Bruford Levin Upper Extremities
Details
The music is what you might expect when King Crimson's rhythm section blends with David Torn's outer space looping, held together by Chris Botti's Miles-like cool melodic sense on the horn. Pieces vary from ballads to heavy rocking ones - with one total improv, titled President's Day. Tying the tracks together are some excerpts of Bruford drumming on the derelict piano.
Musicians:
Bill Bruford - drums.
Chris Botti - trumpet.
David Torn - guitars, loops, bansuri, wierd eerie things.
Tony Levin - Stick, NS Electric Upright, and an NS/Taos Drums creation called a DrumBass.
