Description
Many people will know the name Bill Bruford from his widespread and varied career playing for bands such as Yes or King Crimson or perhaps many of the sessions Bill has managed to notch up over the years, most notably for Genesis for whom he briefly drummed alongside Phil Collins when Phil took over the vocalists spot vacated by Peter Gabriel. These days Bill fronts the jazz quartet Earthworks and in addition to playing the odd session Bill seems more than happy playing dates as far afield as Japan and South America to enthusiastic jazz audiences and music lovers in general. Patrick Moraz also has a wide and varied career behind him including stints with Mainhorse, Refugee, The Moody Blues and more importantly Yes. Patrick has also released many diverse albums ranging from concept albums through to music with a Brazilian feel and more importantly jazz. In fact it was a love of jazz which no doubt sowed the seeds of the Bruford/Moraz musical partnership. Although neither Bill or Patrick played together at the same time in Yes both musicians have a great love and more importantly an understanding of Jazz and these talents are heard to great effect on the album Flags. Originally released in 1985 following Moraz's split from the moody Blues and a period when King Crimson was in hibernation Bruford and Moraz turn in a stellar performance on an album of original material written either by Patrick Moraz or written by both Moraz and Bruford. There is however one cover and that is the Max Roach composition The Drum Also Waltzes. The album was originally released on EG Records in the mid eighties however this re released version will now appear as the debut release on the Wimterfold imprint. Winterfold has been formed to release the albums Bill Bruford recorded with his band Bruford in the late seventies and early eighties and also the albums Bill recorded with Patrick Moraz.
