Written by JLAdams

This music, while great, shows that RF would not have been a very effective fusion guy (assuming that "fusion guy" was a title to which he would have aspired).

To me personally, I now understand why 81-84 Crim rarely goes six weeks without getting some play in my home, while Bruford’s One Of A Kind gets the once a year treatment, and the answer is most emphatically NOT that the latter is anything less than fantastic music performed by musicians who mean it.

The key difference, IMO, is originality. 81-84 KC has it to the extent that the music does not lend itself to categorization. BB’s work with Jeff Berlin, on the other hand, is fusion.

Like many others I too have had various versions of this concert for many years. This release is far superior to any of those! The bonus disks of raw loops is an eye-opening wonder as Read more

Yesterday I didn’t know this recording existed. Today I don’t know how I lived without it. The Frippertronic concerts are some of my most sought-after recordings, and to have this show, where Frippertronics were born, as it were, Read more

Hearing this now I realize none of us can really claim to have heard it before on the muddy bootlegs of days gone by... Mr. Stormy sure has put Humpty Dumpty back together again with this Read more
