What is Summerfold?
Drummer Bill Bruford's records, DVDs, and related projects are released on either Summerfold or Winterfold Records ...and are available at the shop here.
SUMMERFOLD RECORDS has been created to re-issue re-mastered and expanded versions of his work since 1987, together with current and future recordings and related projects.
"He used to be a rock guy, all guitars and electric, and now he's a jazz guy, all saxophones and acoustic." Or so at least goes the rather simplistic shorthand for those who have been good enough to consider Bill's recorded output since 1977. While, for the musician, such distinctions may appear hopelessly old-fashioned, it is, as they say, the way the world works. Back here at the ranch, it seems to us the case that a number of listeners who had hitherto derived pleasure from the earlier music of Holdsworth, Stewart, Berlin, Moraz et al, were unintentionally left behind in the watershed year of 1987 with the arrival of Earthworks, and musicians with less familiar names and smaller amplifiers, like Bates, Ballamy, Garland, and Hamilton. Quite simply, we lost those good listeners and they lost us, for no good reason anyone can think of, and here's the way to reconnect.
Free samplers of both labels, with explanatory commentary from Bill, are available at the Shop here.
Both labels are currently distributed globally by
Voiceprintwww.voiceprint.co.uk .
You’ll probably find
Winterfold in the Rock / Popular section of the record store, and
Summerfold in the Jazz section, but if you don’t have any luck there, the output of both labels will be well stocked in the on-line store at
www.billbruford.com .
All bonus tracks are live.
The Summerfold (Earthworks) recordings are high quality 24-track
selections from Bill's personal archive.
