Round holes and square pegs come to mind.” “I’ve deliberately avoided forcing them into industry categories such as ‘progressive rock’, ‘fusion’ or ‘jazz’,” Bruford adds, “on the grounds that most of the music I’ve been associated with fits very poorly into such straight-jackets. I didn’t care much what the critic, commentator or musicologist thought, and that was to remain my lodestone, my modus operandi for many years.”įor this anthology, Bruford has selected 70 tracks from across his whole career, comprising works from some 23 different artists and bands over a 40-year period. I also thought that was what they were paying me to do.
Thinking up interesting things to do on a drum kit was my reason to exist. I figured if I hadn’t heard it before, the other guys in the band probably hadn’t either.
