Bull Bruford: Gradually Going Tornado (1980)


Bill Bruford is one of my favourite drummers. I first heard his drumming with Yes, but never paid any attention to who was behind the drum kit. I think I first consciously heard his drumming on Seconds Out, the double Genesis live album. To me, his best work was with 80s King Crimson, but more on that later.

Gradually Going Tornado is a cool jazz fusion album. The vocal pieces drag the album down and I think it would have been much stronger as a pure instrumental record.
