My music playlist for today (June 26, 2012 edition)

Bill Bruford is admired as much for his drumming in straight jazz music as he is for his progressive rock drumming.

It goes without saying, then, that with that mix his jazz-fusion drumming comes … naturally.

When Bruford would switch between more of the classic, chamber-style jazz and jazz-fusion, the lines were amazingly clear. For classic jazz, he’d employ more of an acoustic bass and brass, and he’d use his tuned electronic drums more like a keyboard. You’d be hard-pressed to find a six-string guitar.

For jazz-fusion, he employed some masters of electric guitar, electric bass, and keys with an occasional horn chiming in.

For classic jazz, the group was known as Earthworks. For fusion, it was mostly known by one name — Bruford.

About A View From The Middle (Class)

Hi, my name's John. I've thought about this blogging stuff for a number of years now. I got into it for real on November 10, 2011, after suddenly losing my job in late October. I've been blogging ever since, and I kept it up over a period of a year and four months of being unemployed or under-employed, to try and paint a picture of what being jobless with a family to support can be like. Finally, on February 28, 2013, I got a better job that puts us back into the "middle class." I won't stop blogging, though. Who knows, maybe I can actually turn this blogging stuff into a way to earn a living someday! If you go to my blog at http://viewfrommiddleclass.wordpress.com/ and click on my About page, it'll tell you a lot about me -- maybe more than you ever wanted to know. I'm just your average, laid-back guy who's GOING TO MAKE IT IN THIS WORLD, despite all the roadblocks thrown in the way. I also launched a "niche" blog on music at http://thecrossovermusicchannel.blogspot.com/ that I'm very excited about because of the popularity of music playlist articles here. Also, check out and "Like" this blog's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/daddysangbassdude2 for instant updates. Look forward to seeing y'all around!
