Interview with Bill Bruford (Part Four)
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.
