The definitive Earthworks DVD, showcasing Bill Bruford's pinnacle of complex time signature jazz, is finally here! First, nearly an hour of footage from his March 10, 1988 performance at the Deustsches Jazz Festival Frankfurt in Germany, captured from a superb broadcast master. While there's some minor audio noise, the digitally remastered sound is incredibly immersive, with impeccable balance between instruments. Above all, the crystal-clear video, worthy of being called official-quality, will surely satisfy even the most seasoned fans. Next, nearly an hour of footage from his 1991 performance at the Leverkusen Jazzstage, also using a broadcast master and high-definition pro-shot. This performance, coinciding with the year of YES's third reunion, is a must-see for fans tracing Bill Bruford's career chronologically. Finally, bonus footage includes additional performance scenes interspersed with interviews from the 1991 television broadcast of "Total Sound." This is another must-see for fans, as it includes interesting comments from Bill himself about the Simmons SDX.
