Bill Bruford: Difference between revisions

'''Bill''': These recent Bruford sound great. Have you heard that stuff?

Allan: I have a good friend who’s also a big fan...because I don’t really have any of my own recordings, I usually end up giving them away and then I try to get them a little later on. But he played me some of One Of A Kind, which I hadn’t heard it in 25 years. It was pretty good, I thought...for the time and everything.

'''Bill''': That must’ve been an interesting band to tour in.

Allan: Yeah, it was. I think if it hadn’t been for the U.K. experience I might’ve stayed with '''Bill''' a little bit longer because I really enjoyed playing with him. But with U.K. it was kind of uncomfortable because we had such different tastes in music. All of the guys were great guys, it wasn’t like a personal issue at all. We got along really well. It’s just that (bassist) John (Wetton) and (keyboardist) Eddy (Jobson) were of one mind musically and '''Bill''' and I were of another. And then when I started working with Gary Husband...I had just been introduced to him and played with a couple of times and I thought, ‘Oh man! I wanna play with THIS guy.’ So I decided to form my own band and that’s what cut short the '''Bill''' thing.
