Music for Piano and Drums (1983) Flags (1985)

Music for Piano and Drums is the first studio album by a duo consisting of Swiss keyboardist Patrick Moraz and English drummer Bill Bruford. Both were members of Yes at different times (Bruford from 1968- 1972 and Moraz from 1974-1977), and the two had played together on Yes bassist Chris Squire's solo album Fish Out of Water in 1975.

The album was recorded while Moraz was in The Moody Blues and Bruford was in King Crimson. As the album title suggests, the album features eight instrumentals performed on grand piano and acoustic drum kit (Bruford was known for playing electric drums at this time). After touring briefly to support the album, Moraz & Bruford recorded a second album two years later, Flags.
