Dear Jack: I just heard of your recent surgery. I wish you a healthy and speedy recovery. I have been a long time fan of yours unfortunately having seen you perform only twice in New Orleans. Once when you were touring with Jack Bruce and Friends at the Warehouse and at Storyville Music Club. I look forward to your new projects. Thanks for the wonderful music. Happy New Year. Mike

So glad to hear you're recovering, Jack. Hurry back we still need your music so much.
If it helps I've been a fan since the Cream days when, as a fellow bass player, I was bowled over by your awesome talent. Thank you and please get up and get out there again as soon as you feel fit enough.
Warmest regards
John

I originally created the Cuicoland Express website as a favour for a friend - Dennis Lawrenson. It's been a few years since then and I have grown to appreciate your music and energy (how could I avoid it with an advocate like Dennis extolling your virtues). I sincerely hope that your recovery is a complete one and that you get back to the thing they (the contributors to the Friends of Jack Bruce newsletter) all love so much.
Cheers for the new year and good luck to you and those you love.

Dear Jack! Actually I had been entering this web site to express my enthusiasm and thankfulness for "More Jack than God" (which one of the "Old Masters" is still able to create music of such beauty, freshness and intensity? Only you!), but instead of fighting with my English I was forced to read that you were fighting with death. I am very relieved that the healing powers have gained the upper hand in the meantime!!! THANK GOD (more than Jack??). During your steady and peaceful recovery and whilst preparing for the trip to Cuba, I'd suggest you compose that piece of Classical Music, that you talked about in an interview in the mid eighties. Was it a cello concert or a string quartet? Make it a symphony or an opera. YOU can do anything if you want to. May you and your family enjoy many more happy Christmas dinners (clumsy English but only the best intentions...)! Joern Schummer

Cream w/ Jack Bruce came to Dallas Texas 2 times, March 30, 1968 and October 25, 1969 was their farewell tour. As a young hipster of 14 & 15 years old then, I will always remember Jack and his bass and his fantastic vocals, but when he and Ginger do Traintime, and Jack blows that Harp, the world stands still. I always search for his CD's and will treasure them forever. Now @ 50, we all have paid a dear price for our rock and roll years, health problems, legal issues, drug problems, but when we can sit back and listen to the music the true joy and happiness of those days returns,as "We were on the way to a dream" (Deserted Cities of the Heart). Just like the Pressed Rat and Warthog, "it was all they had got"!! Peace and Love,

I read with sadness today about your health.You were an important part of my life. Although we have never met, I can say that through your music we have. I grew up in the 60's and began listening to Creme in 1967. I was at the Filmore for the Wheels of Fire concert. Your "Songs For A Tailor" album remains one of my favorite records from that period. I am now a 52yr. retired New York City Mounted Police Officer, but in my heart I will alway's be that kid at the Filmore watching an incredible performer. I wish you all the best in your recovery. God bless you, and your family.

JACK, HOPE YOU HAD A MERRY XMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. GLAD TO HEAR YOU ARE DOING WELL. I'VE SENT EMAILS TO YOU BEFORE, BUT I WAS UNABLE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS SINCE I ENDED UP RELOCATING FROM CHICAGO. BEFORE I LEFT I GOT THE CHANCE TO PLAY AT BUDDY GUY'S LEGENDS IN CHICAGO, AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF OTHER CLUBS. WHEN I DID "SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD" I DEDICATED IT TO YOU AND A SPEEDY RECOVERY. I WORKED OUT A GOOD HARMONICA PART FOR THE SONG, REPLACING THE GUITAR SOLO IN THE MIDDLE WITH A HARMONICA SOLO. BEST WISHES JACK FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR FROM A LONG TIME FAN,

Hello,
I know you probably get this sort of thing all the time but I hope you make a speedy recovery from both the surgery and the illness that made the surgery happen!
I'm 24 and from glasgow (and a singing bass player hehe) so I've drawn inspiration from your career - let it continue for a long time to come (or for as long as you thirst for it).
To your good health!

Hope you get well soon and leave tobaco in the past. There's mush to do before God send for you in a natural way.I wish you a merry and healthful life ride so I hope from now on you'll take care of health as hell because it's a great feeling and a very high "ride".Like Santana said "Purify your mind and clean your body".Well you dont need to do to your mind, so many loves and respect you. But let do that to your body. Start with plant juices and organic meat. I've always pray for you to do a better album in each try. But life has been ups and downs and not always it has been like I would like to people respond,specialy you that record music as a card for shows. This is the first time I've tried to contact you in any way and hope this get's trou. Hope to see you some day best wishes: Pedro F.

This is the first I've heard of your illness. I wish you the best. I've had the great good fortune of seeing you live several times, as well as having collected a wide variety of your work. I'm old enough now that I don't go to concerts much any more. I will, however, go to see a select few, such as Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Johnny Winter, and, of course, Jack Bruce. Get well soon, and I hope I can see you playing live again in the near future.

I am just learning of your illness. I hope that this new year will bring only the very best for you.
Theme From An Imaginary Western is probably my favorite song...it literally changed the direction of my entire life...
I was listening to a version of Theme and looked into the mirror while driving along the beach. The sun was falling into the water*..it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
All of this happened-by accident-some 34 years ago.
Thank you so much for creating this song.
Very Best Regards,

Jack, you have been such a tremendous influence on my career as a bassist. I was really floored to hear about your surgery, but very happpy to hear that you are doing well. I am one of those die hards who have been following you around from Cream to the present. I am proud to say that as a bass player, I have been kicked out of more bands for playing my 67' Gibson EB3. I would have to say that out of all bass players, (having never taken a lesson in my life) that you have been the sole mentor in my life as a musician. I don't think there has ever been anybody in my lifetime that has blown me away as much as you have with your unique playing and incredible singing. Just by coincidence, after playing in the business for over 30 years, I have finally found the time to put together a "Cream Tribute Band" in the NYC area. The agents are waiting to book us at B.B. Kings (saw you there too, as well as Madison Square Garden on your "goodbye" tour with Eric and Ginger)) and clubs like it. You see, tribute bands are quite popular in NY, but no one has had the courage (or talent) to take on this "lost art." I have found Ginger, and think we have Eric, so this could be my lifelong dream of playing the music that I love to play the most. Please take it as "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." I had always hoped to meet you one day to get a few tips from the "master" but having heard about your illness, I wanted to convey my appreciation to you for having been a special part of my musical life. In my travels I know that there are a lot of bass players who feel the same way, and I thought you should know this at this time. Even though we are strangers, we share a special musical bond, and I thank you for being my teacher all these years!! I wish you the best and a speedy recovery. I still hope to meet you one day, but I will settle for seeing and hearing you once again on stage!!! You are the BEST! Take Care Jack!!! Michael

Hello Mr. Bruce, First I would like to wish you well and I am happy you are recovering from your illness. Secondly, I want to tell you what an honor it is to be able to actually email you and express how much your music has encouraged and enlightened me through the years. Your work with CREAM was something that got me on the road to playing guitar and I have been at it since I played SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE as the first song I played in public. (We ended up playing it three times that night! I was 15 years old and I knew this was for me!) I followed your solo music as well, and was amazed at the direction your solo music took. SONGS FOR A TAILOR and HOW'S TRICKS are still favorites! I was crazy about your music with Leslie West, and was floored beyond words with your work on Gary Moore's solo albums. Then, the album with BBM!!!!! It was amazing to hear your music with Gary. (I find it hard to believe he is not more popular in the USA than he is. I wish he could tour here. He is my most inspiring guitarist when I want to get out of a rut and feel the passion in music. Phil Keaggy does the same for me as well.) I was really floored when I saw the live footage of BBM doing the CREAM set, and was really excited when I bought your 50th Birtday party CD. Great stuff! I am sorry I have gotten so long winded here, but I do appreciate being able to tell you how much I appreciate you and your music! Best wishes in your recovery and in the New Year! God Bless you and your family! Sincerely, Neal Williams USA

Dear Jack I am Polish, and in'60, '70 and '80 I live under Communist rule. Listen to foreign records was forbidden. So receiving Your records first with Graham Bond, next with Cream and so on, and finally your solo beautiful output was for us so deep experience like sex. Really! It helped me and my friends to survive this difficult, totally 'grey' without colors - time. Your music was, and is incredible. I love it. And I'm still looking for your records. Be well, and play for us. It helped, and it helping us ceaseless. Sincerely Jacek Ss. Szepan

Jack, just hope you're doing well. Listening to Cream as a teenager encouraged me to take up bass as a college freshman. Reading interviews re your influences back then led me to discover Bach (bought a 20+ LP set of the Complete Organ Works back in 1968 because of you) and then the other classics. Essentially, you were istrumental in opening for me a world of music of all kinds that I've enjoyed for more than 30 years. Thank you.

Best wishes Jack and a speedy recovery, I'm a big fan of all the music that you have shared with us over the years/ it was in fact your big brother Charlie who introduced me to Cream when I worked with him in the Head Post Office george square. And that wasn't yesterday. Cheers Jim Clark

I always enjoy your music; your great voice, your melodic and lyrical creativity go well beyond the bounds of the ordinary into the extraordinary. Your fresh, inventive harmonic progressions and melodic pathways direct my mind and spirit on wonderful new journeys of exploration and discovery. This is true not just when listening for the first time but again and again and again.
The world is blessed by your recovery.

Dear Jack--
I was so surprised to hear of your surgery. Sure sounds serious. Glad you are healing up nicely and have cooked Christmas dinner!
When I was a teenager, i first was turned on to Cream. Having bought all their albums, I was saddened to learn of Cream's break-up. Today, being older and wiser (one hopes) I realize nothing lasts forever and that (as my wife says) good things come out of changes.
When I purchased "Songs for a Tailor" so long ago, I became hooked on your solo sound. Since then, I have purchased all your albums.
Please stay healthy and continue to make great music. My own son is a jazz tenor sax man and is part of Chico Hamilton's Euphoria, so I appreciate music and the difference it makes in our lives.
Please go on with your musical vision and make our tormented world a sweeter place through your talent and leadership. We here in the colonies have not forgotten Jack Bruce and his legacy from Cream onward.
May I add that I am happy your back catalog is now available on CD.
Best wishes and stay healthy
D Schwam A musical acolyte of yours

It is great to hear that you are doing better. You have been such a tremendous influence on everyone who ever picked up a bass guitar. I still carry the torch and a play a Gibson EB-3 (of which I have three), which will forever be known as "The Jack Bruce Bass".

Dear Jack - just to say it was great to meet you after all these years when we briefly spoke after the 'Legends of Rock' concert you headlined at the Cliffs Pavillion, Southend on Sea, November 2002. I first saw you, with Cream, at Woodlands Youth Centre, Basildon in early 1967. The good family friend, who had just taken over running the place, took a piece of paper round to the dressing room which you and Eric Clapton signed for me. When I related this to you at Southend - and mentioned that Ginger Baker had not signed - you replied rather dryly that 'Ginger could not write.' I did manage, through a friend who had access to tickets at the time, to get to the first of your two 'Farewell' concerts at the Albert Hall in 1968 (when I tell other guitar playing friends of these two events, they are mighty envious). It was nice though to speak with you after all the years, and to tell you how much I liked your (then) latest album 'Shadows In The Air.' After saying that this show was not 'your cup of tea' you kindly signed my ticket and shook my hand. I understand what you meant because all that heavy stuff is not to my taste either (nowhere as good as Cream were). I really have enjoyed your music though because you have stayed true to your real musical values and beliefs. I now have all your original albums on CD as well as your latest couple on the Sanctuary label. I do hope to catch up with again soon, this time with you own band in performance. Hopefully it will not be too long. All the very best to you - From Bob Cross.

Hope you are doing well Jack and thanks so much for all the years of great music.
I was born in 1952, so my JR.High and High School years were 1964 thru 1970. Wow, great years for music!
The first album I ever bought in my life was Wheels of Fire. I used to fall asleep with Cream turned way down low so it wouldn't wake my parents. Those were the days...yes they were!
I was a Cream Freak for aleast ten years and still love it today. For me it was not just about Clapton...it was about you on bass and Ginger on the drums as well. The bands energy was simply electric! You have a great voice and I love the way you write music.
Like so many other people I was sad when Goodbye Cream came out. I moved on with West,Bruce,and Lang.....BLT and the others.
Keep up the good work Jack. You make life better for alot of people thru your music. Your family must be very proud of you. We admire your talent.
Best Wishes Jeff & Diana Detwiler 2619 11th Street Altoona, Pa 16601

I was stunned to hear about your affliction! I'm very glad you're still with us!!
I've been studying and enjoying your playing since about 1966, but have only been lucky enough to see you live once at the Greek in LA - the Beatles music tribute band gig in 2002(?).
You were WONDERFUL at that show - your rendition of Eleanor Rigby blew Paul McC's away, and the jam at the end of White Room was truly astounding. I really wish I could go back and see all the great shows that I have missed.
Be well, and keep playing that amazing, multicolored music that you create.
Thanks for all the great years!!

Yo,Jack! and to Jack's Margrit....how about the title of your next CD..."MARJACK", what u think? Anyway...much luv and good vibes being sent ur way! and PRAYERS!! Hope ur continuing to recover.... Jack, the other nite Leslie and Corky played BB's-2 sets(Yo, granted he's one fine guitarist, but he's like a lounge act....too bad). However, he mentioned you at both sets and also did"Why Dontcha" and "Theme" ( God bless his big(formerly) fat heart.) He was pretty funny,tho,HIS SPEAKING voice is Exactly like HARVEY FIERSTEIN. Anyway, he was giving away some promo guitar and when he gave it to the thrilled woman he classly said :"You're not gonna sell this to buy dope, are you?"

When I got into rock music at the age of 14 my first heroes were Cream and Mountain who almost immediately split. Imagine my delight when within weeks it was announced that members were uniting to form West, Bruce And Laing. In April 1973 my first ever gig was WB&L at Newcastle and I have remained a firm fan af the members and their seperate ways ever since, being espercailly delighted to find an import copy of Leslie's "Theme" album with Jack back in the 80's. Jack has always written great songs whether with Cream, WB&L or solo and I'm delighted that he'll be around for a while yet. "Shadows In The Dark" was great and I look forward to hearing the new one. All the best Jack, Trev

I've not checked this site in a while, but saw in the new issue of Q, which gives a well deserved 4 star rating to the recently released retrospective, that Jack had been seriously ill. I am happy beyond words to hear that the prognosis is good. For more than 30 years Jack has been at the top of my list of favorite musicians and I will gladly debate with anyone my contention that Jack is the main reason Cream was so good. Clapton has never played guitar like he did when he was struggling to keep up with the pace set by Jack in virtually every Cream song. Every solo album he has released, from Songs for a Tailor on is a cherished posession and has offered inspiration to me many time over the years. Hang in there Jack! I know there are many more good albums inside you and with each new release you brighten my life more than you can know. Get well soon!

Hello Jack, I am hoping you will remember who I am. When you were at Park Gate Studio, Catsfeild, in the early eighties, Ike and Sarah were my foster parents, I came to your wedding to Mary in Hastings and the six of us went for a meal afterwards. (Lorraine and I decorated the rolls while you were in the registry office) I am desperate to contact you re a base session, so sorry to hear about your recent misfortune, however, I am sure you will make full recovery, it seems you have an awful lot of love and support from the poeple around you. Here's wishing you all the best for now and the future. Take care you, love Jen.

GET WELL BUDDY!!!! I've been a huge fan of yours for decades. I saw you most recently with Ringo and was "blown away" sitting in the second row and watching you play. You are the best bass player in the history of music. I saw Leslie West this past weekend and he dedicated "Theme from an Imaginery Western" to you. You are loved...especially in this house.

Dear Jack,
You gave me a scare. I am relieved to read here that you are recovering well. Here are some things you might enjoy while you finish healing. I've heard you like Bach, so you should know about an extraordinary performance of the Brandenburg Concertos. It's by the AKADEMIE FUR ALTE MUSIK BERLIN. They're on the harmonia mundi label. They use period instruments which they manage to keep in tune! This is Bach played with soul, and they're precise as well. It's the best I've heard. Have you heard the Joni Mitchell album where her songs are re-arranged for orchestra? It's just brilliant, moving versions of great songs for designed for grown-ups (or sophisticated teens) featuring Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Brian Blade etc. It's called TRAVELOGUE. (Some of Pastorius's original basslines reappear as featured counter-melodies.) I hope you get well soon (yesterday would be good).
Sincerely, your fan,
Eliot Kleinberg

Congratulations, my best will for your full recovery, and please keep evolving as you have been,get well, even step by step, a collaborator of you told me that the good will for your recovery would make it for him and his family, because the idea of praying was not in what he grew or had been used to,I, been a (non active actually) catholic raised guy, still belive in prayers, as an alternative concept for good will, what counts is that like him and many others : we WISH for your full-good-health !!!!!BLESSINGS!!!!

I thank God that he has survived this adversity and look forward to hearing a lot more of Jack's singularly beautiful works. Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.

Jack,
So glad to hear the good news about your recovery. My sincere best wishes to you and your family.
You are my musical inspiration and the reason I took up playing the bass. In 1968 the first bass guitar I purchased was a Gibson EB3 in my attempt to emulate Jack Bruce. My playing could only replicate or perhaps draw some similarity to the man I respected and hold to this day as the greatest electric bass player on the planet. Jack and Bach are at the core of my bass interest and the rest only follow.
I had the pleasure of seeing you perform just once in Rochester NY in the 1980's. Would love to see you perform again and will try to make wherever it happens.
All the best...

Dear Jack
I hadn't been on to your website for quite some time and was checking out when you would next be appearing in the UK - I was therefore shocked to learn of your illness but it looks like you've fought and won- great news! I've followed your music since 1966 when I saw you live for the first time with Cream at Worthing. I feel priveledged to have seen you with many of your own and other bands. The current band(Nottingham 2001)together with Lifetime (wow!- Sheffield 1970) are two of my favourite gigs. I wish you a speedy full recovery and look forward to seeing you on the road again very soon.
Very best wishes

Jack, Just heard the news of your medical problems via. the article on you in the feb/mar issue of Guitar World's 'Bass Guitar' magazine . To say it was a shock would be an understatement... Needless to say I had to dial up your website and wish you well. I sincerely hope that you get to a very great age indeed. My name will probably be pretty meaningless, but we did actually meet several times; not long after the demise of 'Cream'. You used to visit Ralph's basement flat in Albany street and, to my great embarassment, walked in on me one evening when I was practising some of your basslines. Jamming along to 'I'm so glad' from the 'Goodbye' album, actually, on an old Eko Mark Clark sold me which I'd made fretless. I'm still trying to play bass... May you continue to do so for a long time yet. Cheers! Phil

Dear Jack,
All the best to you and I hope you get well pretty soon. I once shook hands with you after a Rainer Baumann concert at the "Fabrik" in Hamburg a couple of years ago. There I told you that you had always been a constant source of inspiration to me. You still are! And I am thankful for that. Therefore I would like to give you something like a proof of what your music (and Pete Brown's lyrics) mean to me: I am an abstract painter (acrylic on canvas) and would like to give you one of my paintings as a present for - have a look at my website www.webgalerie.org and I would be ever so pleased to give it to you and by the way of the power and colour of my paintings help you get well again soon. We're waiting for you... Cheers, mate - that's what you said to me when I left and I wish the same to you.
Best wishes - Hendrik Thies Hamburg

Dear Jack,
God, (and I ain't talking to Eric), I hope your doing well in your recovery. What a legendary musical career yours is and has been.
Ever since I was age two, my orbit revolved around great music. My mom had to replace my "Mr. Sandman" 45 twice (my notion of ‘great’ has been refined over these many years!).
From Cream to Lifetime to Mahavishnu to Miles and beyond, I thank the lads and YOU especially for pointing the way for me through a fabulous journey. I hope to see you soon in the states.
From my heart to yours and your family's,

Jack, I just wanted to say I hope your recovery is going well. You've been such an inspiration and such a giant of music. I regret I never caught Cream live but I did see West, Bruce and Laing at the Warehouse in New Orleans, La. many years ago. In fact I saw Mountain several months ago and mentioned to Corky that I had seen WBL way back when. I was the drummer for a band in the 60's called, "Experimental Dream". We played practically everything from Disraeli Gears. I just bought the book,"Cream" by Chris Welch. Great!!!! Anyway, thanks for your music and get well soon!!!!!

I`ve seen you many times since. As I told you , and you shrugged it off, you`re a genius.Anyway,enough of my slaver, lots of people have you in their hearts, please fight this thing off and recover,we can`t afford to lose you.All my love and best wishes during this hard time-Stephen Kennedy.

Dear Mr Bruce, You are in my thoughts & paryers. I know you will be fine, you are the product of a very special time and a survivor. I myself was diagnosed with Hep C a few years back and underwent unsucsessful treatment, but I'm "Still Alive And Well" It's a very strange thing (or Brew.)Back in the days of "Those Were The Days" Cream was my alltime favorite band. Then you know how it goes, you go through phases, and your music changes. Well, recently my 15 year old son (I'm 49)got me the Cream Bio Book for Christmas, and since then its been a non-stop steady diet of Cream. As I was listening to "Goodbye" on the Computer (is this a great invention, or what?) I started surfing the Cream web sites, and came upon your site. That was the first I had heard of your surgery. Well, once more let me say that you are in my thoughts, and Godspeed to recovery. Hope to see you in New York City on your next tour. Sincerly, Mike Rapanaro

Dear Jack Bruce!
Let me call you so and the reason is that first I heard you in far,far 1969-s,when your disk "Songs For a Tailor" appeared.I was shocked.I opened something new for me,something unknown at that time it was unlike the other music, music which being unlike the other,impressed me,by it sinkere kindness.And when I saw your photo,can't forget it till nowadays.Every time,having got your next disk with great difficulty,as the prices were and remain today too high(but usually it takes a lot of time before we can listen to your next disk) I immersed in your music world and imagined as if,I were together with you.Unforgettable time! You had everything on your way:success and disappointment,but the time proved that your are "the qiants of music"!I am glad with to every you success still many, many years.I always wanted to know about your as much .I'm interested in both: your life and work.Will you,please help me,if it's possible to know more about you not only as a musitian but as a person.We can understand music though the musitians thoughts and soul even if we don't understand the words in English.I would like to speak with you about everything.But it's a pity it's not possible to write everything in a letter.A letter is the only means communication with you ... The only hope to meet you and and to speak with group it' your concert.But in fortunately it's very difficult.Heardly I when nor be able arrive in England single hope if you will arrive in Russia,we without fall a meet.Dreams... Dear Jack Bruce! I'm very sorry,but I have a request for you. Will you please send me your photo with your original autographs or just an answer on my letter.For me it would like... a present equal "the flight to the moon"! Oh,GOD!But it's just a dream,I even can't hope for it.There are no miracles in reality!? Having finishing my letter let me wish you everything a person can wish to his friends:a successful work and a lot of happiness in your life,and also to continue gladden your admirers with your songs.Thank the time thas has presented us such a wonderful musician and man.I want you to be happy and always young! We love and always will be with you.
Ever' your Helen.

Hi Jack,
My name is Michael. I suddenly heard from a close source of Godfrey Townsend that you were ill. Until I signed onto your website today I just found out that you are making a great recovery, that's fantastic man!! I can relate, my Dad had the same illness. Unfortunately he is no longer with us but he fought a tough battle & never ever gave into this terrible disease. I have all the faith your in good hands & will fight this too.
I had the pleasure to see you live at BB Kings in NYC, Oct of 2002 & you put on a fabulous show, blew me away for sure!! I have been playing drums for 25 years, since the age of 12 & always found your bass playing very intriguing. Always love to hear those bass lines whenever I'm either playing along or just listening.
I'm counting on seeing you in the near future, so get ready to pick up that Warwick & bang out some awesome tunes again!!
God bless you & your family.
Michael.

...somehow, fortunately for me, in my musical travels I acquired a copy of Songs for a Tailor (I was 15 - 1971) and was floored by, at that time, how completely unique a sound it was. Time and again I've listened to it, year after year - it's always fresh, clear - amazing, and still unique today! I've always felt like it was my special little "find" (I know that's my conceit.) I never knew anyone who had the album (still don't) and I've played it for so many people over the years. Now I've turned my kids on to you. Your music is very special to me - thank you!

Since I was 15 (I'm 45 now), your music has never left my mind. Especially sad songs, they are the best ones. Sadness is the best translation of an artist mind, its a deep feeling. Now I read u've been in trouble with our health. I really wish you'll recover and be back among those u love as soon as possible. Weirdly I've been in the same troubles some years ago, thats another common thing, and althought I dont consider myself as an artist, many artists have had in history these kinds of problems. Life can be hard to stand but the escape key is touchy. "Ars longa vita brevis"... Artists never die in people memory.. But in your particular case, please, wait for ... 30 more years. ok? ;) Good luck! JMM

Jack, I was not aware you were having surgery and health problems. I just found your website trying to rehain some old memories I have seeing you play in Cream. I saw you playing in Detroit, Michigan USA on your first US tour at the the Grande Ballroom. I have always admired your work. I was also a rock lead singer and bass player in 60's and 70's.
I hope you have a speedy recovery and continue to enjoy life with your loved ones.
Peace, Gary Gowman

Dear Jack,
I am 53 and have admired your music since the days of Cream. I particularly like your early solo albums, Songs for a Tailor, Harmony Row and Out of the Storm. I did not even know about your illness until I read about your transplant on your website just now. I can't tell you how happy I am that you are recovering. Your music has brought me many hours of joy. Best wishes.

Jack, hope you are well and keeping strong. Only recently got into 'Hows Tricks ?' shame on me where have I been during my 52 years ? Superb stuff.
Saw you with Ringo at Shepherds Bush it was a masterclass in bass-playing. Old Ringo can now say he has played with the two greatest bassists ever (do I need to name the other ?)
much regards

Jack, glad to hear you're doing well after your surgery. I've been a fan for a very long time (I once played bass and fancied myself the next JB--not that I could ever have filled your shoes), and I still regard "Crossroads" as my all-time favorite rock tune, as much for your bass as for Eric's guitar work. It knocked my socks off when I first heard it, it knocks my socks off when I hear it these days, and it will knock my socks off 30+ years from now if I'm still around.

You're still my favorite bassist ever and my son says you're right up there with Flea and Victor Wooten. Please get well soon and give the world more of your music. Thanks so much for the pleasure your music has given me over the years.

Hi Jack!
I'm a 20 yrd old drummer and started listening to Cream at the age of six. Till today, no bassist has ever made such a huge impression on me than you did. It's a dream for me to play with a bassist of your calibre. Hearing you, Eric, and Ginger live, turned me on to improvisation like never before. I'm also a great fan of your solo work as well as, my man on the drums, Ginger Baker's.
For you to share your unique musical vision and bass playing with the world,is a great blessing. I feel that every musician shld experience your music at least once in their lifetime and be greatly inspired to push the boundaries of musical innovation. Thank you for helping me to realize this.
God Bless You.
Jason.

Hi Jack,I hope things are getting a little better for You.I am only a drummer,but I did have the good fortune of seeing You and Your band with Ginger Baker at the 23rd east caberet in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania,on 12/8/90.You were phenomenal.I gained a new respect for You,as You really put on a great show,I was wondering when You would do an album showcasing Your upright bass and cello talents,or if You are interested in that at all.I wish You the best,Jack. God Bless You and get well soon,We lost all our pioneers,and I can't take this teenage "music" any longer,You have to come out with an album at least once every decade,I was hoping You,Steve Winwood,and Rick Grech would do an album together soon,You and Steve Winwood could both sing,play the piano,that would kick ass,You don't really need Eric clapton.I've seen much better.Maybe You could get Johnny Winter!!!That would be a real epic recording,(Raising My glass for Ya,Jack!!!)

I haven't got many heroes left Jack, so I'm hoping and praying for a speedy recovery (this could be out of date so if it is, belated wishes any way!) I first heard you back in the sixties with Cream and just thought you had the most incredible expressive voice I'd heard, which seemed at times to almost mirror your playing. To me the sixties were Cream, and I still get goosebumps listening to my old scratched LPs - talk about nostalgic! Anyway enough waffle - just thanks for all the pleasure you've given over so many years Jack.

Dear Jack Bruce, since I've been twelve or thirteen years old, I hear your music, esp. with "The Cream". It has been the very best of music, I've heard. Now, thirty years later, I would like to say the same and I would like to see and to hear you one time in my life on stage. So here my question: Is it possible to see you here in Germany or in near european countries one time??? It would be the greatest for me. Hopefully, one of your greatest "fans", a fan of real music, with best wishes for you, Juergen Fischer

Dear Jack!
Since the days of Cream, you have been one of my most enduring heroes, as a musician but also as a human being. I remember very vividly how you in an interview in Guitar Player Magazine talked about how we are given the gift of music and that God will try us for it, making us prove that we are worth this gift. This statement has always stuck with me as offering a great sense of meaning for how the healing powers of music work and that they come with a prize. I guess the good Lord has tried you once more and I´m so happy and relieved that you are still with us! Thank you so much for everything and I wish you the best of luck for the future!
Yours Sincerely
Örjan Mjörnheden

Hey Jack, I would first like to wish you all the best with your recovery and the rest of your life. You have been my bass inspiration since I was 15 and started grooving on the sound of Cream. I'm still playing at the age of 48 and with you as an ideal, as a person and a musician, I hope for many more years of productivity. When you get well enough to travel iit would be great to see you in Stockholm.(I'm originally from New York.) Best wishes, Ralph

I saw Jack with Cream in the sixties at the Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen (there's a venue for you!) The power failed on stage and Jack and Ginger soldiered on with Rollin & Tumblin without amplification! At fifty two I've just bought by first bass -the inspiration from Jack that night in Aberdeen lived on all that time. Get well soon - rock still needs us fifty-somethings!

Having thought for 25 years about writing to you via a record company, I am finally getting to it. My thoughts and prayers have been with you since I learned of your operations by reading Bass Player magazine. My study, and that is the right word, of your music goes back to the late 1960's. I will always remember a friend's words, when I announced that I had purchased an electric bass. He said, "If you're gonna play bass, there's this guy you gotta hear." He then loaned me his copy of Best of Cream. I cut my bass teeth doing my best to emulate your lines and learn from them. My appreciation of your work extends way beyond the bass, as it should. I continue to marvel at the harmonic and rhythmic intricacies of your compositions. I have always enjoyed the fact that, just when my mind thought it knew where the composition was going, you took it somewhere completely unexpected. Your recordings (I'm proud to have even the hard-to-find ones)and your training video are staples of the materials used with my bass students. We look forward to many more offerings from your fertile imagination. Thank you for what you have contributed to millions world-wide. May God bless you during your continued recovery. Sincerly, Jim Allison

Hi Jack I'd like to wish you all the best for the future and hope you recover fully to carry on making great music, been a fan since cream days, I feel for your friends and family its a great strain on them, I recently lost my wife after a liver transplant she was 47 she never came out of hospital but it was something completely different to yourself, it was something called amyloidosis its quite rare and not many people have heard of it, I'd be gratful when your fighting fit and working again if you could perhaps mention the word (amyloidosis) here and there so people become aware, once again I wish you full recovery and good luck for the future.

Hello When I was about twenty years old I went to a Ceeam concert in Memphis> I had met you and some people in the Cream camp until that day that night I never payed much attention to cats that played the bass but you were the one cat that made me sit and listen!I remember going up to Duck Dunn and Steve Cropper and saying "I heard Jack Bruce last WOW why didn"t ya'll tell me and he's the one sing etc. See I was sorta the little white girl that was let into the studios here mainly because I behaved and I was a flower child and amusing to all these cats here back then and and course some of my family were in the studios. Anyway the players use to kid me saying "she loves Jack Bruce and laugh. And my reply was I don't know Jack Bruce but I love what he's laying down! You really moved me and I heard alot of the Black legends already they called ne lil sister, I drove everybody crazy about you I made Furry Lewis listen to my records. Stay in the light and I pray you'll always be all right . I'll keep you in my prayers. Love.Health and Happiness Lilsister

Hi Jack,
Listening and understanding your music has always been an enjoyable thing for me. You are always exploring new and uncharted territory and I love it. Right now I’m in the middle of playing your new CD, More Jack Than God, nice work!!
I’ve been a fan of yours since the 60’s, and still have my original albums and 8 tracks of yours & Cream as well. To this day there is always one of those CD’s in my car to listen to. True music is never tiring, only more evolving as we move through time.
Most recently, I saw your show in at the Park West in Chicago, December 2001. I still talk about the performance that night. Brilliant is an understatement. I was seated right up near the stage and heard every note you and your band played. A memory forever...Thank you, you are one of my favorite artists!
I also saw you with Ringo Starr a few years before at the same club. I’ll never forget when it was “your turn” and you launched into White Room. I was compelled to leave the people I was with and walk down the isle straight to the stage and crouch down so I wasn’t blocking anyone and just “absorb” what you were doing. You took me back to a time when I was too young to see your early shows and I’ll never forget it.
It has been five months now since your operation and I can only hope and wish you well.
I have visited Scotland and toured your country on my bicycle only to learn what a Scotsman really is. Stay strong, and most of all keep that creative flame burning! I wish you a full and healthy recovery. I know you can do it.

Hiya Jack, Sorry to read about the medical problems you have been having, but I am glad to see that you are at home and getting better after the surgery you went through. I never got to see Cream play but that band's music was a major part of my teenage life. Songs For A Tailor is an excellent album as well. Think I better check out Harmony Row and Out OF The Storm (several decades late!). Mmm, glad I came across your website I have learned loads. Take care, Jack Barron

Dear Jack Bruce!
Let me call you so and the reason is that first I heard you in far,far 1969-s,when your disk "Songs For a Tailor" appeared.I was shocked.I opened something new for me,something unknown at that time it was unlike the other music, music which being unlike the other,impressed me,by it sinkere kindness.And when I saw your photo,can't forget it till nowadays.Every time,having got your next disk with great difficulty,as the prices were and remain today too high(but usually it takes a lot of time before we can listen to your next disk) I immersed in your music world and imagined as if,I were together with you.Unforgettable time! You had everything on your way:success and disappointment,but the time proved that your are "the qiants of music"!I am glad with to every you success still many, many years.I always wanted to know about your as much .I'm interested in both: your life and work.Will you,please help me,if it's possible to know more about you not only as a musitian but as a person.We can understand music though the musitians thoughts and soul even if we don't understand the words in English.I would like to speak with you about everything.But it's a pity it's not possible to write everything in a letter.A letter is the only means communication with you ... The only hope to meet you and and to speak with group it' your concert.But in fortunately it's very difficult.Heardly I when nor be able arrive in England single hope if you will arrive in Russia,we without fall a meet.Dreams... Dear Jack Bruce! I'm very sorry,but I have a request for you. Will you please send me your photo with your original autographs or just an answer on my letter.For me it would like... a present equal "the flight to the moon"! Oh,GOD!But it's just a dream,I even can't hope for it.There are no miracles in reality!? Having finishing my letter let me wish you everything a person can wish to his friends:a successful work and a lot of happiness in your life,and also to continue gladden your admirers with your songs.Thank the time thas has presented us such a wonderful musician and man.I want you to be happy and always young! We love and always will be with you.
Ever' your Helen.
P.S.Excuse me,please my English.

Was at the Jethro Tull gig at Newcastle City Hall tonight where Ian Anderson said that Jack wasn't doing so well today. I can only hope that the spirit that got him thru the transplant sticks with him and he makes it. You only have to read the other entries to know how much he and his music mean to everyone, wherever they are. Keep fighting Jack.

Dear Jack,
I can only join the other fellows in your guestbook with my admiration to your music ever since I first heard a Cream record. As a fan of you for the past 30+ years (and my personal top-list consists only of a very limited number of blues/jazz/rock "magicians") I insist - also in the name of all my friends here - that you come to Hungary more often than in the past decade!!!! We terribly miss your concerts! Hope the latest news about you in the last entries of your guestbook mean only a temporary and short situation. So get really well soon, and now - after so many LPs, CDs and VHS casettes in my collection - I'm waiting for the postman to bring my first Jack Bruce DVD - Jack Bruce and Friends.
Best friendly wishes

Hi Jack I have been agreat fan of yours since Cream - and I'm so glad (no pun intended) that you are recovering from your operation and hope you are back in the swing soon. I have just bought "More Jack Than God", which I think is brilliant - and can't stop playing. I have just finished buying all your albums on CD (I already have all of them on vinyl). I have never been able to understand why a great musician like you with such a superb voice has not been more "popular" if that's the right word - but then when you see the some of the crap "popular" artists around it's probably not surprising, if you know what I mean. Anyway, get well soon Jack- and thanks for all the great music you've given us over the years - looking forward to your next album!

I really wish Jack ALL the best in his speedy recovery. Strangely enough I had NO idea about this and was just looking up some facts about him on the Internet. I was putting a Best of Lifetime CD (as well as Best of Cream and then his Shadows in the Air - all my own CD's I hasten to add!) onto my laptop before going off to Portugal (I need good music wherever I go) and wanted to check out one or two facts about him. That at the moment is pointless in terms of his health but please tell Jack that he - along with Miles Davis and that's pretty good company in my book - has led me to avenues in music that without his thundering bass lines and immaculate sense of the blues I wouldn't have gone down. As soon as he is on the road to recovery and he is back playing and comes over to Paris (or nearby) I will be there to see him. All the best.

It was so hot in there my girlfriend passed out and I had to revive her by pushing her wrists on the cooler marble floor, I wouldn't leave the concert though. You took your shirt off and played "Rolling and Tumbling". I saw with Cream at Olympia Stadium in '68 also, you were the BEST band ever! George Lusky

Do you remember me I was a best friend of Joe who permanently stopped me chasing the D (big ginger haired bloke) I have a punked up slide blues delta style band now called Catweezel (me and drums). You are an inspiration. I use the 66 Deluxe reverb amp that you bought on your first US tour with Cream. I bought it off Malcom years ago. I'm starting to gig more lately. If you ever want to come to a show a run some Muddy waters or Robert Johnson tunes I would be honored. God bless you Jack. Get fit quick. Pinch x

Hope you are still making a good recovery. Early reports were promising and I sincerely hope that has continued. Thank you for your music over the years. Saw you with Graham Bond and then many Cream gigs including the 1966 Windsor debut and standing on ice skates at Queens Ice Rink in London (what a strange venue that was!). Took some photos at Windsor and a couple of years ago started to digitise some of the old negatives I had kept. This enabled me to email them to Eddy for his Cream tribute pages (which I reckon is one of the best of the tribute sites) - copy this url to get there: http://www.angelfire.com/ca/oldtimers/Windsor.html

Dear Mr. Jack Bruce: I have been a lifelong fan of your music & bass playing since I was 14 years old. I saw you live only one time at a small jazz club called "Pauls Mall" many years ago in Boston Massachusetts. I am so glad you are doing well after your surgery. Take care please. Maury LaPrade

I was shocked when I heard that you were ill, and I am very pleased that you are recovering. As soon as you are fully fit make sure a return visit to Nottingham is your first gig.
Love,

Dear Jack, I hope you get through of this as soon as possible. We are living in difficult times for Rock'n'roll, and the CREAM is one of the most fantastic Bands ever, and the 3 of you're still alive. I hope you get well soon, and as a fan, and musician, I hope you guys make at least one more concert together. I have a band and CREAM is all we want to be - I know it's hard to get to you, bau, as a bass/piano player, and vocal I hope you can give us at least one more concert together. Best Wishes... Roy

When i saw the news item in Mojo mag about Jacks condition i was very saddened. Having grown up in the Detroit area and being a teenager in the sixties I was 17 in 1967 the Grande Ballroom was the place to be. I saw Cream play there and was blown away.Even though Eric Clapton was the one to break into the mainstream Jack's solo lps were what I was listoning to. When i saw that they were being reissued I bought Harmony Row and Songs For a Tailor which I think are two of the greatest albums of all time. I listen to them all the time. Here's hoping for a great and speedy recovery Jack.One of your biggest fans with love Gary Conard

I'm so sorry to suddenly find out that you've been ill. I've loved your stuff for years and saw you at the Santa Monica Civic during the tour for "I've Always Wanted to Do This." I teach music at a small private Christian school and had occasion once to play "Mickey the Fiddler" for my high school choir as an example of imaginative songwriting (they thought it was fabulous). As I type this, I'm listening to "More Jack Than God," and I have to say that you sound better than you have in years. I'm rambling - I guess I should just say that I'm glad you're recovering, and we'll pray that your good health continues.

Dear Jack,
I am originally from Iran. I heard Cream's music for the firdt time in 1967, in Iran. (This was before the take over of Islamic regime in 1979, when listening to music, especially western music became illegal and before got whipped for listening to music.) I liked it very much and enjoyed listening to innovation that was introduced by the Cream to the rock'n'roll music. After Cream disbanded, I listened to Jack Bruce's solo albums and to this day, I enjoy his music very much. I wish you a fast recovery from your operation. I hope to see you and your band in Vancouver one day.

Anyway, I have always thought that you have, bar none, the best voice ever in Rock'n'Roll. I was wondering what you were doing these days so I checked out your web site. Sorry to hear that you had cancer, but I want to wish you the best of health and recovery from your surgery. All the best, Marc

Thanks for many years of musical inspirations. As a recreational musician in my 50's, I have enjoyed for many years playing and singing music for my own pleasure that I have learned from you in my teens. I often grab my acoustic guitar and sing and play a bit of the old cream repetoire before heading off to work. Never ceases to delight me!
And I've deeply appreciated your work ever since as well.
Hope you are indeed Sitting on Top of the World! May you have many more years of vigor and happiness.
much love! astroblue

All the best - yours sincerely Richard Pallister

Dear Jack, I sure hope you are getting better daily. I went through cancer treatment myself last year for throat cancer. I opted to avoid surgery because I likely would have been disfigured and wouldn't have been able to play the harmonica. Chemo and radiation were rough but I pulled through and am so far cancer free. I hope it works out as well for you. Say I was listening to a live recording of Ten Years After yesterday and I was thinking you and Alvin Lee would really be a great duo for a concert or tour when you are up and about again. Just an idea. My page for you on my music web site is still one of the most popular. Best wishes, Joe

Dear Jack,
seven years ago I wrote a little, sad song. I broke with my girlfriend after three years of war, fire and pain. I looked into myself, and I find so much love, for me, my life, my music, my home and my verses.
So I wrote this little song I called "With the heart of Jack Bruce", to say how much beautiful was my life and how big was my soul.

I bought myself a new stereo equipment, and decided that the first cd to play and test the new stuff was to be Jack Bruce latest cd More Jack Than God. I just sat on the middle of the floor as his pumping bas came towards me from all directions. I thought to myself "This man is a true genius, and thank God he is still among us". I wish You all the best Jack. I saw You back in the seventies here in Gothenburg, first with West Bruce and Laing, and later with the Jack Bruce Band, strong memories to have. Jan.

Hi Jack. I 21 years old from Toronto. I just started listening to Cream and I just fell in love with the music. There's only a few bands that inspire people even 35 years after they stopped existing. I want to thank you very dearly for everything that you've brought to rock. I hope everything is going well with your health and that you recover as soon as possible. All the best, Redon.

Jack,
I just recently learned of your illness. Sorry to hear you had to go through such a difficult time, but glad to hear your doing well now. When I heard of your illnes was deeply saddened. I'm usually not the kind that gets caught up in the "celebrity" thing, but with you it's different. You've given me many, many years of listening pleasure. I'm also a bass player, and you have always been an inspiration for me. You're an extremely gifted and talented man. On the few occasions that I've seen you perform you came across as a very humble and pleasant person. That just adds to my admiration for you. Anyway, here's hoping for a speedy recovery and I look forward to hearing more music from you in the future. God bless.

Dear Jack
I had not heard about your health situation until I went to your web site today (March 23/04). I was shocked to hear that you had cancer but am glad that you are recovering well. May your recovery be swift and complete!
I recently started to listen to Cream again after listening only occasionally. (My musical diet lately has been punk and Cream - the really short and the really long heavier stuff.) I always felt that Cream was one of the greatest bands. The music, particularly the live material, is still incredible.
Cream was the first band I ever saw, in Vancouver when I was 13. When I listen to Cream I like to focus on your bass playing (no offense Eric). It is strong and tough but also melodic and beautifully so. I am thinking of buying a bass and learning to play even though part of me thinks that a 48 year old so-so guitar player shouldn't bother trying. But when I listen to your playing I always want to pick up a bass.
Thank you for your music. May you make much more.
Wishing you the best of health Bruce McLennan Ottawa, Ontario

jack bruce was as important to my bass playing as my parents were for buying me my first bass guitar. trying to find someone out there in the music world that played anywhere near the concept i heard in my head, i found Jack's individuality and musicality to be the perfect complement to John Entwistle's pentatonic style.In the music of The Who, Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Cream, i found similar voices to make me feel confident that a singing, melodic, contrapuntal and soloistic style of bass playing was o.k. to pursue, despite the protests of peers with no visions of their own. for this i shall always be grateful.
the bass is free thanks to people like Jack..thank you, Jack, THANK YOU for taking everything you heard, rolling it up and using it along with your desire to play the bass guitar as melodic counterpoint and lead. His indian influences, classical, jazz, rhythm and blues, etc were perfect for showing me that music is music and instruments are vehicles to one's expression.
i'm proud to claim him as a seminal influence and say that he will go down in history as one of the greatest musicians to bend the bass guitar to his will.
Cheers indeed to this rugged individualist, one of the best ever at being himself.
all my love to you and your family, Jack Bruce!! you are a blessing to more people than you know.
respectfully, Richard M. Rogers electric bass guitarist.
p.s. from wellman braud and pops foster, to walter page and jimmy blanton, to charles mingus and scott lafaro, to jimmy garrison and ron carter, to milt hinton and Niels Henning Orsted Pedersen, Jack is a giant himself and will be noted in the history books for his contributions to music!

Dear Jack:
I've been a huge fan of yours since Disraeli Gears; I was just listening to the CD tonight with a friend - it's my favorite recording of all time, in any genre.
I'd like to know whether you would consider collaborating on a project: I'd like to bring some people together to speculate on what might have resulted from the recording session that was suggested with Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Tony Williams and yourself.
I've submitted a similar inquiry to Wayne Shorter, and to Mitch Mitchell. I'm hoping that Mitch will be willing to contribute his recollections of conversations with Jimi about jazz and music theory, and particularly his knowledge about conversations that took place between Jimi and Miles.
Best wishes for a successful and rapid recovery, Jack!
Sincerely,
James Nichols

Coming of age at the time Cream came out it was your great playing that made me appreciate how much you did to fill out your band's sound and of course your voice was the signature vocal. I was just listening to Crossroads today and WOW! you tore it up on that song! Thanks for all the great music. Wishing you a continued recovery!

Once, years ago, you were kind enough to stop and say "hello" to an ardent fan in the lobby of the Park West Theatre in Chicago, Illinois while on your way to your afternoon sound check. The evening concert was superb. Your music has affected me profoundly, brings me joy to this day, and I am glad you are still with us.

Dear Jack, I am just learning the bass at the tender age of 42 with the guidance of other local Sudbury musicians.
Today we played N.S.U. so I thought it was time to find the bass tab via activebass.org and seek more current information on yourself. Quite a shock to hear of your illness, I hope you are recovering well and will soon be touring again.
You not only are an influence on my playing but the music of Cream was some of the first non-pop music I ever heard and really broadened my musical horizons at the tender age of 12.
Get well soon.

Get well soon, I want to hear your music as soon as possible - the last time I saw you and your friends in Essen -The Ringo Starr an his All Star Band - it was a very good feeling to hear and see a whole family on stage having fun while playing the best music one can dream of. I´m waiting for your next performance........
May all your wishes become true Karola (Sorry for my English, I wasn`t a very good pupil...)

A while back I was browsing through some music zines and read about your health problem. I was happy to see the news of your recovery on your website today. I played drums in a power trio when I was 19 and my friends and I had "Wheels Of Fire" for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm not kidding Jack, it was our template! My girlfriend and I saw you at the Ivanhoe in Chicago during the 70's on one of your solo tours. Thanks for all your music and be well!!!

Thanks Jack, You are my bass guru: I dropped the drums and took up the bass in 1967 after hearing you play - and never looked back! Always what I call the 'evolving rhythm pattern' that turned me on so much: winding and snaking your way like a bird in flight through the piece, yet still remaining rooted in the solar plexus of the song (and me) - unlike the boring 'rubber stamp' repetitive style used by everybody else. Your bass playing lives, and it lives in me. I owe you. Unfortunately missed meeting (and hopefully jamming with) Ginger in South Africa, where I come from, due to bad planning and extremely sorry about that 'cos he also lives in me - his earthy tom tom style and feel is still my favourite. You two together have formed a foundation of influence for me which still fires me up to this day. You two should've been Jimi's backing: now THAT would've been something! I wish I could meet you someday. Everything of the best, my friend. Wishing you long life and best health. Geof Harris

Dear Jack, News of your transplant came as quite a shock. My favourite composer, singer. Been playing your music since "The Creams". Even like your own albums better. "More Jack than God" is very, very good. Saw you twice in Rotterdam, one time with Leslie West in De Doelen, and with Clem Clempson in Parkzicht. Please be careful with your health, if it means not going on the road - don't. Warm greetings to Margrit and your family. Hope you enjoy a lot more years to come. Martin.

Jack,
So glad to hear good news. I check in to your website very infrequently and was very saddened to learn of your trouble. It is a shame such a big "pond" separates us! I would go to see you any chance I got. Funny story as I believe I saw you at the Strand in Redondo Beach only twice. I bought tickets once and had a mind fart! I showed up the day AFTER your performance! I felt like such an ASS! To be fair, I often forget what I had for breakfast! God speed and hope to see you in L.A. soon.

Dear Mr. Bruce, Here's wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery. My dad introduced me to Harmony Row during my teens and it is now my Desert Island disc. I was going to single out Morning Story and The Consul at Sunset as my favourites but man, the whole album's amazing!
I really love Songs for a Taylor and Out of the Storm too and my next discovery will be Things We Like.
Thank you, thank you and thank you for all this wonderful music! (along with Pete Brown's wonderful words)

I am so glad to hear that Jack is recovering well. I am a big fan. My best memory of Jack was a concert with West, Bruce and Laing in 1972 at the Fox theatre in St. Louis, MO. J.Geils was the warm-up band. That was probably one of the best concerts I have attended. My friends and I still talk about it. Best wishes and a speedy recovery. Larry

By the way, I apologize for the couple of bottles of milk I borrowed from you in 1970 in Kensington but I was hungry and it was a manner to leave you an hommage. Recover well, André

Dear Jack,
Thank the higher power that you are OK and on the road to recovery. I have Hep C and my liver levels have remained just slightly elevated for 12 years. But that could change very quickly. I cannot say I know how you feel/felt but I did have some coping to do myself. What I do know is that I will never drink or use again, one day at a time.
I have been fortunate to have seen you perform about 4 years ago at the Hard Rock, in Las Vegas with Ringo. When you and Rudgren played your songs, I experienced what rock n roll heaven was like. Hands down... I know you are the best base player ever. Your voice is pretty terrific too. I can say it again thank G-d you are getting well. I only hope I am fortunate enough to see you perform again any of your music with any configuration of musicians.
If there is ever a Cream reunion, Steve, Bob and Mark will be the guys screaming and fainting! LOL Just like the first concert I ever went to (at Forrest Hills Tennis courts)a Beatles show during thier first tour of the USA, where all the teeny bopper girls cried and screamed, that would be us. We three say, anytime anyplace the cream would play, we are there.
Get well and thank you for all the hours nay days spent listening to your music.

Dear Jack. Words can not express how much joy and pleasure your music has afforded me. I have been a loyal fan since 1966... Until I left NYC, it was always an utmost highlight to see you perform at the old Club Bene down the shore in NJ and of course, the Bottom Line in the West Village.... PLEASE GET WELL and come perform in Phoenix AZ or Las Vegas soon!
Love the newest album and Shadows In The Air is also a gas....

Hi Jack, Hope all is well with you and your family. I feel like I have know you through the years...saw you at the Farewell Cream concert at the Forum in 68, the Roxy in the 80's and with Ringo in the 90's. I play bass because of you. Your music and brilliant lyrics have made millions of fans smile throughout the years. If you want to peer into a man's soul, just listen to the music he makes. Thanks Jack and here's to you! Speedy recovery my friend.
All the Best! Dan Cox

Jack, hope you are back to 100% again and making music soon. I e-mailed your booking agent about an idea I had for a band. The band would be comprised of you and Ginger Baker and Mark Stein and Vince Martel formerly of Vanilla Fudge. I have suggested the idea to Mark Stein and I believe he is open to it if a promoter can be found to push the idea.
My suggestion for the name of the band would be Vanilla Cream Fudge, combining the hits of both Cream and the Fudge into one band.
I know the Carmine Appice and Tim Bogert would now have a new Vanilla Fudge will never play with Mark and Vince again and I know Eric will never reform Cream with you guys. So Move on. I think thousands of peopl would pay to see a hybred band like I suggested.
If interested contact Mark Stein @ www.mark-stein.com.

Dear Jack,
I wish you all the best in your recovery. and would also like to take this time to thank you for the years of fine, inspiring music you've given us. I always look forward to more. I've always considered your voice to be one of the most unique and superb voices in rock. I still have vivid memories of your concert in Chicago in 1989 or 90 (with Ginger), at some relatively tiny bar named Biddy Mulligan's. The place was jammed, it was one of the most bitterly cold nights I can remember, your bus was late, the crowd was a disrespectful, unruly bunch. But then the music started, and suddenly everyone remembered just who they were listening to. I remember you being superb that night, and the second half of the show, when Ginger also played, was truly one the most mystical musical experiences of my life.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Please get well, and bless us with more of your music.
Most sincerely,
Jim Doherty

Being one of Jack's greatest fans I was extremely happy to find out he was doing well. I have been a blues vocalist/guitarist for thirty years, and one of my most prized posessions is his autograph I got from him when I (my trio) opened a show for him at the Agora in Cleveland 1980. It says " To Todd - He ain't the Richmond", (ref: Songs for a Tailor). It hangs framed on my wall today. After touring with Savoy Brown as lead vocalist for many shows, I still return to the music I love the most and the great freshness his music meant to me. I wish the very best for him and hope he knows his energy and voice, are and always will be a deep source of inspiration to me. Looking forward to hearing updates or any communication. I can be reached: www.toddhart.com or my email:

1.may.04 just read about the transplant. thank God everything is ok. i'll take this chance to say "Thank You", Jack... tomorrow i'll be 48 years old,and for 38 of those 48 you've been an important influence. listening to your music is always like going home, i always return to a special room in my heart, my soul, somewhere deep inside, someplace very beautiful, and your voice, and your music is the only bridge to that very special place. i was born and grew up in new york but have been living in germany for quite a while now. you are one of the reasons that i became an artist and musician. (i wish sometimes you'd written a song which would have warned me a bit more clearly about what an incredible pain in the ass it is being an artist! but then again, you did sing "born under a bad sign".) Jack. i really do thank God that you are here.it's very strange to feel so very close to someone you`ve never met. you are a part of me just as my parents and brothers are. as long as i live i`ll have that special place in my heart to go to when things are good or when there bad. Jack, you built that place. Thank you. Please get well soon. wishing you health, peace, and love. - jeff turek

Jack, I am 50 and been enjoying your music since I was about 15 or 16; in fact, I was listening to Theme From An Imaginary Western today. Though we've never met, you and the millions of other 60's/70's brothers that I've never met all mean so very, very much to me. When I get to heaven, it won't be heaven if you and they aren't there. I actually have cried every single time I hear of one of our great musicians leaving this earth. I would miss you, too. So I send you my love, I ask God to bless you, heal you, and give you many more wonderful years upon this earth. Your grateful admirer and friend, An Old Hippie, Dean From Abilene (Glenn Dean Ball)

Jack, I played in a couple of bands nearly thirty years ago. I stopped performing, except for my own pleasure. I missed it terribly, and often wondered why I really ever stopped. I am 55 years old now and have taken up the old obsession again. I found that it was always there waiting for me. I am happier than I've ever been in my life. The music keeps me going. Mostly, I just wanted to say "Thank You" Jack. You, and the musicians like you give me the inspiration to get up off my bum and live life, and accept that music is one of the rarist beauties in life. I will play until I drop. May God bless you and keep you. Thank you for sharing your gift.

All the best. 2004s best music for me has been the discovery of the rereleases of your 70s stuff. Jet Set Jewell my favorite album of the year - darn shame they didn't release it at the time. Everyone I know who listens to it is impressed (Young M Jackson fan & new music guy in particular).
Thanks

Dear Mr. Bruce, I only recently read about your operation in Bass Player magazine. To say that I am a Huge Fan and respect your work, musicality, and your place in the music world would be a real understatement. I have been praying for you and am listening to your music as I write this. I am a guitarist, and my first band was in love with the music from Cream. We learned most of the Live songs. I have almost all of your solo recordings and want to wish you well. God Bless you!!!!! I hope that perform in Chicago (my home town) or Madison,WI sometime soon. Your wonderful voice and Bass playing on "Politician" are in the backround as I write this. On behalf of my brother Tom(Bassist) and my wife and I, all blessings to you Sir. Sincerely, John Vitale

Yo Jack! I was just surfing around looking for lyrics to one of your songs and found your web site. I'm sorry to hear about you needing surgery, but way happy you are recovering. You've always been one of my favorite musicians. Might have something to do with discovering Cream and LSD at the same time, I dunno. I was lucky enough to catch a few of your shows, ie JB & Friends at the Capitol Theater (waited all night for you guys, then managed to scoot up to the second row since most of the crowd was long gone), you and Ginger in NYC (the night Eric showed up for the first show and I caught the second one. I remember that night well because my friend bumped into Clapton in our rush to get to your show and almost knocked him in front of a taxi). Anyway, best wishes for a speedy recovery. Once you're back on your feet, PLEASE come play Austin TX. See you then!

When I was all of 6 years old, I saw my first ever concert in L.A. at the Forum. It was in October Of 1968. Cream and the original Deep Purple. WOW! That's when I really knew that music would have an enormous impact on my life. Thank You, Jack, for being a big part of that. And for all the great music you've been a part of. Get Well soon. - Mario Cruz P.S.: I love the "Over The Top" album with Cozy Powell.

I am actually surprised to hear of your recent illness. I am wondering if it was just a genetic dispostition or if you came into contact with a natural opportunistic infection, ect.
It appears you are coming along well and I wish you all the best. You are a good mentor, talent, and dignified man. It would be nice and I feel the world will soon come to know of your true musical gifts. You haven't sold out mate.
You are a true musician.
Get well and tour the midwestern U.S. We would like to see you/

Dear Jack:
I won a Grammy because of you. Way back when, your cover of the old Chess stuff sparked my interest in the Blues. Growing up in Chicago gave me plenty of opportunities to pursue those interests, and I became friendly with Muddy Waters, who subsequently put my lyrics to three of his songs: "Unk in Funk," "Electric Man" and "Bus Driver." While none of them would rank, in my opinion, in his top 2500 or so recordings, it was pretty cool to hear my pals say that Chuck Berry, the Stones and Cream were recording Muddy's songs, and he was recording MINE. Bus Driver was fortuitously enough on the Columbia/BlueSky album "Hard Again," which wound up winning a Grammy in '77, so I got one as well. Your voice, your music and your live performances are among the great memories of my life, and I will forever be grateful for that. Among the most special of those memories was taking my son, now 17, to see you with Ringo's band at the Park West, I imagine 4 or 5 years ago. Another very special memory was your show at the small club, Biddy Mulligan's with Ginger on a cold Chicago night in December of 1989. You had another drummer for the first set, and as the crowd shouted for Ginger, you got pretty pissed off, which you had every right to be. I would've hated to have been that other drummer; it was a rude crowd, alright. But both sets were great. Anyway, these days I'm still writing songs, have been recorded by Joan Jett, Clarence Clemons and George Thorogood, and once penned a Levi's commercial recorded by John Lee Hooker. I'm also a screenwriter and a playwright. In 1990, I was asked to write an episode for a CBS-TV series, "The Trials of Rosie O'Neill," about a public defender. The story I created was about a blues singer, "Fish Fry Baby," who's song is ripped off by a punk band. In the trial, Rosie, representing the blues singer who has kidnapped the leader of the punk band to be ransomed for back royalties, gives a closing argument talking about the power of the blues. In her speech is a line "How many kids will ever know that before Cream recorded 'I'm So Glad,' Skip James had to write it?" Well Jack, I didn't know it back in '66 when I first heard Fresh Cream. But I learned quickly. Thanks again for introducing me to the founding fathers of rock n roll. I try every day to pass a little of that along.
I can't wait to see you again. Sure wish I'd seen BBM. I know you hear this stuff all the time, but "Next Dream," to me, ranks up there with the best Cream songs.
Finally - I have to ask you this - will "White Room" have new significance for you after a long hospital stay?
Rock on, Brave Ulysses.

I know I am young (28 years old)and I haven't listened all great bass players of Jazz and Rock, but I think you are one of the greatest and most complete bass players of the last century and of the world today. My best wishes. Greetings from Mexico (I hope you will come to Monterrey). José Luis Garza

I saw you play at the "free" concert in Hyde Park in 1971 and twenty years later in 1991 I saw you play at the "Grand" at Clapham... good memories... thankyou ! I wish you a speedy recovery and hope that if your health allows that you won`t retire ... Good Luck !

I've enjoyed all the new albums, particularly the last two, and all the remasters. The live CD is quite interesting and a pleasure to finally hear the Bruce Taylor Bley Band in a live setting.
Again, I hope you're feeling better. You've given me such extraordinary music and inspiration for more than 30 years. Many thanks.

Jack, Happy to hear that you are well and progressing back towards good health.The same year you went through your ordeal marked the 20th anniversary of the death of your friend Felix Pappalardi. I hope that when you're well enough to go back out on the road, and I trust that you will pass through Boston, that you might perform so of Felix's music (with or without a Jack Bruce twist). I have always enjoyed your bands of "FRIENDS" in the past and look forward, with great anticipation, to hearing you and them again. I am glad that your on the mend and wish you good healthfor the future. Your music, along with Felix's, has always been a source of happiness and has delivered me through difficult times in my life. So I thank you for that. Take care of yourself and be well. I look forward to seeing and hearing you again in the near future.

my god, what could i say to mr.jack bruce. i used to mic my stereo speakers and run all the live cream records through my kustom amp and jam with them. like countless others, i'm indebted to you - for teaching me how to play the bass - and for having such high musical standards - really showing me the transcendant beauty and empowerment that is, after all the changes, rhythms, meters, and melody, the essence of music. i've always wished that i could hear you in person and i look forward to having that opportunity. although i don't know you personally, your music over the years has been a light upon the path that each of us walks and i wish you a belated very happy 61st. peace, strength, happiness - bob lorick - 49 year old music major at the university of south carolina school of music - take care of yourself - thank you

You probably hear lots from other bass players. OK, I'm one too, but your music is one of the things that would make life worth living whatever instrument I played (heard you in Boston in 1977--best live performance I've attended in my life, full stop).
If good wishes count for anything, you should be flying. Hope you make it this way soon.
All the best, Bob DiNapoli

My late hubby was with Frank Carillo's band back in the 70's. His name was Kevin keane, the bass machine. He also toured with "Humble Pie" and "The BeeGees". God bless you.

Someone I work with asked me if I ever heard the rare Cream song about the bicycle. I thought for a second and said that's Queen not Cream. I told him about Anyone for Tennis and then realized that he would probably tell someone have you heard that rare Cream song about going to the dentist?

Dear Jack, So sorry to here of your recent illness and surgery but elatd to here of your recovery. I hope that each day finds you stronger and feeling better than the day before. I look forward to seeing you on stage again someday when you feel well enough, but please take good care and don't rush your recovery (listen to your doctors, their right most of the time). My brother and I have been steadfast fans of yours for almost 40 years. He's 9 years older than I, and had me listening to Fresh Cream in "66" when I was 7. I want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the joy that you have brought us and so many others for so many years! We wish you much happiness and good health in the years to come. Most truly yours, Brian (and Dennis) Woolverton.

Dear Jack, It's a bit late too congratulate you with your 61st birthday, so may I have the honour to be the first to wish you a splendid 62th one? I am so delighted to hear your latest reaction on this excellent site. But please be more specific about the exciting event that is waiting for us next year...Please don't tell us that the thing we have been waiting for for 35 years is happening at last... For what it's worth: I saw Eric performing at the RAH a few weeks ago, and he is in abetter shape than ever. What disappointed me however was the lacklustre prformance of the band (apart from Billy Preston). Time to 'clean the place up' again. Jack, you're being you gave my life so much more colour and real happiness, that I can't even begin to explain the enormity of it. We (my brother and several friends) saw nearly ALL the concerts you gave in our country and wish you ALL THE BEST!

Dear Jack: I hope You are in good spirits,and You are at least feeling well enough to get around.I do not have cancer,but My Mom has had Hodgkin's Lymphoma since 1985,on and off.She had a bone marrow transplant in 1996 from her own marrow,(stem cells which had no cancer in them bones).She had cancer 4 times on and off,so don't give in.Just wanna give You some incentive. Anyway,the reason I am writing to You telling You this is to give You some hope.I am only a drummer,(who is'nt these days),and I am 32 years old.I had the immense privelege of seeing You and Ginger Baker at the 23rd East Cabaret in Philadelphia,Pa,U.S.A.I even got both of Your autographs,You were both wonderful.I will pray for You to get better.All I know is when I seen You onstage with Ginger and the guy who was apparently filling Clapton's spot,the light hit Your arm and all I seen was trackmarks.I hope I am wrong,because My dad OD'D on Heroin and I don't want to see You go.I heard Ginger beat it after 21 years,so can't He help You out any?Or do You two really hate each other? It's none of My business,really,but I will ask God to help You through this.I'm not a real religious person,but I will ask anyway.You're a gifted musician,and We need guys like You around.You're a true pioneer.Today's music sucks,Jack!!! If You hear from Leslie West,please tell him I said hello.He's real cool.A down to Earth guy.Give My regards to Ginger as well.I was thinking,why don't You write a book of some memoirs,and Your days as an early musician till now? Take good care,God Bless-Fred Lukens,USA

Hi Jack!
I'm of your generation, a real child of the 60's. I saw you way back then with so many of the bands you were with, but my lasting memory is seeing Cream at the University of Birmingham, I would guess in or around 1966. That was a defining moment in my life, and I don't mean to sound pretentious by saying that. In my own modest way I've tried to perform the blues, and it's always been your voice and style that's been my inspiration. Until tonight I never knew you'd been ill, and I wish you all the very best for a speedy recovery. You take good care, you hear?

Jack, Glad to hear you doing better. I have a friend who is on the liver transplant list at Duke but he has problems with his portal vein. I hope he is fortunate like you. I was riding my Harley at the beach listening to Deserted Cities of the Heart. That shit still holds up. My first album was Wheels of Fire in the 60s. I saw you play in the 70s in New York with Clem Clemson on guitar and if I remember right Billy Cobham on drums. You have always been my favorite bass player and your vocals cannot be duplicated. Get well and try to talk Eric and Ginger into a reunion. If that dont work keep making music - More Jack than God is cool. Doug Corrigan age 49

Dear Jack, With the hope of perhaps finding out any news on possible appearances in New York, I just read on your website the news about your liver cancer and subsequent transplant last year.
I was glad to read your May 14th birthday entry (your birthday is shared by my wife)and felt the very positive energy and strength coming forth from your message. I wish you continued strength for a full and complete recovery and pray that the good Lord keep you well always.
Yours sincerely, Andre Gregory

The last email I sent to you I wished you well with your liver transplant. I only found out about it after it happened. I hope next year when you and Eric get Cream back together that you two could maybe hire me to do something also. I don't know what though but I'd like to at least get to meet you two. I like your album title also, it means many things to you I bet, it's funny! Well, good luck with everything you do and God bless of course.

Dear Jack -
Today after reading your birthday message, I simply must contribute one more voice to the hundreds/thousands you've heard from already. I'm a long time fan and am indebted beyond words to you for the joy, inspiration and education you've provided me all these 35+ years. After hearing about your illness last year, the haunting words of Consul at Sunset came immediately to mind. With your recovery, happily, they have again given way to hope. You've had and continue to have my silent prayers. Your voice seemed unconquerable at your autumn, 2002, New York performances at BB King's. Now I am looking forward to the next show. Take your time and bend it back again – until you can sing those unsung songs once more. Here’s to your running again out over the moon. We’ll be watching your trails as you raise your smile. A heartfelt, if belated, happy birthday!

Jack,
I just saw this and I wanted to wish you the best of luck to you and your family. Keep on Rockin, your not through yet !!
I am 52 currently, grew up in New York City and the very first concert I went to was at Madison Square Garden during the "Goodbye Cream" tour. They had this stage in the middle that would spin slowly. I wonder if that was annoying to you on stage. It was a memory I will never forget.
I love your music and you have personally given me a lot with your unique, inventive style and great voice.
G_D bless you and your family.
One last thing, I have Hep C and must have had it for over twenty years. Got told several years ago when I got rejected for life insurance. SO there will be some time where I will be waiting myself for a liver transplant.
I am a sober alcoholic for 23 years, but, and have been very fortunate.
Best of luck and I hope to see you on the stage soon.

Hope you are doing very well, Jack - and are getting stronger & stronger. You have provided me with so much happiness and inspiration... You have created some of the greatest work in the history of the music business. I saw Cream in NYC, Madison Sq. Garden, 1967 & remember it as if it was a month ago.
Push for a Cream reunion!! You deserve the money, and so does Ginger. Now that that awful manager is out of the picture (ex-Clapton manager) -- the timing is right! Talk to Eric, get it going, Jack! We'll be there for you. Plus a film to record it. Everyone wants it. I would love to handle your Internet promotion, as that is what I do for a living. Your entire fan base is on the Internet a good part of every day, like me.
Thanks for all your wonderful vocals, tremendous song-writing and great bass playing... You have brought great joy to tens of millions of people who still think about you a great deal.
Best, Geoffrey Sadwith NYC

Hi Jack,
I am a long time fan. You are one of my favorite bassists & vocalists both. I just now found out about your illness, & I am overjoyed to hear that your recovery is going so well. My mother is in the final stages of terminal cancer, so I know the grief & worry that your family has endured. I am too happy for words for them as well. I have never had the pleasure of seeing you perform live, & I hope that we get the chance to correct that soon :-). I have an extensive collection of your music, & I've enjoyed it all many times over. "FOOL'S MOON" on the GOV'T MULE: DEEP END VOL.1 album was definitely one of the highlights of that entire project. Thanks for the untold hours of listening pleasure that you have provided me with over the years. I will be thinking positively for your speedy recovery. Get well soon & ROCK ON!!!

Dear Jack, I feel that I must first tell you that you have an incredible voice and are(I think)one of the greatest bass players of all time.God has really blessed you with so many talents! As a young bass player myself, I look up to you and hope that one day I can play as well as you. I am really happy(and relieved)that your transplant was successful and that you are still with us. I look forward to when you will once again play rock & roll and keep rock & roll alive for many years to come. After all, we bass players must stick together-we are running out of them-in less than 2 years we've sadly lost John Entwistle and Noel Redding. Unfortunately they did not make it to 61, but I'm glad to know you did! Happy Birthday Jack(and I hope there's many more)and get well soon! I wish you much luck for the future! Long live rock, Kelly

Jack, it's marvelous to see that little greeting on your Web page. When I saw the first news about your illness on the CNN text crawl it hurt like all hell. This is the shadow-side of that other day. Here's hoping the recovery continues well; meantime we'll just play your music and smile. Speaking of music, it's also wonderful that your back catalogue is making its way out into the stores again. Out into the fields, indeed. I was playing *Jet Set Jewel* the other night and the playing is just astonishing, likewise the 2-CD live set with Carla Bley (I'd gotten to hear you on radio, King Biscuit? that year -- truly a great band as well), but I'm just as blown away by *More Jack Than God* -- "So They Invented Race" is a piece I'd love to play for my students in Culture Studies this coming year. Anyway, Jack, All Bright Blessings for your recovery, of course; I hope it'll cheer you to know how many of us simply play your music and think good thoughts for you. It's the least we can do, after all. Just be healthy, Jack. Much Cheer.

Glad to hear that you are on the mend and cannot wait to see you live again, last time was at the barrowlands as B.B.M. man you rocked, please remember us glesga folk when you and your people map out tour dates, in fact just organize the dates yourself and do a pub-crawl of every pub in glasgow, i'll buy the beer and carry your bass.I was not so lucky with my liver transplant, i got george best's old one (Glesga shoomur). Only jokin mate, i'm sure that after the ordeal you and your family have been thro, a wee bit of banter would not go wrong.It reminds me of my girlfriends recent visit to the doctor,every time she sneezed she had an orgasim, the doctor asked if she was taking any thing for it and she said yes lots of pepper.If I don't hear from you i will presume that the pub-crawl is cancelled and you would prefer to buy your own beer anyway.Have to go, the nurse is coming up the corridor an i'm offski, deepest admiration and respect, Big Gordon the biker, end of transmition.

Hi, Jack!I'm Che, and I'm the guitarist in a rock band. My bassist (Kelly Ackerman) already wrote you, and I suppose she said it all, but let me add I'm glad you're getting better. I saw you in Pittsburgh when you came with the All-Star Band in, I think it was 1996, and I was beside myself. You and John Entwistle are the most amazing bassistsI ever saw They should ask you to join the Who. If you ever come back to Pittsburgh, Kelly and I will be there, front row centre! Especially Kelly. I'm gonna tell her to look at your hands the whole time, and take notes! Keep on rockin, Che.

I panned my stereo to the left to try and remove Erics solos so I could hear the amazing bass work. Your playing is beyond words, never playing the same fill twice. I try to emulate your style but always fail miserably. Get well soon. Can't wait to see you on stage again. My respect always Paul Millington

Dear Jack,
about 10 years younger than You are, I've got a bad mood to read that You've got a similar desease that I've got.
Your music gave me a lot, not only good feelings living in pubescent times of growth in body, soul and consciousness, but espacially in getting old.
To become real old, that is what I wish for You. But this should happen in the best way You wish.
Good Luck V.B.

Dear Mr.Bruce I don't know if this letter will reach you with so many writting you but here goe's anyway, I have just learned of your illness after checking your web-site and it really shook me for a second and then I read of your recovery and I truly had a incredible sense of relief, Jack, I don't usually write fan letters but this one I feel I have to, to say you have been an influence on me as musician would have to be an incredible understatement, when I was fifteen and learning bass I learned very fast, influenced by the whole british invasion thing, the beatles, stones, the who etc; but when I heard you with the cream I knew where I wanted to be as a bassist, I learned so much from you, playing in the pocket, on the pocket outside the pocket ha ha ha, you were great then and you are GREAT now, I truly consider you my greatest influence and truly my main teacher on the bass. I can go on but may I say God bless you stay healthy and thank you for being the incredible musician you are. Sincerly Nick Fanelli

I was born in the 60s, and remember growing up with your music. I never turned off or turned away from a CREAM song. You're voice is haunting, soothing and just special.

I feared that the bass world was going to lose another of its greats, after the untimely death of John Entwistle. You have been and continue to be my primary inspiration (i'm a bass player myself). When i was learning to play, your music and playing were both peaks to aim for with my own development. You've inspired me with so many aspects of my musical career: bass playing, composing, singing, and just your willingness to try new and exciting things. For all of this i thank you and hope you have many, many years ahead of you.

Dear Jack,
All my blessings for continued recovery and good health! You became my mentor since the moment I first heard you play on the live "Sweet Wine" on the radio in the spring of 1970 when I was 14 years old. At the time I had no idea who or what I was listening to, only that it was the BEST!
Love and Peace,
Al

Hello Jack, I hope you are feeling well after your transplant, it really is a major operation to have; but if it cures the cancer then it is well worth it. I've been a fan since the Cream days and look forward to hearing more of your music in the future.
Goodbye and goodluck. Ken.

Cher Jack, Ta vie a été un éternel défi, chaque fois brillamment gagné. Avec et grâce à toi, le rock et le blues sont sortis de leur banalité. Tu pourras dire que ta carrière et ta personnalité ont changé la face du monde. Tu es indispensable! Si tu es trop modeste pour le dire, nous t'aiderons tous en te le disant. Si ton son, ton style, sont reconnaissables entre tous, c'est grâce aux cordes de tes guitares,mais surtout, à tes doigts, tes mains et ton brillant esprit. A bientôt, à Brussels ou ailleurs .

Jack,
wish you the best of luck. Saw you at the Uptown Kansas City, Mo. in 1983? Bill Cobham on Drums. You have the most amazing voice. Want to hear some more songs.
Good Luck Matt Wilson

Greetings: If not for you, I would surely not have become a musician(bassist!)---your playing and singing were a real inspiration for me---------I saw you play in NYC at the Bottom Line(circa 1980--the Aria bass days) and remember it like it was yesterday! Live long and prosper! Richard Myron

Even though I wasn't even born when you sang your way into the music Bible, I am proud to have grown up with your sound, and I couldn't thank you (and my parents)enough for that. I wish you the fastest of recoveries, Jack! Get well soon!

Dear Jack - Greetings from America! I'm so glad to hear your recovery is going along well. I've always been a big admirer of yours, dating back to the Graham Bond days (I still have the "Sound of '65 album! Love it!). Also, the last place that Cream ever played in the US - Providence, RI - well, the place is torn down now, but I know exactly where it is and when I drive by it I gaze at it like a shrine! You're the best damn bass player the world has ever seen (or heard). God bless you and your family, and in a parallel universe, I hope to jam with you some day (I'm a drummer) - all the best - Al
