Earthworks Video Anthology No. 2 the 1990s

This 85-minute DVD is the second in a two-volume anthology of previously unreleased concert footage of Bill Bruford's Earthworks, one of the longest lived and most original jazz quartets around today. It chronicles the band's progress through the 1990s, from its electronic start to its acoustic renaissance. The group originated as a vehicle for Bruford's unusual and innovative use of electronic percussion, and did much to challenge perceptions about what a drummer should, or should not, do in the jazz medium. Filmed in Germany, Japan, and Belgium in 1991 and 1999.
