Bill Bruford on Drums and Percussion, Ralph
Towner on 12 String Guitar and Classical Guitars, Piano and

'If Summer Had It's Ghosts ' was recorded at Make
Believe Ballroom,West Slokan.NY.
Bill Bruford has played with many progressive rock
bands, Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, Gong and U.K. his own self named
fusion group and he is no stranger to jazz collaborations. Bruford
formed Earthworks a jazzy quartet which artfully blended acoustic
instruments with his own battery of electronic percussion.
'If Summer Had It's Ghosts' is a jazz collaboration
with Ralph Towner and Eddie Gomez.
The Tracks are :
'If Summer Had It's Ghosts',
'Never The Same Way Once',

'Somersaults',
'Thistledown',
'The Ballad Of Vilcabamba',
'Amethyst',
'Splendour Among Shadows',
'Some Other Time',
'Silent Pool',
'Now Is The Next Time'.
I found 'If Summer Had It's Ghosts' to be a very
relaxing album to listen too. There are 11 original compositions with
Bill's crisp,sharp and precise drumming and percussion ,
Ralph's Guitar playing is absolutely stunning at
times ( in parts I was reminded of Jan Akkerman who was the guitarist
with Focus and John McLaughlin of the Mahavishnu Orchestra both great
guitar players who played quite a lot of Jazz influenced guitar at
times) besides his great keyboards and Eddie's precision
Bass playing just adds to give it that tighter sound. Some of the
tracks I found to be very precise, whilst others had a very loose
kind of jam feel to them. And overall a very nice and pleasant album
to listen too.
