  • Description

     “Bruford is able to play with the kind of flexibility and nuance that simply wouldn’t work in Genesis, Yes or King Crimson.” 4-stars, Downbeat



    • With Earthworks second album, Dig?, Bill Bruford began to be accepted, on a broader level, as a jazz drummer, even though his roots in the style go right back to his formative years.



    • Bruford had found players who were clearly familiar with the jazz tradition, even as they pursued ways to break it down and reconstruct it in new and unusual ways.



    • Earthworks’ second and best release features young Turks Ballamy and Bates and a new bassist, Tim Harries, who replaces Mick Hutton.



    • Tunes are by everybody and Tony Hatch (the latter a mutant arrangement of Downtown by Bates which will not be entering the top 40).



    • This edition has two bonus tracks in addition – Emotional Shirt and Pigalle – culled from the band’s live appearances.



    • This album has been out of print for some time. This re-release is on Bruford’s own Summerfold Records and was overseen personally by him.
