Bill Bruford: The Autobiography
'In this book, I've taken a series of disarmingly simple and frequently asked questions, which I've so far spent much time and newsprint avoiding. Only now am I finally able to answer them, for myself as much as anyone, without fear or favour, and with as much honesty and accuracy as I can muster'.
A rock musician with the temperament of a classical musician who became a jazz musician, Bruford defies all the clichés about what drummers do, largely because he has always been out there redefining the role. Bill Bruford: The Autobiography will surprise those who think they know him.
From time to time, someone will ask Bill what he does. He replies that he is a musician. "Yes," comes the retort, "but what do you really do." This unusual, funny, and insightful autobiography answers that question and many others.
