Patrick Moraz & Bill Bruford: In Tokyo

Bill Bruford was the original drummer in YES and a long term member of KING CRIMSON before devoting his career to jazz. Patrick Moraz was also a member of YES, during the Relayer period, and then became a member of THE MOODY BLUES.

The Moraz-Bruford collaborative albums have always held a fascination amongst fans because they feature two former members of YES who were in the band during different eras.

Moraz-Bruford first went into the studio in October 1983 and this re-release happens to coincide with the 35th Anniversary of the duo making their first recordings, which continue to have an ongoing appeal to this day.

The album has been out of print for some time and this re-release, on Bruford’s own Winterfold Records, was overseen personally by Bill Bruford, with the knowledge of Patrick Moraz.

“If you are a newcomer to jazz but are interested in a gentle "dipping of the toe" into the genre, then this is the album for you” (Sea of Tranquility).
