On 2/21/09, we had the pleasure of having one of the masters on our program. On radio program 1097, we featured an exclusive interview with drummer and percussionist Bill Bruford. Bill joined us to talk about his self titled, forthcoming autobiography on Jawbone Press. We covered many areas of the excellent new book, and Bill’s journey through music to his recent retirement from public performance.
Please enjoy this candid interview on the overview of his career….a special time for the archives. One not forgotten.

Chris Poland has been a long time friend and guest to our program over the years. Known originally from Megadeath, Chris Poland’s Ohm became an immediate hit on our program, and a personal favorite to yours truly. His work with Robertino ‘Pag’ Pagliari is something very special and exclusive. The team work is second to none. No matter who plays the drums in this project, they pack a punch. On program 1094 we featured an exclusive interview with Chris Poland. Chris joined us to talk about the recent disc titled Circus Of Sound, upcoming tour dates, and some great personal news as well.
A special thanks goes out to Steve Bauer. He really understands what we do.
Enjoy my friends!

Guitarist Gary Boyle is best known for his time in founding one of the great British jazz-rock bands, Isotope. This band has been a favorite on our program over the years but not just our listeners, but the hosts and producers as well! Isotope arose in 1972 and garnered as much attention as the greats of the time, Soft Machine and Nucleus. After their signing to an independent record label, Isotope’s future was bright. The band would release the album Illusion which instantly became a classic to jazz rock fans throughout Europe. The line up was stellar. Gary Boyle on Guitar, legendary ex Soft Machine bassist and guest of ours over the years, Hugh Hopper, keyboardist Laurence Scott, and drummer Nigel Morris. Isotope’s fortunes only improved with hundreds of shows under their belt with this timeless line up. Steve Feigenbaum of Cuneiform Records pulls another rabbit out of his Radio Bremen archives ‘hat’ in the outstanding 2008 archive recordings of Isotope in this period titled Golden Section. The archive release features over an hour of material from 3 different dates. Gary joined us to talk about the new archive, his time in the band, his reflections from that tour that brought them to the U.S., and his current performing life. This is an interview not to miss, and another special chat with a gentleman that has been a big part of our program’s playlists over the last 17 years. Thank you Gary, and a special thanks to Steve Feigenbaum…
