Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Footloose and Fancy Free is a new two-CD set from drummer-leader Bruford's working band, and it stems from an on-location recording at London's Pizza Express in summer 2001. The Earthworks band on this date had Patrick Clahar on saxes, Steve Hamilton on piano, Mark Hodgson on bass and of course Bruford himself behind the kit. The music--in the classic acoustic jazz quartet formulation--is dynamic and disciplined, as any long-term Bruford follower would expect, and his latest band delivers the goods both at speed and at more leisurely tempos. As Bruford says in the liner notes, "Being a performing artist doesn't mean being able to do it once perfectly in perfect conditions, rather it means being able to do it imperfectly in imperfect conditions night after night. That's when you polish the diamond." There is a high degree of sheen on these tracks, and although saxophonist Clahar is lacking an original tenor or sax voice, hewing too close to Coltrane and Brecker, the sheer spirit of the band carries the listener through such concerns. This is two CDs of high-class jazz from a master musician and his current group. --Keith Shadwick

4.0 out of 5 stars すばらしい!, 2004/11/18
2枚組で新生アースワークスの初のライブ盤、とにかく演奏が良い。 まだこの時点ではパトリック・クラハーがSAX、ラストの"Bridge of Inhibition(歯列矯正?)"は流石に編曲がお世辞にも良いとは言えないが、近作の「ランダム・アクツ~」でもブラフォード(フュージョン)時代の曲や旧アースワークスの「マイハート・デクレアズ・ア・ホリデー(心臓がキツイんで休みが欲しい?)をアコースティックでやってて気に入ったし、こちらは待ちに待った最初の2枚組生録、スタジオ録音の前2作もライブとなるとかなり違う、勿論良い意味でだが。 ハッキリ言って、これ買えば今のアースワークスが分かる。 迷わず買いです!

5.0 out of 5 stars 生粋のジャズファンにもお勧めできるライブ盤, 2004/6/11
By めーちゃん - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
次作のRamdom acts of happinessと同様、ジャズファン(スウィングやビバップ、クールしか受け付けない人は別)にも安心して推薦できるアルバム

私はビルのロック時代やソロ名義の初めの2作しか聞いたことがなく、EarthworksはRamdom acts of happinessから後追いをしてFootloose and Fancy Freeを買いました。

初期のEarthworksが好きな人は、Ramdom acts of happinessとFootloose and Fancy Freeで拒絶反応を起こす可能性があると考えます。反対に私などはEarthworksの1stやDigも買ったのですが、心からガツンとはきませんでした。

上記に書いたことは生粋のビル先生のファンに叱られそうな内容ですが、よりジャズに近づいたアルバムであり、ジャズファンに是非聞いてもらいたいアルバムであり、元ロックドラマーであることで買いづらいかもしれませんが固定観念をグッと抑えて1度試してみてもらいたいアルバムです。
