Bill Bruford comes out of retirement to join Pete Roth Trio

Having retired from live and recorded performance on 2009, Bill Bruford returns to live music with jazz band Pete Roth Trio

Former  https://www.loudersound.com/features/top-40-yes-songs" rel="nofollow - Yes  and  https://www.loudersound.com/features/top-ten-1970s-king-crimson-songs" rel="nofollow - King Crimson  drummer  https://www.loudersound.com/news/four-disc-bruford-borstlap-box-set-out-now" rel="nofollow - Bill Bruford  has come out of retirement to join UK jazz band Pete Roth Trio.

The band use the phrase "Jazz without borders" on their website, claiming they "create jazz for a new generation of music enthusiasts that look beyond the ordinary jazz conventions."

The band go on to state, "Some use qualifiers like ‘near-jazz’, ‘neo-jazz’, or ‘stadium-jazz’ to break out of the ‘old-man-jazz’ straightjacket. Phrases like that act as trigger-warnings that what the Trio plays ain’t always going to fit, or be nice. The group’s roots are firmly planted in popular music, but it seeks to expand the notion of what it is acceptable or possible to do, or represent, within that genre."

Bruford announced that that he was retiring from performing and recording on January 1, 2009. His final public gig was with his Earthworks band on July 31, 2008. During his retirement Bruford studied for and received a PhD in Music from the University Of Surrey, and write his acclaimed autobiography Bill Bruford: The Autobiography. Yes, King Crimson, Earthworks and More.

Save for a short stint with Ann Bailey's Soul House, a covers band from Surrey, Bruford's only appearance behind the kit since he announced his retirement, was at  https://www.loudersound.com/news/bill-bruford-surprises-fans-with-live-performance-at-john-wetton-tribute-show" rel="nofollow - the John Wetton Tribute Concert at Trading Boundaries in 2023 , when he performed Let's Stick Together, as covered by Bryan Ferry, alongside  https://www.loudersound.com/features/phil-manzanera-s-favourite-phil-manzanera-albums" rel="nofollow - Phil Manzanera , Guy Pratt and Chris Difford from Squeeze.
