Me to my wife after she has a couple glasses of wine tonight: "You know, honey, maybe we should take a little trip to the U.K. this fall..."
Nice to see Bruford with a guitarist again.
I can tell you from experience that can work. Made the same type of suggestion to my wife a few years ago and Camel just happened to be playing at Royal Albert Hall when we were there! Good luck!Originally Posted by malgeo
Nice to see him playing drums and back on stage again.
I thought he had retired from good (according to his official bio).
Great news !
A couple of these shows are quite local to me, Guildford sold out though & Loxwood not sure, this guy Pete Roth is suddenly going to be very popular!
Wow. Shocked but very pleasantly surprised.
Please don't ask questions, just use google.
Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.
I'm only here to reglaze my bathtub.
I would definitely go if I were in the UK. Delighted to see him playing again! I wonder if playing a bit at the John Wetton tribute last year rekindled a bit of the old fire? Great news regardless.
Whaaaaaaat?
I did not think he would ever play out again. But pure jazz can do that to a guy like him.
So cool!
Will be seeing Steve Hackett when they play Kingston upon Thames.
Still. after the last minute cancelation of Genesis last shows, I bought a ticket as a Plan B...
I think the decision goes back further than the Wetton show. Howe said in February this year that Bruford had spent "two years re-learning" after having retired. That would put the decision in 2022.

Happy to see him playing again !
Not a big Jazz fan but if Bill is involved I might give it a try, one of the gigs is only 20 minutes away.

It's always great when a legend rethinks retirement... even after 10 years!
that teaser sounded like an audience of 20
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
So glad BB is playing again at any level. If I was anywhere near, I'd be there.
This ain't some weird April Fool's joke in September, is it? If it's not, it's great to have BB back in action!
He's played out a few times in "friends and family" situations, from what I recall.
From his book, it sounds like it was the travel that he got sick of, more than the playing. That story of him laying on the floor of the hotel somewhere in America trying to get his aching back sorted out was one of the parts that resonated. Plus, he just had some other things he wanted to do. Maybe he's gotten some of that taken care of.
I doubt he'll be doing extensive touring in any context. Playing a few shows around the UK once and a while is not really "touring" as I think of it.
but it might spark a desire to record his own music again...

Wonderful to see him playing again! Light and extremely intricate, players are great- all Bruford. Thx for the post!
The Pete Roth Trio are playing a new composition by Bruford in their live sets.

Indeed.
Bruford did give up playing entirely for some years. According to Howe, who remains closer to him than the other Yesmen, Bruford has spent the last 2 years getting back into performing condition.

was great to see Bruford having written a few tunes for Steve Howe Trio's New Frontier. Don't know how likely them recording together would be, but one can dream
And do not forget: Linkin Park has a new vocalist! Let us rejoice!
