Bruford in a sentence

Developing friction and disagreements among Fripp and Bruford ended Bruford's time in King Crimson.

After the break-up of King Crimson in 1974, various plans for a supergroup involving bassist John Wetton had been mooted, including the abortive British Bulldog project with Bill Bruford and Rick Wakeman in 1976.

Bruford and Belew expressed some frustration over this; Belew recalled the first he had heard of the split was when he read about it in a report in Musician magazine.

Bruford has disowned the album entirely, and Wakeman was reportedly unable to recognise any of his keyboard work in the final edit and threw his copy of the album out of his limousine.

Bruford later said he lobbied his own way into the band, believing that King Crimson was very much "his gig", and that Fripp had come up with the philosophical explanation later.

Bruford, p. 55 Kaye performed his final show with Yes at the Crystal Palace Bowl that August.

Bruford's choice of Jeff Berlin as bassist was rejected as his playing was "too busy", auditions for musicians took place in New York.

By 1998 Bruford had quit the band altogether: in 2000, Fripp, Belew, Gunn and Mastelotto reunited as a four-piece King Crimson (minus Levin, who was busy with session work).

He took leave of the band, asserting that he would never stay in Yes purely for the money, and started work in Montserrat on a solo project that eventually involved Wakeman, Howe, and Bruford.

In 1988, he co-formed Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe which led to his third Yes stint until 1992.

One of the conditions Fripp had imposed on Bruford regarding his return was to give up all creative control to Fripp.

Soon after, Lane suggested that Wakeman talk with Bill Bruford and John Wetton who were thinking of forming a new band.

The noisy, half-spoken/half-shouted "Indiscipline" had been partially written to give Bruford a chance to escape from the strict rhythmic demands of the rest of the album and to play against the beat in any way that he could.

Though most of the album was already written, Fripp retreated into himself in the studio and "withdrew his opinion", leaving Bruford and Wetton to direct most of the recording sessions.

Wakeman left the project at the urging of management, according to Bruford.

Welch 2008, p. 80. Banks later claimed he was fired by Anderson and Squire, and that Kaye and Bruford had no prior knowledge that it would be happening.

Work on a second Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe began in France in 1990.
