Bill Bruford’s Earthworks Announce The Release Of Heavenly Bodies - The Expanded Collection


King Crimson
band / ensemble / orchestrab.1969
Bruford says: “Heavenly Bodies- The Expanded Collection serves as the ideal ‘beginners’ guide’ for newcomers to the band. Progressive Jazz isn’t a million miles from Progressive Rock: both genres prioritise change from inside and out. People would come away from our gigs saying “I didn’t think I liked jazz, but if that’s jazz, I love it!” Heavenly Bodies- The Expanded Collection is the perfect jumping off point to dip your toes in the water.”
