Customer Reviews of Bill Bruford - Footloose in New York City
Being There and more This DVD brings the jazz lover to the Bottom Line in NYC for an amazing concert as well as behind the scene interviews. Really amazing.
Earthworks at its finest
Minimal production issues aside, this DVD captures the essence of why Earthworks is so fantastic to see live, and why its fearless leader is fast becoming known as "Britain's Art Blakey." Bruford returns to his jazz roots with the second incarnation of Earthworks, which now has two studio discs and one (double) live CD to its credit. These releases feature the best young jazz talent on the London club scene, from Mark Hodgson's sinewy bass lines and Steve Hamilton's effortless brilliance on piano to Patrick Clahar's intricate soprano and tenor sax melodies. Gone are the chordal drums and heavy reliance on keyboards, yet Bruford and company play with the precision of a fusion group and the soul of famed jazzmen such as Dave Brubeck. Bruford has indeed found his groove.
Recorded in 2001 at London's Pizza Express Jazz Club, the DVD relies heavily on the "Sound of Surprise" studio CD, with selected tracks from 1999's "A Part, and Yet Apart." Bruford also throws in one older audience favorite, "Bridge of Inhibition," for good measure as a sizzling finale. This middle-eastern flavored piece showcases the ensemble's collective and individual talents to almost dizzying heights.
For those not fortunate enough to have seen them, or for diehard fans who miss their periodic dose of live Bruford, this recording will prove to be an invaluable part of your collection.
Sizzling Live Jazz Recording Caught On Video
This live performance by Bill Bruford's Earthworks smokes, sizzles, and catches fire. Never mind that the video quality is not pristine... the music more than makes up for it. It's like listening to a great recording of sizzling live jazz performance, with the bonus of being able to see the musicians as they create it. The sometimes "lo-fi" video quality just adds to the atmosphere of what it might have been like to be at the club the night this was captured. And the price of the DVD is less than that of most CDs! If you like authentic acoustic jazz mixed with modern bop stylings, and superb musicianship & composition, you will love this.
