Bill Bruford - The Summerfold Collection 1987-2008 (2009)

2009 two CD release, a collection of 22of the best tracks from across twelve Summerfold albums, and features music from an eclectic range of artists including Bill Bruford's Earthworks, Michiel Borstlap, Ralph Towner, Tim Garland and World Drummers Ensemble. If you're unfamiliar with his work, key tracks such as 'My Heart Declares A Holiday', 'Stromboli Kicks', 'Kinship', 'From The Source We Tumble Headlong' and 'Baye Kene N'Diaye' will act as an excellent introduction to the Jazz side of Bill Bruford, an enduring master-drummer and one of the most innovative players of his generation. Bill Bruford's name is synonymous with state-of-the-art drumming and percussion, and is famously associated with several of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time: Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, and UK. But it is as a solo artist and leader that he really had room to stretch and develop as an all-rounder. Voiceprint.
