Bill Bruford's Earthworks - Dig? (Edice 2021)

Formát: CD, Album, Reissue
Žánr: Jazz

• With Earthworks second album, Dig?, Bill Bruford began to be accepted, on a broader level, as a jazz drummer, even though his roots in the style go right back to his formative years.
• Bruford had found players who were clearly familiar with the jazz tradition, even as they pursued ways to break it down and reconstruct it in new and unusual ways.
• Earthworks’ second and best release features young Turks Ballamy and Bates and a new bassist, Tim Harries, who replaces Mick Hutton.
• Tunes are by everybody and Tony Hatch (the latter a mutant arrangement of Downtown by Bates which will not be entering the top 40).
• This edition has two bonus tracks in addition – Emotional Shirt and Pigalle – culled from the band’s live appearances.
• This album has been out of print for some time. This re-release is on Bruford’s own Summerfold Records and was overseen personally by him.
