Biography

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, All Music Guide

Bruford Levin Upper Extremities (B.L.U.E.) was a musical group composed of drummer Bill Bruford, bassist Tony Levin, guitarist David Torn, and trumpeter Chris Botti.

The group's origins can be traced to David Torn's album Cloud About Mercury (1987) which featured the above-listed musicians, except with Mark Isham playing trumpet. Enjoying their musical chemistry, the performers kept in touch, and formed B.L.U.E. in the mid-1990s.

The band had very unusual sound with elements of blues, rock and ambient music. Bruford and Levin were both longtime members of King Crimson, so it's unsurprising that B.L.U.E. sometimes had a "Crimsonesque" quality.
