Bill Bruford: The Winterfold Collection 1978-1986
by John Kelman
It's often easy to judge artists based on where they are now, but when you have a recorded legacy as rich as that of Bill Bruford, it's far better to view the body of work as a whole. As divergent as the intrepid percussionist/composer/bandleader's career has been, there are common threads running through all his work, making the earlier, electrified and amplified material on this Winterfold Collection fit contextually as a logical antecedent to his more recent unplugged and improvisation-centric ...

by Ludovico Granvassu
The spirit of the masters, the roots of each music tradition, are like ghosts that accompany a musician's creative process, with more or less awareness based on the musician's disposition. This is the premise directly explored by Michael Wollny in his latest album, and indirectly explored by every other musician featured on this show, which spotlights Annette Peacock, both as a musician ahead of her time and a muse to many. Happy listening! Playlist Ben Allison ...

by John Kelman
With the plethora of box sets being issued these days with new masters and, perhaps even more importantly, new mixes of classic recordings, it was inevitable that the small but significant discography of drummer Bill Bruford's first steps into a solo career with his band Bruford should finally get the deluxe treatment. Seems Like a Lifetime Ago 1977-1980 not only covers the three studio and one live recording that this at-the-time completely unexpected and utterly distinctive surprise of a group ...

Torna finalmente disponibile su CD uno degli album più importanti e criminalmente misconosciuti di tutta la storia della musica del secolo scorso. I'm the One è il primo album solista di Annette Peacock e spiega perfettamente la grandissima fascinazione che questa artista fuori dal tempo e allo stesso tempo perfettamente in linea coi tempi, ha esercitato su tanti artisti e sui pochi fortunati che conoscono la sua scarna produzione, difficilmente reperibile. L'album è stato registrato negli studi della RCA di ...

by John Kelman
The DVD release of Rock Goes to College (Winterfold, 2006), by drummer Bill Bruford's late-1970s band Bruford, was greeted with considerable excitement. Featuring Hatfield and the North/National Health keyboardist Dave Stewart and über-bassist Jeff Berlin, the group only played a couple of live dates with original guitarist Allan Holdsworth, who left shortly afterwards and was replaced by “The Unknown John Clarke. One of those performances was recorded by the BBC for television broadcast and, while it's a scant 42-minutes long, ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo delizioso album segna il debutto della Ironic Records US, la casa discografica personale di Annette Peacock, emanazione americana della casa discografica che Annette aveva creato negli anni ottanta in Inghilterra, all'epoca del suo ventennale soggiorno nel Regno Unito. Allora l'etichetta era servita per tenere in vita la produzione di una delle più importanti voci che l'arte americana ha prodotto. Una voce che rischiava e rischia di scomparire per l'idiosincrasia istintiva che non le permette di avere rapporti con l'industria ...

by AAJ Staff
The release of Annette Peacock's first CD in 12 years certainly is a cause for celebration for a number of reasons. She hasn't led an album since she recorded “Abstract-Contact on the Ironic label (such an appropriate label name for Peacock's music!), although she performed on Marilyn Crispell's CD, “Nothing ever was, anyway." Due to her reclusiveness and uncompromising devotion to her art, very little has been heard from Peacock until the present release of “An Acrobat's Heart," which was ...
