Bruford's Earthworks, Bill

Video Anthology Vol.1 & 2

Vol 1 - This 155" DVD is the first in a two volume anthology of concert footage of Bill Brufords Earthworks, one of the longest lived, best travelled and most original jazz quartets. This volume chronicles the bands progress through the 2000s; volume 2 does the same for the 1990s. Filmed on tour in the United States in 2001, Argentina in 2002 and Germany in 2005, this DVD also includes three previously unrecorded tracks, and marks the debut performance of bassist Laurence Cottle and pianist Gwilym Simcock with the group. Vol 2 - This 85-minute DVD is the second in a two-volume anthology of previously unreleased concert footage of Bill Brufords Earthworks, one of the longest lived, best travelled and most original jazz quartets. This volume chronicles the bands progress through the 1990s from its electronic start to its acoustic renaissance; volume 1 does the same for the 2000s. The group was originated as a vehicle for Brufords unusual and innovative use of electronic percussion, and did much to challenge perceptions about what a drummer should, or should not, be doing in jazz. Filmed on tour in Germany 1991, Japan 1991 and Bulgaria 1999, Earthworks continues to offer a platform to the brightest and best young players, and has become a "potential model for the 21st century Jazz mainstream' (Chicago Reader).
