Earthworks Underground Orchestra

This (is) well-rendered, joyfully rocking, jazzy and coolly swinging – not to mention crazy and from the outer limits.” All Music.com

Bill Bruford led his group Earthworks for 20 years from 1986 to 2006.

Here the group is reconfigured into a thrilling nine-piece little big-band to play and record songs from across their repertoire during a stint at Iridium, New York City.

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 personally overseen by Bill Bruford.
