Bill Bruford's Earthworks was a British jazz band that was founded in 1986 by drummer Bill Bruford. The band disbanded in 2009, leaving behind a rich legacy of music and innovation.

With influences from artists such as *Chad Wackerman*, *Andy Summers*, and *Allan Holdsworth*, Bill Bruford's Earthworks created a unique sound that blended elements of jazz, fusion, and rock. Their music pushed the boundaries of traditional jazz, incorporating complex rhythms and intricate melodies.

Throughout their career, Bill Bruford's Earthworks collaborated with renowned musicians like *Vinnie Colaiuta*, *Jeff Berlin*, and *Tribal Tech*. Their performances were known for their energy and improvisation, captivating audiences around the world.

Summerfold Records is a UK label that was formed in 2004 by Bill Bruford, a renowned drummer, writer, bandleader, and label boss. The main purpose of the label is to showcase his extensive solo career in jazz. Summerfold Records operates as a division of Bill Bruford Productions Ltd., alongside *l125414* Records. With its informative and authoritative tone, Summerfold Records offers an impressive collection of music that reflects Bruford's exceptional talent and contribution to the jazz genre.

Quality set recorded at the Pizza Express, Jazz Club, Soho, London (2001). Earthworks seventh album re-affirms the band’s commitment to the road-seasoned telepathy of a tightly bound live working unit.

The music is taken from across the band’s full repertoire, plus rarities from Bill Bruford and bassist Tony Levin (‘Original Sin’) and Bruford’s chamber jazz outing with Ralph Towner and Eddie Gomez (‘If Summer Had Its Ghosts’). Featuring stately, sugar-free ballads like ‘Come To Dust’ and ‘Dewey-Eyed Then Dancing’, this may be some of the band’s best work, and certainly its most melodic.

Contains the bonus track ‘The Shadow of a Doubt’. This album has been out of print for some time and this re-release is on Bruford’s own Summerfold Records. It was produced and overseen personally by Bill Bruford.
