We welcome back the former prog meister that is Bill Bruford tomorrow night as part of The Pete Roth Trio alongside Pete Roth himself a master guitarist and Stefan Redtenbacher depping in on the current tour for Mike Pratt.
Although Bruford's history as Hall of Fame inducted drummer in not one but two all-time great prog bands (Yes and King Crimson - not to mention a temporary stint with Genesis) captures many of the headlines, this band is very much a jazz project in the truest sense of the word. Exploring other genres like funk and rock but using the jazz superpower of improvisation to ensure that no two nights are ever the same, this is a band of all the talents.
They are playing much bigger venues than The Bear Club these days (not quite prog level stadiums yet though!) so this is an ideal chance to catch them in the intimate space of The Bear. Pete Roth told us this week:
"We’re very excited to return to The Bear Club.
We had a fantastic experience there last time, an incredibly attentive and responsive audience, and a venue that allows for real closeness and communication.
These kinds of intimate spaces are becoming rarer for us as the project grows, so nights like this remain very special.
The music hasn’t become any quieter, quite the opposite, so audiences should expect a very direct, high-energy, and immersive experience.
It’s not a passive concert; it’s a shared space of exploration in real time. We can’t wait to be back."
Tickets in comments and on the website.
