Tony Levin and Bill Bruford formed this group as an outlet for their joint creative efforts. They had worked together for many years in various groupings, but this was the first one that was "their baby." They recruited David Torn and Chris Botti to fill out the sound of the project. Together this group created a very intriguing blend of jazz and rock that really entertains. Their self-titled disc was released in 1998 and followed by several short sets of touring. Recordings of some of these dates yielded 1999's live disc BLUE Nights. ~ Gary Hill
