CD Reviews

Fantastic! Bruford & company keep with jazz tradition

Johanna McKenna | North Bay, CA | 03/17/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Jazz purists, take heart! Earthworks' first release of the new millenium once again features virtuosos Bill Bruford (drums), Mark Hodgson (bass), Patrick Clahar (saxes), and Steve Hamilton (piano). This lineup's second effort takes the ensemble even closer to trad jazz roots with compositions like "Teaching Vera To Dance," with it's prominent featuring of bass and sax. Also enjoyable is Earthworks' new twist on "Never the Same Way Once," a cut from the 1997 Bruford/Towner/Gomez disc, "If Summer Had Its Ghosts." "The Sound of Surprise" should appeal to diehard Bruford fans as well as trad jazz and fusion fans alike. Absolutely gorgeous all around! This Japanese import features an extra (tenth) track, aptly entitled "The Sound of Surprise.""
