After
taking a near 15-year hiatus and stepping away from the drums altogether, Bill
Bruford made the decision to return to the instrument, rebuilding his voice
from the ground up until he could once again speak through the kit in the
unmistakable way only he can. During this process, he joined the Pete Roth
Trio, led by German born guitarist and composer Pete Roth, alongside British
session bassist Mike Pratt. Rooted in jazz but never confined by it, the trio
has developed a powerful and original sound that draws on prog rock, blues,
fusion, and world music.
Last year alone, the band played nearly 70 shows across England, Japan, Spain, Scandinavia, Italy, Germany, and beyond, selling out most venues along the way. The legendary Fasching Club in Stockholm described them perfectly:
“Jazz, funk, contemporary classical, Dvořák. Nothing is sacred. It’s not retro. It’s not comfortable. It’s just brilliantly unruly.”
They’re now embarking on an exclusive north east tour, performing at:
27 Jan – The Forum Music Centre, Darlington
28 Jan – Knutsford Little Theatre, Knutsford
29 Jan – Seven Arts, Leeds
30 Jan – Gosforth Civic Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne
Here’s a short live video from the prestigious Jazzaldia Festival in San Sebastián:
