Bill Bruford: The Winterfold Collection 1978-1986

Read "Bill Bruford: The Winterfold Collection 1978-1986" reviewed 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 ...

Annette Peacock, Christina Galisatus, Paul Bley, Michael Wollny & New Releases

Read "Annette Peacock, Christina Galisatus, Paul Bley, Michael Wollny & New Releases" reviewed 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 ...

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 ...

Bruford: Rock Goes to College

Read "Rock Goes to College" reviewed 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, ...

Annette Peacock: An Acrobat's Heart

Read "An Acrobat's Heart" reviewed 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 ...
