why am I watching Mr. B playing time (although, of course, he does it beautifully) over the majority of the bass solo? I understand that it's Bill's band, but come on... BTW, any one know what bass Laurence is playing?

[AlmostEthical]

Crack band! Their timing is otherworldly to me.

[Jonnern]

Oh my god. Just realized Bruford looks like Chick Corea.

[eddiemoon]

Bruford is one of Fishman's (of Phish) influences.
