Hazy <BR><BR>Bruford and Moraz&#213;s roots and influences lie in jazz and it was in the mid eighties that the two musicians came together to record two albums of eclectic drum and keyboard based music. Both Music For Piano And Drums and flags were well-received and included diverse material such as the Max Roach composition This Drum Also Waltzes and self-written material like Living Space.<BR><BR>Disc B<BR>MORAZ, BRUFORD - FLAGS<BR><BR>TRACKLIST:<BR>1.

Everything You&#213;ve Heard is True<BR>11. Eastern Sundays<BR>12. Children&#213;s Concerto<BR>13. Galatea <BR><BR>Although neither Bill or Patrick played together at the same time in Yes both musicians have a great love and more importantly an understanding of Jazz and these talents are heard to great effect on the album Flags. Originally released in 1985 following Moraz's split from the moody Blues and a period when King Crimson was in hibernation Bruford and Moraz turn in a stellar performance on an album of original material written either by Patrick Moraz or written by both Moraz and Bruford. There is however one cover and that is the Max Roach composition The Drum Also Waltzes.<BR><BR>Disc C<BR>BRUFORD-BORSTLAP - EVERY STEP A DANCE, EVERY WORD A AONG<BR><BR>TRACKLIST:<BR>1. The 16 Kingdoms of the 5 Barbarians <BR>2. Bemsha Swing <BR>3. Inhaling Shade <BR>4. One Big Vamp <BR>5. Round Midnight <BR>6. (Announcement) <BR>7. Every Step A Dance, Every Word A Song <BR>8. Stand On Zanzibar <BR>9. Swansong <BR><BR>Michiel Borstlap is a world-renowned jazz pianist who has also worked with many great jazz musicians over the years, most notably with Jimmy Haslip, Toots Thielmans, and Pat Metheny.<BR><BR>These recordings are taken from a personal archive of the dates the Bruford-Borstlap duo have played since their first meeting at the Nijmegen Festival in Holland, in 2002. The nature of the music is conversational. In a small room, where most of the tracks were recorded, this may have the intimacy of a dinner table conversation between old friends ( 'Round Midnight, Every Step ). But in a big hall, things may quite naturally become a lot more muscular and assertive ( 16 Kingdoms, Swansong ). They are quite capable of sounding like a band with three times as many people in it, yet at no time do they lose authorship, identity, or immediacy.<BR><BR>The title of this album sets the scene for the pure pleasure found in these recordings, which ably display the passion both Bruford and Borstlap have for free expression and spontaneous performance. Released for the first time on CD these performances will appeal not only to fans of both Bill Bruford and Michiel Borstlap but also to all lovers of cutting edge, spontaneous music of any genre.<BR></P> <P> <LI>SKU: BBPAC1 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/bruford/Category20" TITLE="Bruford's Packets of Three">Bruford's Packets of Three</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bruford/Product101 TITLE="Bruford's Packet of Two - The Percussion Ensembles">Bruford's Packet of Two - The Percussion Ensembles</A> -- Drumheads only!
