William
Scott "Bill" Bruford (17 de Maio de 1949), é um ex-baterista inglês.
Mais conhecido por suas contribuições em bandas como Yes, King Crimson,
UK e Genesis, entre outros conjuntos de rock progressivo. Bill Bruford
trouxe para o rock novos rudimentos, técnicas orquestrais e de jazz.
Bruford foi um dos criadores do gênero rock progressivo. Em 2017, ele
entrou para o Rock and Roll Hall of Fame como membro do Yes
Bruford começou sua carreira profissional em uma variedade de grupos. De 1966 a 1967, foi um dos membros do The Breed. Em junho de 1968, se juntou ao Mabel Greer Toyshop, inicialmente uma banda de rock psicodélico em Londres e que foi precursora da formação do Yes. Ele tocou com Yes em seus primeiros cinco álbuns -- Yes (1969), Time and a Word (1970), The Yes Album (1971), Fragile (1971), e Close to the Edge (1972).
Após a saída de Peter Gabriel do Genesis em 1975, com Phil Collins assumindo os vocais no álbum seguinte, A Trick of the Tail, Bruford passou seis meses tocando com o Genesis na sua turnê de 1976, e depois nos álbuns Seconds Out, Three Sides Live, e no filme Genesis: In Concert. Steve Hackett disse que Bruford o ajudou a ficar confortável tocando ao vivo no palco, pois ele havia sofrido em seus primeiros dias com Genesis.
Em 19 de julho de 1972, Bruford deixava o Yes para se juntar ao King Crimson. Ele mostrou o que sabia em "21st Century Schizoid Man”, confirmando seu talento nos álbuns Starless, Bible Black e Red, antes de Fripp dissolvesse a banda em setembro de 1974. De volta com uma nova formação em 1981, Bruford retornou para o King Crimson em 1981, com Robert Fripp na guitarra, Tony Levin no baixo e Chapman Stick e Adrian Belew nas guitarras e vocais. Ele gravou os álbuns Discipline, Beat e Three of a Perfect Pair, quando tudo parecia ter acabado em 1984. Porém, em 1994, o King Crimson novamente voltou a gravar e Bruford gravou Vrooom e dois outros álbuns ao vivo. Porém, decepcionado com os rumos da banda, ele a deixou em 1997.
Em 1977, Bruford formou sua própria banda chamada Bruford. Os membros da banda foram inicialmente Dave Stewart (teclados), Jeff Berlin (baixo), Allan Holdsworth (guitarra) e Bruford (bateria). Eles lançaram três álbuns: Feels Good to Me, One of a Kind (instrumental) e Gradually Going Tornado.
Earthworks foi formada em 1985 e sua formação original durou até 1993. A banda ressurgiu na década de 1990 com Tim Garland, antes de se separarem em 2009 devido à aposentadoria de Bruford. Enquanto criava com toda liberdade no Earthworks , continuou a colaborar com muitos músicos, incluindo o tecladista do Yes Patrick Moraz (com quem gravou dois álbuns na década de 1980) e o baixista Tony Levin.
Bruford está no Hall da Fama como maior baterista moderno de 1990. Retirou-se da vida pública em 2009, mas continua trabalhando nas suas duas gravadoras, falando e escrevendo sobre música. Sua autobiografia, Bill Bruford: The Autobiography, foi publicada no início de 2009. Texto: Wikipédia.
