On Friday, May 17th at 9 PM, the Inter-Media Art Center in Huntington, Long Island will host a concert with progressive rock/jazz drummer BILL BRUFORD'S
EARTHWORKS.

BILL BRUFORD is considered by many to be the greatest drummer in progressive rock. He was on the first formation of Yes, and stayed with the band until the album Close to the Edge. Then, he joined the band King Crimson. He also played the drums on albums by Gong, Pavlov's Dog, Roy Harper, Chris Squire and Steve Howe. Then, he joined Genesis after Peter Gabriel left and Phil Collins stepped up to the mike. Later years had him rejoining both Yes and King Crimson.

Having already spent almost twenty years on the cutting edge of modern rock percussion, BILL BRUFORD formed Earthworks in 1986, as a deliberate return to his roots in jazz. Availing himself to the brightest young talent on the burgeoning UK jazz scene, Bruford encouraged the use of rock technology with jazz sensibility- the hallmark of Earthwork's stylish approach. By letting in air and
light, and adding a little wit and wisdom, they produced a particular British antidote to the increasingly grotesque jazz-fusion scene. The newest edition of the band continues to use the best British talent available, and having
effectively jettisoned electronic percussion is now re-visiting the broadly acoustic sax-piano-bass-drums line-up. The band features Steve Hamilton (keyboards), Patrick Clahar (tenor sax-best known for his work with Incognito), Mark Hodgson (bass) and Bill Bruford (drums).
