In The Court of The Crimson King, the documentary about curmudgeon Robert Fripp and the band King Crimson on tour begins its tour of U.S. theaters today including #Seattle

I've been obsessed with KC's work since the '80's, including #RobertFripp #Fripp, #BrianEno #Eno, #BillBruford #Bruford, #AdrianBelew #Belew . It has so much emotion and complexity, it really has a soul to it.

"What emerges ... is a complex portrait of Robert Fripp as a charming, dapper tyrant, an aloof genius, and control freak who is/was respected and feared in equal measure. "

Key subplot includes Bill Rieflin of #Seattle who died in 2020 of cancer, but chose to play with #KingCrimson despite the pain.

In the Court of the Crimson King screens in #Seattle at Grand Illusion Cinema on November 8 and 9 and at Regal Thornton Place on November 8.

Moraz & Bruford - 'Flags' (1985) (2020 remaster)

#PatrickMoraz and #BillBruford go electronic: #Moraz on Kurzweil synth and #Bruford on his famous electronic drum kit, keeping their adventurous compositions and performing skills. Nice album!

#NP: #NowPlaying:

Bruford - 'Rock Goes To College' (2006) (cd+dvd) (2020 remaster)

The amazing #Bruford band (#BillBruford, #DaveStewart, #JeffBerlin, #AllanHoldsworth with special guest #AnnettePeacock), recorded for #BBC in 1979. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

#NP: #NowPlaying:

Bill Bruford - 'Master Strokes 1978-1985' (1986)

Nice overview of #BillBruford's efforts 1978-1985: the band #Bruford, the duo with #PatrickMoraz and a single solo spot. This album proves what a great drummer he is and that the drum also walzes!

#NP: #NowPlaying:

Bruford - 'Gradually Going Tornado' (1980) (2005 remaster)

Third #Bruford album. Sadly no #AllanHoldsworth, but the 'unknown' #JohnClarke's guitar playing's great too. #BillBruford, #DaveStewart and especially #JeffBerlin excel throughout.
