The band initially included Dave Stewart on keyboards, Jeff Berlin on bass, and Allan Holdsworth on guitar. For Feels Good to Me (1978) the band was joined by singer Annette Peacock and Kenny Wheeler on flugelhorn. One of a Kind (1979) found the band stripped down to the core quartet. For the live album, The Bruford Tapes, and Gradually Going Tornado (1980), Holdsworth was replaced by John Clark.
Bruford's later outings would be released under either his full name or variations of Bill Bruford's Earthworks/Earthworks.

That's a Mucho fresh faced Bruford there!
I was 5yrs running around the Tudor Rose pub garden in 1976 heat.
Those are my first memories of Bill's sound.
From Yes Album and CTTEdge.
Hardly any cars on the road and we paddled in the Avon at the Hampshire Hatches.
It seemed so deep at the time.
Few years back I found it was about 2 foot deep in actuality.
And so too has life become in 2022.
So I shall hold on to those fills and paradiddles, thank you very much.

Let’s all take a second to appreciate how incredible the quality of this footage is!

Bill Bruford y Allan Holdsworth eran una dupla perfecta. Podrían haber grabado más discos juntos, pero lo que grabaron fueron obras maestras.

At the time, we thought this music was the most timeless, visionary music of the future, combining everything from jazz and rock with a virtuosity that transcended the narrow confines of style. Now, looking back, there’s no way this could be any more 1979!

I was fortunate enough to see you Bill, with King Crimson, Jeff Berlin and his band, and Allan Holdsworth the night Eddie Van Halen was at the Roxy Theater and joined on stage. Never got to see Dave play. But folks, if you haven't heard National Health's second album; "of queues and cures" the fourth track, "dreams wide awake" is the greatest keyboard solo ever laid down on vinyl. Dave said he was "literally tearing the guts out of his organ" as the engineers looked on.

The entire album Of queues and cures is damm great epic legendary genius and criminally underated-top shelf one of the greatest ever.

to-ta-lly agree

@Andrea Tolin the ambient beginning the energetic almost frantic soundtrack for something on "Brydens" the band was so tight.
