Hi, Jack. I hope all is well with you and that you are NOT stuck in the Essex snow! I have just watched, for the second time, my DVD of Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott's from last year. It struck me that his current (terrific!) music would be mightily enhanced by the Bruce bass and vocals. With EC getting together with Steve W. this year, what a treat it would be for all of us to have Beck and Bruce on stage together.......any chance?!?

Good day. Last night I listened on the radio, to the amazing concert you gave in November, with the BBC Big Band. It was exquisite. Is there any chance you might release it on CD? With thanks, Susan

Hi Jack! I'd like to suggest you a long time collaboration with Warwick Basses site, hosted by Florin Barbu. Countless people would be excited with your histories regarding the switch from Gibson EB-3 basses to Warwick ones. After all, what really matters is that your playing continues to have that psychedelia feel that made you famous. Best! Carlos Bill on bass. Carlos Bill on bass.

Jack - just a quick "thanks, mate" for many years of phenomenal music. While it's a long time since I last saw you live with Cream in New Haven Connecticut in 1967, I still listen to Wheels of Fire, and Disraeli Gears, and still smile remembering those amazing times. A few of my first bands performed Cream-esque versions of 'Spoonful' and 'Crossroads'. To this day, I still perform 'A Mother's Lament' at gigs. Be well! L.

Hi, Jack. I bought recently a live cd, a concert of BBC, with you, Graham Bond, Chris Spedding...Paris Theatre, London...You must remember of it easily I guess! The entire record is superb, as always; your bass is terrific! Spedding does his job very well too. It was recorded on 17 August, 1977. I can immagine how intense were those times musically; your solo albuns, they were all 'burning' still and your band was becoming more and more experimental. I miss those times. I hope your producing staff may have an idea of recording your appearances at the Ronnie Scott; why not, man? That's music turned into gold. Your bass playing...it carries all the weight of legend that it usually does with anyone. Best, Carlos Bill.

Still regarding the meaning 19th August, 1977 At The Paris Theatre Concert, BBC... Your liner notes in the sleeves of the cd are really indicative that that was a meaningful time for you. In fact, although probably you played better than that, prior to the concert and after the concert, I have to say that You Burned The Tables On Me, Folk Song and Smiles And Grins never sounded so beautiful. You Burned The Tables...was a bundle of amplified energy; and I could almost transport myself (in thought at least) to the beach and wildlife of Folk Song. The lyricism of such ballads of yours is, by the way, unique. I sincerely have not seen yet a musician with so much feeling inside. I guess Bob Dylan , James Taylor, Tim Hardin and Jimmy Webb come close, but they couldn't surpass you at all, because the intensity of your interpretations can't be matched at all. Congratulations Jack Bruce!! I wished I could have jammed onstage with you, both of us on bass...I'll 'research' more on your BBC concerts. Yeah, your more recent releases in your site... Carlos Bill on bass.

The year of the concert of the Jack Bruce Band at the Paris Theatre, London, was 1971 and not 1977, as wrongly reported in the cd. Carlos Bill on bass.

Jack, I agree that you and Jeff Beck would be great together. I've always thought so. Is Billy Cobham available? Just a suggestion. Keep up the GREAT music. As long as you're willing to write, sing and play, I'm willing to listen. Cheers.

Hi Jack, This is not the first time I've posted in your guestbook! The last time I posted was before I went to see you perform with Robin Trower and Gary Husband at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London back in August last year. The show was absolutely breathtaking; I was very close to the stage and could almost touch your tweed jacket. Well......I'm very pleased to say that I have recently acquired tickets for your Monday night show at Ronnie Scott's (1st March 2010). To say that I am looking forward to seeing you again is an understatement. There is simply nobody around who can compete with your bass skills! I appreciate that loads of people make set list requests to you but I would love to hear you play one of the following:- 1. Traintime 2. Spoonful 3. I'm so glad Keep up the good work and (please) don't stop touring!! As long as I get a show in London from you once a year, I will be kept happy!!!! All the best and good health to you and yours. Ta, Ricky

Greetings Jack: I am a long-time fan of your music dating back to the late 60s. I have seen you in concert numerous times, most recently in NYC in 2005 I believe with the Cuicoland Express. I met you and Bernie Worrell that night and I also met you briefly after a gig on snowy night in Philadelphia on your tour with Ginger Baker in 1990 (I believe). As you were my favorite musician for so many years it was a dream come true to meet you face-to-face and have the opportunity to tell what your music has meant to me. I also met your ex-wife Janet Godfrey prior to a gig at the Bottom Line in NYC in 1977. She was quite gracious and walked my friend and I to the box office personally and had us placed on the guest list for the second show! I did not get to meet you that night but it was a thrill to have my friend take my photo with Ms. Godfrey and to see both sets of your performance that night. I saw Rick Derringer in the audience by the way, and you and the band were killer! I saw your son Malcolm perform with Leslie West and Corky Laing last week in Collingswood NJ. I was quite impressed with Malcolm's musicianship. As enjoyable as the show was, it would be great to see you perform again with Leslie and Corky. I would like to thank you for all the fabulous music through the years and wish you continued good health and success in all of your endeavors. Hope to see you perform in the states again soon. Warmest regards, Bob Clayton Bordentown, New Jersey USA

JACK, CELBRATING MY 57TH BIRTHDAY TODAY, AND THE IFRST VIDEO I WATCHED TODAY WAS YOU SINGING "THEME FOR AN IMAGINARY WESTERN", THE PERFORMANCE THAT YOU INTRODUCED THE SONG AND DEDICATED IT TO FELIX, THAT WAS SO COOL OF YOU TO DO THAT, I FEEL LIKE FELIX WAS A FRIEND TO ME TOO, LOVED MOUNTAIN ALMOST AS MUCH AS I LOVED CREAM, AND AS I TOLD YOU BEFORE, I AM A SINGER AND PLAY HARP IN MY BAND, THE BERETTA BLUES EXPRESS, AND WE HOPE TO HAVE OUR CD DONE IN MARCH OR APRIL. IT WILL BE A TEN SONG TRIBUTE ALBUM TO 10 OF THE PAST BLUES GREATS, LIKE MUDDY, WILLIE, ELMORE, T BONE, DUANE, STEVIE RAY, AND PAUL BUTTERFIELD. PAUL AND YOU HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST INFLUENCES IN MY HARP PLAYING, YOUR VERSION OF TRAINTIME ON WHEELS OF FIRE FROM 68 WAS "AWESOME" AND I ENJOYED YOUR VERSION OF ROLLIN AND TUMBLIN FROM YOUR REUNION CONCERT WITH ERIC AND GINGER IN 2005. JACK, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AN INFLUENCE IN MY SINGING AND PLAYING, AND LIKE YOU, I PLAY AND SING FROM THE HEART AND REALLY LOVE THE BLUES. THANK YOU, JACK, CONTINUED GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES IN ALL YOU DO.

Great Show in the Albert Hall. Your writing with Mr.Brown is kind of Genius. What are you by the way. This is not a BASS Guitar you play. This is extremely Lead bass or whatever. Poor Ginger, he lost his hearing because of you an Eric. Do you really get on with Ginger now ? Any Posibillity to get the hole thing from 2005. I would love to see more from this.

Hi Jack. It will be fine if I can find your new biography, COMPOSING HIMSELF: THE AUTHORISED BIOGRAPHY, by master Harry Shapiro, as soon as it will be released in Brazil. Because you cited Harry on the liner notes of the cd BBC Live In Concert, of 1971, recorded in London's Paris Theatre, in which he told the tragic story of Graham Bond (the fine book: Graham Bond: The Mighty Shadow), I can suppose how deep and full of variety and new facts must be this book. Best, Carlos Bill, bass player, composer.
