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. Early success subsequently propelled Bill, by nature a restless innovator uncomfortable with the well-worn path, into a fascinating 41-year career as a bandleader and writer.

A watershed career change in 1986 saw Bill move to jazz, and Summerfold Records  was founded in 2004 to cater for his extensive catalogue of influential and imaginative collaborations with his main  band Earthworks and dozens of the world’s top musicians.

This double CD is a collection of twenty-two of 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.
Reviews
"The two sides of Bill Bruford's solo output are represented on these discs. The first one represents his rock side, thirteen wonderful tracks taken from earlier pre Earthworks albums, including lots of tracks from Bruford and with Patrick Moraz including Sample and Hold, Hells Bells, Blue Brains, and others. There's some great playing of course and with superb musicians like Allan Holdsworth, dave Stewart, and Jeff Berlin on board you'd expect that. There's already a heavy jazz tinge to the music, but when we reach the summerfold collection then Jazz is well and truly on the menu. This double disc collection includes materials with Earthworks in all its line-ups, work with Michael Borstlap,Ralph Towner, and what have you. Again there's some magnificent playing from the likes of Tim Garland, Django Bates, Iain Bellamy and everyone else. As a retrospective look at Bill's career these are excellent staring points from the uninitiated. Many others will already have much that's here, but a condensed selection is still worth having. One thing is certain though Bill Bruford is one of the most inventive and imaginative drummers in either Jazz or Rock, and it's to hoped that you've already seen him play live as he retired from live perfomance early this year."
