Bruf is a great drummer.
[I also liked TB on UK's Danger Money when he replaced him ;=)]...
When i saw the CCEB for the 1st time [trio, no gtr] in '86 [just b4 the first release], Bruford was in the audience sitting beside the then mgr of the drum/perc dept of a popular local music store, checkin' it out [i thought i might've seen a little "sweat" glistening on his brow at 1 point, tho ;=)]...
Of what i've heard of him [BB] attempting swing, it's also stiff, but still sometimes valid ideas within it fr a technical standpoint...[but he still doesn't really "swing," man ;=)]...
He is well beyond NP in his vocab...amongst the many, I also dig his playing on Stv Hackett's Watcher of the Skies solo CD...& i revert back to the track that i always do, & beatH, for one, will usually back me up on this: Cinemashow, from Genesis' Seconds Out [live]...Bill pulls down some britches & gives a little spanking to both NP AND Phil on that one ;=) [& most of the other non-jazz-&-fusion influenced prog-rock drummers of the day, FTM]...
Newsflash -
Husband, again, is [still :=p] a GRREAT drummer....
