Bruford Levin Upper Extremities with 'Cracking The Midnight Glass' from their 1998 album "B.L.U.E. Nights"
This recording chronicles the live performances of Bruford Levin Upper Extremities from 1998. The disc showcases the band's unique blend of jazzy modes with Crimson-esque textures and, occasionally, just plain weirdness. Many of the tracks become looser jams in the live performance. For those who saw this tour, the disc will be a great memento. For those who didn't, it will serve as a shining example of what they missed, and encouragement to be more careful not to pass up subsequent tours.
The band is Tony Levin, Bill Bruford, Chris Botti, and David Torn. Levin is certainly one of the greatest living electric bass players, and the disc shows that fact off in fine fashion. Bill Bruford's percussion work comes across as both very creative and quite impeccable. Trumpeter Chris Botti calls to mind Miles Davis at times, while carving out his own particular style. The last link, David Torn, has a style that is nearly indefinable, combining strange guitar textures with loop work for an art form that is almost peerless. And the whole of this group, despite each member's separate abilities, is so much more than the sum of the parts. - Gary Hill, All Music Guide

I love this! It's like a prog Kashmir!
You guys are masters of a genre that i would be happy to be the lowest pupil. What a piece of music!
You and Bill were the perfect rhythm masters … nobody like you
I was so busy in this period I completely missed this album and any shows that happened, despite being very connected with music. I just had a lot going on in life and I was beginning to fall into illness. Life - eh? This record seems to have been a big miss for me. It sounds great. Thanks for revisiting it here.

@@leftpastsaturn67 Thank you. While I live on, somehow, and have rallied now and then, I have generally greatly worsened, in fits and starts. No, things are not always recoverable, though it appears boundless, groundless optimism and a tiny bit of atypically good care and better personal support can keep a gritty character like me going for a long while.

Saw you guys on tour at the Birchmere during this tour. Really cool stuff!
Don’t know how/why I missed this live so many years ago. Not going to miss Beat tour though. This album is great and until now very difficult to find. Glad it was remastered and made available.
CRASHMIR !!! 😮
I was 16, just barely starting to discover bands not featured on radio. Yeah I missed some shows lol
This really sounds great to me. Many soundscapes put into one song. Thanks for posting! Very inspirational.
A great album, I love it.
Una genialidad!!!
news that BEAT will not play as a cover band gives us hope they'll be new jams or improvisations included on the tour. our ears are very thirsty, T.L. please..
Тони Левин, величайший музыкант и папа всех басистов.Американцы,вам повезло,вы можете его видеть живьём.
Beginning reminds me of the severely under-rated From the Caves of Iron Mountain.
Starts out Good 😅
Kashmir vibe all the way
Prachtig,
