Interview with Bill Bruford (Part Four)

by admin on Jul.08, 2009, under Interviews, Podcasts

     This podcast episode is Part Four of my recent interview with legendary drummer Bill Bruford. In this segment we discuss surviving success; why success in the music business is repetitive by its very nature; why it’s important to manage money well; Bruford and Steve Howe’s disastrous performance of “Roundabout” on Live With Regis and Kathie Lee and the pros and cons of mainstream television exposure; a Spinal Tap moment when Bill’s electronic drums failed onstage at Madison Square Garden; recommended works of Bill Bruford; the freedom of jazz vs. the inherent sameness of mass entertainment; Bruford’s move from rock to jazz and why he prefers the jazz world.

     Stay tuned for the fifth and final segment, which I will post Tuesday.
