Dear Jack, If you could read this it would make me very happy... I think you are the most underrated bass guitarist ever... You are a Genius...I repeat you are a Genius... You're better than JACO...You invented the fretless...On top of everything you are a great singer... By great I mean you are the best.... When you sing Wrapping Paper... Man you are bad...ass...Can you play drums too?

Happy New Year!! Looking foward to another great year of music (From the present but mostly the past). Hopefully those Graham Bond cds will be found by all of you searching for them. According to some music sales web sites they are released but not availible, still on order. Graham Bond has a lot of material unreleased with or without The Organization. As for Jack and Ginger, let's get some more archive material out of the vaults. All those solo albums should be released. Take care!

Two months to go til JACK BRUCE hits Sydney! In regard to a previous comment, I don't know how JB could possibly owe anyone anything when he's played nothing but the best for four decades without selling out once. March 3 roll on - MW.

Thanks for the site - I'll be back!!!! This is just a flighty visit too late in the night back to my roots. Born in 1952, I grew up with the usual stuff. I play guitar, keys, drums, programme, run a music company etc. etc. But, after over 30 years of playing live, the BASS is still my main drive. Why? Fresh Cream as a young buck and all that followed. Now? A Conklin 7 string bass, and just as busy as ever on the awsome bugger.

Jack, I could say that music comes and goes, but it doesn't actually come that often any more. But surely the good stuff will come around again. Locally, it's definately up for it. For me, you are in my blood and the fire in my heart and guts. You are essential to the serious bass as breathing is to life. Never give in. I've missed out on all you've been up to and need to connect back to my roots by seeing you perform again 2000. So I'll be back to this brilliant site asap

Kindest regards and best wishes derek

x Steve

Jack I would love to see you and the other veteran rockers who performed on Midnight daydream heard by the rest of the world. Put the music to video that is the only way you can be heard today in the industry. The project is far to big to go unheard and far to worthwhile to let it go unnoticed.

I agree with the prior poster that a video would be nice.

I've been a lifetime Bruce fan and have bought just about every album, tape and CD he has ever made. And whenever he has come to town I've always tried to see his shows.I posted a prior message on this board and I must say that I simply cannot contain my enthusiasm for the Monkjack CD.

The Masters' presentation is exquisitely elegant. And Mr. Worrel's work on the Hammond B3 really puts the hook in me. Its' a different type of set ---- just piano and organ.

If your'e a middle aged Bruce fan like me, give it a listen. I found this CD to be exceptionally "listenable", pleasing to the ears on many different levels, and goes great with a dry martini after work !

I hope that Mr. Bruce continues in this musical direction.

Take Care.

Greetings, When it's time to blow out the cobwebs, burn the corrosion of the control pots, and flex the amps muscles, I load up the CD player with "Crossroads", crank the amp, and go full out on the bass. Ahhhhhh ... and I'm ready to face the world another day. Thanks for all the great bass, Jack. Good health to you.

As an 7 years old kid (i'm now 46), my mother took me to a free jazz concert. She taught me then to separate the sound of instruments, and i liked the best to listen the bass, so i've always put a special atention to this sound. I love the jack's bass sound on Cream and as a soloist. Many years later, my son Manuel, of seven, died 18 months ago in an accident. He got a little piano for fun, but i tink that the one who wanted to be a musician was me. So,I decided to buy a bass (a gibson of 240 USD)and learn how to play it, cause it makes me feel i hear my boy's heart beating. I don´t know music at all, but i have an educated ear and an elephantic memory. My method consist in hearing a song about 20 times until i got it. I began whit "Sleepy time time" and "sunshine of your love", and thou i'm far of the solo parts i enjoy doing it and feeling Jack is my teacher. I think i'm begining to understand the instrument (and maybe me). Best wishes.

Hi,everybody here on this page. What a great pleasure I'm here in the one of the greatest artist's site! I love Jack's everything,his music,voice,play and any other. I'm looking forward to collect all the albums including Jack on recording. Do you remember M.Mantler's <LIVE> released from WATT in 1987? That's great! No blues,no rock'n'roll but musically matching with Jack's wonderful voice! Jack,won't you come to Japan and make every fans of you here happy?

I don't know if there is a video available for the 50th birthday concert. Lets' ask Derek. But by video, I hope that means DVD. Recently I installed a DVD player in my computer system and line-out the sound card to my stereo system. Its great.

I bought the Cities of the Heart CD two years ago and was absolutely stunned. I especially liked the Big Band sound on Sunshine Of Your Love. Its very hip.

I hope a DVD becomes available.

Hi, Jack!

Been a huge fan since I first saw Cream do "I feel Free" on TOTP in 1966, but especially after listening to your enormous contribution to the influential "Disraeli Gears". Changed my life, frankly! Got me into all sorts of areas and led to some great musical experiences.

I've seen you several times over the years. Personal favourite has to be the Lifetime gig in Bristol in 1970. Blew my socks off! Your spell at Ronnie's with Larry Coryell was something, too! I worked a month just to finance 2 nights at Ronnie's. It was unforgettable, plus I managed to meet you in the Downstairs Bar, where you kindly bought an impoverished schoolboy a double scotch! I did manage to repay the good deed at Manchester's "Band On The Wall" a few years later so I suppose we're all square on that one.

I've been listening to you a lot lately on "EOTH". Amazing stuff with Jack's Travelling Band, especially "Rawalpindi Blues". I do love listening to you and Johnny Mac playing together. I was lucky to have seen you (and with the awesome Tony, too, of course!). How did you feel playing with Paul Motian for the first time, given the influence that Scott La Faro had on you?

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how much your music has meant to me and how it still plays a big part in my life. Great site, too!

Thanks for everything.

Mike

Hello Jack, It's January 26 in this neck of the woods. If you're having a scotch or two tonight, hope you can make a toast with one of them to Australia Day. According to the Smiles & Grins newsletter your tour starts in Oz on February 23 in Perth. We can't wait to see you in Sydney. Great to see Ron Wilson of nearby Terranora visiting your site. All the best, Jack - Marc & Lorraine.

Back again. Besides all the tremendous news and pictures on Rope Ladder, one of the things we've enjoyed so much about the site is the number of really nice people we've met who also get so much enjoyment out of Jack's brilliant music. Thanks to people like Dennis Lawrenson, Denis Parslow, Phil Watson, Ron Wilson, Gerard Kienhorst, David Spurlock, Murillo Mathias and Derek Araujo we really have a ball on here. And our typing has improved. Thanks a lot to you guys and the other Jack Bruce fans out there - M & L.

Thanks for the update on the upcoming release. Knowing that I'll be listening to new Jack soon made my day. The photos were well done also. Another note to J.B. fans: I saw Clapton recently on t.v. "performing" White Room that was absolutely horrible! How does one ruin such a beautiful song? Ask Eric. It was torture listening to it, but since it's Jack's song I had to give it a listen.

Hey Jack!

Hope you are well, it's been a while since we have spoken. Great site but what about including the issued recordings which you made with Alexis between October '62 and January '63?

If you need any info about these recordings(and/or scans of relevant rare platters)just drop me an e-mail and I'll be happy to help.

To all you Jack Bruce fans here is some info that might help. As far as cd availablity is concerned, here's what I found out...Songs For a Tailor, How's Tricks, I've Always Wanted to Do This, BBC Live, Old Grey Whistle Test, Sitting on Top of the World and Concert Classic Vol. 9 are all still in print and can be ordered through various music web sites. Both Robin Trower albums, B.L.T. and Truce are available in one disc. Graham Bond Organisation material is just now available. Hope that helps all of you. Still waiting for Harmony Row & Out of the Storm...Hey, did anyone see Strange Brew on VH1 the other night? I think that was a first. It's about time they showed some good stuff. Can't wait for the new Jack cd. So long for now!

Ladies & Gentlemen, It's February 3 here in downtown Tweed Heads - Just one monrh til Mr.Jack Bruce blows Sydney away. We've got our JB tapes ready for the 12 hour drive down there. Judging by the latest photos of Jack, he looks so fit, he might have to stick around at Homebush, Sydney, to represent Scotland in the Olympics. Great to see Jack looking so well - M&L.

Excellent web site! Jacks playing inspired me as a fledgling bass player in the late 60's. His improvisation was unique & his ability to constantly surprise the listener by NOT playing "the Obvious" or the "Safe" option has always been a great source of pleasure to me. It is so good to know that he is still making a unique mark on music today. J.B.

Everyone has their own opinion, but to me Jack Bruce had stood the test of time since Cream some 30 years ago. Everything in blues, jazz and rock - Pastorius, McCartney, Clarke, Bromberg come to mind but nothing touches Jack. I would still rate Songs for a Tailor in my top 10 of all time. I was fortunate to see him live once in Dec. 89 in Detroit with Ginger Baker. Every song's bass line is consistently brilliant with Bach like classical overtones. Wish I could get an E-mail response like the web site author! God bless Jack. Hope to see you perform again.

The BBC did a documentary on Jack in 1969. On Omnibus I think. I seem to recall it was directed by Tony Palmer. It featured a studio session from The Songs For a Tailor line-up. Does anyone know if this programme still exists? Fresh Live Cream is an excellent video featuring 3 uncut live recordings of Sunshine, Tales of Brave Ulysses and Spoonful. In some London pub. Highly excellent.

Just to think of the musicians produced by Cream, still at their height in the year 2000!

After Cream split up - most people still heard of Eric (and why not), but Jack and Ginger disappeared from the limelight. Strangely enough it was my children who reintroduced me to him - and they were not even thought of in the days of Cream! One of my sons took up bass guitar and modelled his style on Jack. Around 94 or 95 I was flying to Amsterdam with my son and guess who was waiting for the same flight - Jack. We know he is a private man, but my son eventually approached him just to say that he admired his work.

Brilliant stuff, true musician and artist. Only I have not seen him live since the Cream Concert in Hyde Park in the 60s. Would love to get to his new tour. Must get his new album.

Thanks for the great music Jack - it just gets better.

Three weeks to go til Jack hits Sydney. Great to see there's going to be some West, BRUCE & Laing material on All Quiet In Cuicoland. That always seemed to be the most underestimated time in Jack's career to us. Can't wait. All the best - M&L.

I love Jack as a musician because I love music and he is a consummate musician. I have a Yahoo club and a web site both dedicated to music of all genre. Each is called A Love Supreme after the Coltrane classic. Each page of my web site is for a different musician or recording. Jack is page 3 after John Coltrane and John Lee Hooker. I am not trying to make any money off my site. I am just sharing the joy that is music. I have used your opening picture of Jack on my page for him and I have a link to your site. I hope this is acceptable to you. I am not intending to violate any copyright laws. If you wish you may check out my site. http://www.geocities.com/joseph_1949/home.html I wish Jack continued success. He is a great musician and my favorite bass player. I have "Golden Palominos" on back order at Tower records and I am looking forward to receiving it. By the way the Golden Palominos link on your site did not work. Peace, Joseph

Better late than never. Just like to thank Jack for some of the best musical experiences of my life. Heard Jack after I'd heard Entwhistle and Martin Turner, both great bass players. But discovered that bass by Bruce is a different thing altogether. Have the complete boxed set of Cream, Songs for a tailor, and a BLT album. Jack Bruce isn't exactly top of the pops here in India. That doesn't stop me though! If there's anyone reading this, do drop me a line. Always nice to hear from fellow followers of the greatest bassman I've ever heard.

Dear Jack,

It is clearly I who am honored by your personal response to my web site. It is odd that you should give me a boost by your graciousness today. When I awakened this morning I checked my clubs on Yahoo. One was gone. Here is the little ditty I posted so whomever did it would not know how much he had bothered me.

John Lee Hooker Lives On

I woke up this morning and turned my computer on I clicked on John Lee Hooker club and it would not come on Someone must have deleted it I knew right from the start but I was not mad, I threw no fit I would not act that part Yahoo Club johnleehooker is no more so I just started in building him another one and he is back again

http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/johnleehookerliveson

If you want blues dedicated to the boogie king join and bring a friend

(I created it November 24, 1999. Before it was deleted it was tied for 17th place in its category and had 28 members. Thems the breaks)

You have helped to lift my spirits and encourage me. Thanks,

Joseph

While you were sleeping, we were trying to have a sleepy time time, but kept rollin' and tumblin' instead of dreaming and realised we were going wrong. We went down to the crossroads, but were lost without a song in the deserted cities of the heart. We felt like outsiders waiting for the call. It was only a question of time - train time, as you said, in the white room with black curtains at the station, waiting for the last train to the stars. I felt like a little boy lost, when she asked, "Can you follow?" I said,"Whatever turns you on." Then the politician smiles and grins, "Gone too far?" "No", we said, "Just waiting on a word, but we're close enough for love." "Yeah, but can you afford the high cost of loving when you're on the wrong side of town?" he asked. "Hey we're laughing on music street and quite prepared to grease the wheels! Anyway, how's tricks?" "All quiet in Cuicoland."

Looking forward to seeing him "live" in Melbourne on 11 March - after all these years. (Hope the Stadium's ready in time!)

The "Continental" in Melbourne would be a great venue for Jack to do his own thing while in town.

Anyway, CAN'T WAIT!.

After discovering a love of bass through the amazing Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath fame, I came across an interview with Geezer where he spoke about the influence of Jack Bruce. Curious and wanting to hear more, I purchased "Disraeli Gears" and have now bassically (to use a pun) fallen in love with Cream and Jack's work. This page has served its humble purpose of detailing just a part of Jack's story. Thank you and keep rocking!

P.S: If there is a known Cream Tabs page, would anyone be so kind as to email it to me? :)

Dear Jack,

I was wondering whether you could tell me whether the performance from which the cd set Cities of the Heart was recorded is availlable on video anywhere. I would very much like to order it if possible. I also wish to say that it is quite a tease at the end of "Sunshine" when you say "You'ld like some more? We'll see what we can do." The sheet music for Will Power in the booklet makes me want to hear that live.

I acquired "Turn it Over" the other day. I like it very much. It is one of those recordings that cannot be pigeonholed. It stands by itsself. Very creative. Nice to hear you and McGlaughlin together. Did you ever happen to work with Sonny Sharrock?

Peace and love, Joseph

Great site! It's lovely to see Jack getting the recognition that he deserves. Are there any plans for any Live British dates soon?

COMMENTS

We watched a documentary on TV the other night of Steely Dan, about the making of their Aja album. It was a buzz seeing Walter Becker & Donald Fagen running through how they made the record. It would be brilliant to see a video released with some footage of Jack Bruce recording Quicoland, and then going through the tracks in the studio, explaining what was involved. Maybe it could also show Jack performing some of the tracks Live. M&L.

We don't blame Jack, because he will always be our Ultimate Rock Legend, WE LOVE YOU JACK BRUCE, and can't believe the lousy way he was billed for the show, but gee it's disappointing. Jack, if you read this, could you please give us as much notice as possible for the dates when you will be coming. You're still the greatest Jack. Sorry to hog the Guestbook - Marc.

I have just read Jack's message ergarding his pulling out of the Australian leg of the Ultimate Rock etc tour.

My first reaction is of course bitter disappointment. However, support for JAck's contention about problems with the promoter are confirmed by the way Jack's pull-out has been handled. In the last two days the ads have excluded Jack's name and added "an extra special guest" Australia's Jimmy Barnes. I was suspicious andlooked up your site to find my suspicions confirmed.

In a way I'm pleased Jack won't be part of this tour. I have the album (on which Jack doesn't appear) and am disappointed with the choice of some of the material (Give Peace a Chance for heavens sake) I've also seen a video of the show and whilst it will undoubtedly improve in a live context, the performance did not greatly excite. The stand out performer was Gary Brooker with Whiter Shade of Pale and Conquistador.

In summary therefore I am disappointed but not heartbroken - provided Jack keeps his promise to come with Ringo later this year.

When I heard last year that Jack was coming I took the liberty of approaching a Sydney venue "The Basement" in the hope that they could liaise with the promoter and Jack's management for Jack to do one or two shows of his own material. The Basement is basically a jazz venue but caters to an eclectic style of music. I gather from Chris Richards of the Basement that he was interested but got nowhere with the promoter.

Jack if you come with Ringo have a think about the proposal of a gig at the Basement. I''ve spoken to other JB fans who agree it would be a great venue. Talk to Billy Cobham - he's played there a number of times and is due back in March.

I have just learnt the news about Jack not coming to Australia. I have lost my enthusiasm see the Adelaide performance of the URS. It would have been the end of a thirty year wait to see Jack perform live. I can understand the reason for cancelling because Jacks ability would not have been adequately realised in such a concert. Please come to Adelaide if you can later in the year ( I will buy all the tickets myself if required ).

I will appreciate the fact that Jack nearly came to Australia for the contacts I have made with other fans, particularly Marc and Lorraine.

Goodbye for now Jack.

Sorry to hear that Jakc would not be here with British Rock, but happy to see that he will be here later with Ringo - and have more time to pass his magic onto us.

I have been following Jack since the late sixties with Cream. I suppose I was about 15 when I first heard Cream on the radio. This will be the first time I have had the opportunity to see him live and that is something I have been looking forward to for many years.

Dear Jack:

Saw you last year with Ringo in Berkeley and you were the highlight. Stole the show. Of course I love you bass playing buy, by the way, thought the way it was miked or something took something away from you. Honestly.

You can't electronizize drums unless you play a fucking drum machine. Ringo wouldn't do that, right? But the way they had your bass amped, well, it sounded like the equivalent of a drum machine. Maybe that's the way you wanted it. If so, than you sounded like your self. But...

Probably my damn ears playing tricks on me.

Anyway, love you man, you/re an inspiration to me and I play that lick of yours from "Badge" a lot.

Stay healthy, this world needs artists like you.

All the best,

Sincerely,

Mark Kurita

I just read in todays paper that Jack will be at the Westbury Music Fair with Ringo on May 16,17. Can anyone confirm that before I rush out to get tickets? He's to perform with Simon Kirke, Eric Carmen and Dave Edmunds.

COMMENTS

I have now had the chance to calm down from the news that Jack won't be coming to Australia with the Ult Rck Symph etc. I have been buoyed by the entries of other OZ JB fans.

Jack, you will see that you have a hard core of dedicated fans out here. We were prepared to pay large sums to see you, knowing that we were likely to only see you fleetingly and probably restricted to "Sunshine of Your Love" and "White Room" to appease the masses. Having seen the video of Ult Rck etc I admire the stance you have taken (indeed if there is any chance that Gary Brooker is not coming there will be at least two tickets for the gig going cheap) but still am shattered that the chance to see you after something like 32 years of wanting to has been at least deferred.

The All Stars will be better than Ult Rck etc but after the wait we've had we would dearly love to see you doing your solo stuff as well. I have no doubt appropriate venues would jump at the chance. Please consider.

Even if the Ringo thing doesn't materialise there are enough good venues (as opposed to arenas (should that be arenae)in the capital cities and larger regional areas to make a tour by yourself and your own band to make the tour worthwhile.

Looking forward to the new album - keep us posted Derek.

It would be really nice to hear other Jack Bruce fans tell of their experiences at JB concerts. We got a kick out of reading MAFZZ's entry on Gerard's Pages (Oct.29,1999) and Mike Murtagh's entry on this page (25 Jan. 2000). There was also one from a lady in Russia, that has since been wiped, but was very enjoyable to read. If anyone has a Jack story to tell on here, we're sure other fans would love to hear it. Thanks also to Melissa H. Regards - M&L.

If Jack played here 365 days, I'd probably see every show. Jack you're the greatest and WE all know it! Still haven't found the Ringo live 3 CD set. Can't wait for Jack's new release.

Holy Ships in the night,Baby! I have been searching for info on my greatest musical inspiration , and here it is!!!! Thank you so much ! I am positively delighted -Sometimes I feel alone in the world... I've loved Jack's music for many years,starting with Cream, and when I first heard his solo music -it was as if I'd died and gone to Heaven! I feel he is one of the biggest reasons I became a musician , especially a singer. To this day , if I really want to "work" my voice, I sing with Jack. I have been searching for a place to find a tour schedule... Thank you Jack for the precious gift of your music.

I am devastated.

There I was, counting the days until I saw Jack live.

Oh well, I've waited thirty years, I'll just have to be patient.

I will now spend the evening of 11 March listening to "Harmony Row", "Songs for a Tailor" and "Out of the Storm", whilst drowning my sorrows. Anyone want a $160 ticket to a Rock SymPHONY.

Fellow Aussie fans - I'm willing to travel to any state in Australia if Jack plays a solo gig.

Great to see JB is listed first on Ringo's site for members of the All Starr Band. He was listed last in the Ultimate/British etc. Good to see all the info about Jack on Ringo's site. Let's just hope it happens this year. M&L.

Have just stumbled across this site. At least I now know why Jack didn't make it to Aust'. He was the only reason I forked out my hard earned. Was very disappointed but, unfortunately, things like this happen. Maybe next time!!

Generally speaking, just THANKS for all. It's an admitedly drunken evening here in the Sierra foothills and eventually the evening burns down to one up manship of tunes to be played, and as has often happened before, I played Victoria Sage and no one knows what to play after that, of course eventually we get back to our drink, but there's always that pause that my buddys have come to call "That Jack Bruce thing" that eventually brings the house down, and tickles me so. So thanks Jack, for the music that endures and makes the day. Until Such Time. ms

As a fellow bass string-bender (don't listen to wet-boy skinny fingered guitarists, a little bit of practice and you can put this fine technique all over your bass playing) I would, Oscar style, like to take this opportunity to thank Jack for showing me just what you can begin to achieve on bass.

Years ago, we had the good fortune to see Willie Dixon Live in Sydney. It was a wonderful experience. It's very pleasing to read that Jack has included another WD composition on his All Quiet In Cuicoland CD. In the Sept/Oct 93 Bass Player, Jack said of Willie, "I loved him. He was the Einstein of the blues - marvelous!" Jack's treatment of Willie's "Blues You Can't Lose" on A Question Of Time is one of our favourite JB blues numbers. -M&L.

COMMENTS

Regarding an earlier comment by Kiwi, Chris Mansfield, Mitch Mitchell wrote in his book, The Hendrix Experience, that, "(Peter) Green in fact gave Hendrix a great run for his money and was one of the few guitarists who wasn't in awe of him, you know, he didn't say, 'Oh God, I've seen Hendrix, I'm gonna die!'" In the July 1985/Guitar Player, Jack Bruce said, "I played with Jimi Hendrix, and he had everything. He had this feeling of transcending everything, that he was coming from somewhere else." Personally, one combination we'd love to see JB get together with Ginger and Johnny Winter in Oz and NZ. - M&L.

Re; Melbourne (Oz) Saturday 11th March.

To Jack (...Derek, and Aussie fans.)

I wasn't aware you were not appearing in the U.R.S tour until THE night. In a way, maybe it was best that I didn't know before hand. It had been a real "buzz" for the 5 months looking forward to seeing you.

Jack, I appreciate you diary message.....and that I will have the pleasure seeing you later in the year.

(For side gigs; talk of The Basement in Sydney is great. There's also The Continental in Melbourne & The Healer in Brisbane. All top places.)

Cheers! Best wishes, Chris.

compared to eric and ginger, were you really that good? Do you think they would want you back for the Cream reunion? Just wondering, that's all. Wasn't it your hard drug consumption, along with ginger's that fucked the whole thing up? It ruined my life when you guys broke up. I liked you more than Hendrix. The raw jams of cream versus the wailing feedback of hendrix... who could ask for more??

Dear Jack,

You will be appreciated and respected for your music and personality when you tour with Ringo later in the year.Mark and Lorraine Wickert from Tweed Heads have it right when they suggest you tour with your own band. The venues are excellent and like Stevie -Ray-Vaughan, a good bluesman you would tear the place apart !!Your presence is needed to show us what excellent mucianship is really like..

I listened to the JB Internet Radio Show and really enjoyed it.

Being a lifetime Bruce fan, I was especially delighted to hear audio clips of the interview with Mr. Bruce. Jack really came across as a very charming, personable and likeable fellow with a good sense of humor.

In addition to being a Bruce fan, I also have a very large CD collection of other Artists and listen to the radio quite a bit ---- keeping current with the popular artists and songs of the day.

You know I am amazed at the “staying power” of Mr. Bruces’ Music.

Just the other day I went into 5 separate music stores in Boston to shop for CD’s and sure enough in every store there was a section for BRUCE, JACK. That is absolutely amazing when you think of all the popular bands which have come and gone over the past thirty years --- their stuff is hard to find in the stores.

It is a great tribute to the talent of Mr. Bruce and the importance of his lifes’ work, that he still commands a place in the very competitive retail shelf space in the record stores.

Keep it up !!!

We are definately buying the new CD !!

I've been around for 46 years so was at a very excitable age when Cream were doing their (scrapyard) thing. As a 'would be" bass guitarist Jack was the ultimate for me. Those thundering bass lines on the Gibson EB3 shook my stereo and deepened my appreciation for what is possible in music.

I followed Jack's solo career closely and awaited each new album with tremendous anticipation. I wasn't let down.

I'm very excited that Jack is finally able to make it 'down under' when he tours with Ringo Starr's band. Is it possible at this stage to indicate which month that might be?

Best regards, Steve Kernohan

Thanks for the lyrics. Solved a couple 20-yr old mysteries for me. When we were 17 in '80, rock'n'roll kinda flaked out.My droogies & i holed up in grandma's basement and learned the entire Cream catalogue.There were certain lyrics that we couldn't figure out because they were so abstract- just a word here & there.i've been playing bass for a living since '84. In that time i've only had ONE straight job.Thanks, Jack for setting me on the PATH. i nicked a lot of chops from you. God Bless.

Crossing the Bay Bridge to San Francisco I remember saying to the four others as they split some acid, I made the comment that I didn't care whether Jack played bass, piano, guitar, or just sang. I got some funny looks, but thats good. Ended up at some dive, saw Jack put Jaco to shame while singing his heart out. A Letter Of Thanks, Rope Ladder, most of How's Tricks, an ecstatic, passionate evening. Ranks up there with Gabor Szabo, the Dead, King Crimson recently at Seattle Paramount (lovingly remodeled recently), It's A Beautiful Day at the closing of Fillmore (I think). In the middle of one of the guitar players solo he broke one of the top strings. He didn't break stride or miss a note and finished his solo as if the string wasn't even broken. Yeah!!!

it all started when i was 15 in 1985, white room from wheels of fire caught my ear. i went on to puchasing other cream albums, but then realised that jack had his own catalogue of solo albums and began purchasing those. SONGS FOR A TAILOR, HARMONY ROW, OUT OF THE STORM, etc. i immediately fell in love with his voice, his bass playing, and his piano playing. I loved it right off the bat with CREAM, but even more so with his solo albums.

Great Website!! Jack Bruce was the first bass player I actually noticed because he was playing riffs instead of plodding along under the rest of the band. His interaction with Ginger Baker was inspirational probably only matched by John Paul Jones & John Bonham. I bought an EB3 after listening to Jack (& Jim Lea of Slade - another great bassist who plays riffs)

Recent or not music: all is great, great, great. I was dancing in the sheepfold on "Politician" very late with only, snow, bears, wind and summits all around. Great, great, great.

Hello Mr. Jack Bruce, I'm a big fan, but everyone says that. I am looking for "Live And Kickin'" but can not find a CD or cassette copy anywhere in San Francisco. So I was wondering if I could buy a copy from you. I would take a cass. copied from record or tape. Or if you could a CD copy new, used, or burned from another source. In any case I wold gladly pay up front for this. "Power House Sod" is how I really knew I wanted to be a bassist in stead of a 6-gun strummer. Thank you and please help, if you can. M.

Congrats on a great site. Disappointing that Jack Bruce couldn't get here for the Ultimate Rock Symphony, but probably for the best - the whole idea of that sounds terrible anyway. (It died in the arse by the way). Would have been good to see him doing his thing though. With Ringo is one thing, but why not a tour in its own right? Mr. Bruce is very respected down here and could play a low key intimate tour or a larger venue thing. Think about it Jack. We'll all be there!!

COMMENTS

It's not just that Jack Bruce is the world's greatest bass player, a brilliant all-round musician and a stunning vocalist - he was also the man who single-handedly liberated the bass guitar. Let's hope younger people and future generations get to realise the revolutionary effect he had on the way all music is now played, regardless of the band they're listening to. - M&L.

Super web site to say the least. Looking forward to the new Jack Bruce project. Does anyone know where a fan might find a cd copy of "Harmony Row" and/or "Automatic?" Saw CBS' "60 Minutes," interview with Clapton...Jeff Beck in Cream? Gave me a chuckle...Hoping that Jack can find time to tour solo...sorry Ringo!

Dear everybody! In case you know Jack Bruce say a huge hello to him from Russia. I've been to the Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band in Moscow - we had the biggest poster saying JACK YOU ARE THE CREAM OF THE BAND - but he never looked up!!!... Please tell him we LOVE him - in case he doesn't know.... And I'm afraid he doesn't.

Lots of love

OH YES !! We meet again. CAN'T WAIT !!!

Have a question ----

I've been looking at a portable minidisc system that I could record the show with. I also have a video cam.

Is it legal for me to record the show ?

I don't want to get into trouble.

This is all happpening next month.

COMMENTS

Looking so forward to seeing Jack at the Beacon Theatre next month. We just checked out the Ringo site again for info on Jack Bruce. The tour schedule goes up til July 1. What a thrill it will be when the tour dates finally include Oz. Judging by the response in JB's Guestbook, it certainly indicates that Jack has a ton of loyal fans in Oz who would love to see him do some solo performances as well. - M&L.

I have seen Jack in concert six times and was fortunate to meet him in 1989 in Philadelphia. It was an incredible experience to stand next to and chat with a musician whom I have considered to be a legend in his own time. At the time I had been following his career since 1967. I told him that his latest work 'A Question of Time' was incredible and his best work since 'Out of the Storm'. He was quite humble as he thanked me and was more than willing to sign an autograph "To Bob...Jack Bruce." I also had occasion to meet Janet Godfrey at one of Jack's 1977 Bottom Line shows, but that's another story. Anyway, does anyone know where one might find a copy of West, Bruce and Laing's "Live and Kickin' CD/cassette and their 'Whatever Turns You On' CD/cassette? Is there anyone else out there who feels that "Pollution Woman" and "Out Into the Fields" are incredibly beautiful pieces of music? I feel Jack's work with WB&L was incredible and I am amazed that these works are so difficult, if not impossible to find. Thanks Jack for ALL the great music through the years. You are #1!!! BC

Hello Ryan Meehan and Marc Wickert. The album referred to is, I think, 'Knights of the Blues Table'. Viceroy 54189-2. Distributed by WEA and Lightyear Entertainment. HIGHLY recommended not just for Jack Bruce but some great music. Listen to Miller Anderson's rendition of 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood' and the rest. Viceroy's e-mail is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and also This email address is being protected from spambots.

There is a part 2 apparently, but I haven't heard that yet nor do I know who is on it. Cheers.

COMMENTS

With the number of loyal fans Jack Bruce has in Oz, he's going to need to play at some big venues to cater for the crowds. In Sydney he could play out WEST at Homebush, in Canberra he could play at BRUCE Stadium and in Queensland he could play at LAING Park. West, Bruce and Laing, now that has a ring to it - M&L.

Great site. Longtime Jack Bruce fan. Somebody needs to do something about getting all of Jack's old solo stuff re-released. My apt was broken into a bit ago and all of my precious Jack Bruce discs were taken. Ugh... Have had absolutely no luck finding any of them other then "Songs For A Tailor". I had them all and am really pretty brken up about the loss. Lost a Japanese import of the old Atco "History of EC" which doesn't seem replaceable either. Glad to see that Jack will be touring with Ringo again. Saw him here in Mpls a couple of years ago and was thoroughly impressed with the show. Echoing the sentiments of a earlier respondent, how about a solo tour in this part of the country? Take care.

I went to the Ringo Tour site to see if I could order tickets for the final show of the US tour. Wisconson is close enough for me to drive to and it coincides with the beginning of my vacation. Even though I couldn't find out there how to order the tickets I was very pleased to discover a good bio of Jack. I didn't know that Jack and Tony Williams were close to forming a group with Jimi Hendrix. It makes me sick to think of the fine music that collaboration might have born. Jimi and Jack together is the stuff that dreams are made of. I used to think I would have liked to have heard Jimi and John Coltrane together. If anyone else finds that concept appealing I suggest you pick up a copy of Ask The Ages with Pharoah Sanders, Elvin Jones, Charnet Moffett, and Sonny Sharrock. Charnett Moffett is great on bass, Sonny is "out there" on guitar, Pharoah Sanders is powerful on Tenor and Elvin Jones is arguably the best jazz drummer of all time.

Peace and Love

Joseph

Happy Easter to Jack Bruce and all the JB fans we've met on this site. It's Easter Monday here, but it should be Easter Sunday everywhere else. We've been listening to A Question Of Time a lot lately. No track seems to reveal the rich, dark timber of Jack's soul more than his vocals on Only Playing Games. What a gem that song is! And there's no other person on the planet who could have done that track. Best wishes - M&L.

Jack has always been my favorite bassist bar none. When I was a wee lad I would buy his solo albums when all my friends only wanted to listen to the Cream records. His collaborations with Pete Brown are of course my favorites. I was fortunate to be able to work with Jack on the "Jack Bruce and Friends" tour in support of the "I've always wanted to do this" album. I was Jack and Clem's roadie in the fall/winter of 1980. Presently I'm a professional piano technician on the road w/ Ryuichi Sakamoto. I love Jack's playing on "MonkJack" and would love another opportunity to work with Jack as a pianist. Jack, if you're reading this, please contact me sometime. I can't wait to hear the new material

Jack - since Fresh Cream and the stuff before, you turned me onto BASS. Born in 1952 and going pro in '68 and still going stong - you are the mentor to all serious bass players. I now play a 7-string Conklin, which is totally awsome. But I still play it with the roots of the old EB-0 I started with (I couldn't afford an EB-3) Where can I get you Video with the 2 Gary's from??

Keep it up - never give up. I need to see you play again. let me know where & when.

Thanks for this site

I just stumbled across your site Jack, and I like what I've seen so far! You are one of my favorite bass players, and being a drummer myself, I can always sympathize with a comrade in rhythm!! A quick question: When you played St. Louis on 21/11/88 did you by chance go clubbing and catch a group by the name of Cross Town Traffic? I was drummer in the group, and somebody said you came in during our set, and actually LIKED our version of Sunshine of Your Love! Can you shed some light on this? I know 12 years is a long time memory- wise, but I'd like to know if I played before one of the greats, and didn't know it!!!! Thanks, and keep up the excellent work!

i have seen and listened to JB's live concerts three times.the last one he played the "bis" at Pistoia blues festival with Jeff Healey band:he went out on stage dressing only underwear while someone gave to Jeff's bassist a jumbo acoustic guitar making him sitting on the very bottom of the stage alone.I miss JB concerts! Please Jack play in Europe! I wait for a tour list!!!!

I got to see my idol, Jack, last night at Westbury. Always enjoy Sunshine, White Room, and I Feel Free even after hearing it 100,000 times. Especially love hearing Jack doing songs from Eric Carmen and Dave Edmonds. A fantastic bass and an incredible voice from a great man:Jack Bruce. I'm still anticipating seeing Jack with his own band again. It's been a while!

It was nice to see Jack on Lettermen tonight with Ringo. The tribute from the house band at the break was the best part. Big, noisy White Room. Oh, well, we all know there is no justice. Thanks for what we get. Best wishes to all.

I had this record that I brought very soon after release and then there was an amazing documentry on BBC television featuring the songs from this great album SONGS FOR A TAILOR, Every body I played it to also loved it, so much that somebody stole it, can I buy it on CD. Great site and thanks for all the work you put in, without this kind of work we would be a lot more ignorant.

Belated Happy Birthday, Jack. Same day as my son Eric. Saw the All-Starr's a couple of nights ago in Salem. Excellent show, but have to say that nobody on stage looked particularly up. Perhaps due to the piss-poor turnout. I was shocked to see so many empty seats. It was only when you broke into Sunshine of Your Love that the place and the band seemed to come alive. You are definitely the Starr of the band...sorry Ringo. I've had the pleasure of seeing you twice before, once on long Island (My Father's Place) and once in Orlando (with Ginger). Both shows were phenomenal. We must get you back out touring with your own band soon. Peace and good health to you.

Iwas at Sunday's show in New Hampshire. Mr Bruce was great. I've seen him twice before: Boston during Cream's 1st US tour (Psychedelic Supermarket) and the old Back Bay Theatre on the night Martin Luther King was shot. Mr Bruce continues to be the best, most professional and imaginative bass player I have ever seen or expect to see. Please come around more often.

The two prior posts were excellent and very thought provoking.

When you think about who these guys are, Ringo,Jack Bruce and Company -- they have had such a tremendous influence on our lives. I was just a kid when I first started listening to the Beatles and it was such an exciting and magical experience in my life and the lives of all my fiends. What a time in ones life --- my first girlfriend, high school graduation, starting out on your own away from Mom and Dad for the first time...

You don't forget these things and the Beatles and Cream were all a part of it..

I've been priviledged to see Mr. Bruce with West Bruce and Laing at the Orpheum theatre in Boston. I also saw him with Billy Cobham up at a club in Lynn. Mass. Both shows were really great...better than great.... and brother, there is only one Jack Bruce in this world.

I'm really grateful for their hard work and dedication in bringing these wonderful musical experiences into our lives.

God Bless.

PS.. Billy Cobham did a drum clinic not to long ago at the Guitar Center in Boston. Great drummer.

Take Care.

Recently saw Jack in Atlantic City N.J. on opening night with the All Stars Band on May 12,2000. Jack was phenomenal,(as always),and a good time was had by all. There were some shouting requests from the back (White Room),in which Jack so happily delivered. Also was heard: "Jack, you know we love you!" He sang and played his heart out for us!

I just had the pleasure of seeing Ringo and the All Star Band here in Norfolk, VA on 5/26/00. Although Ringo was great, Jack Bruce stole the show with his renditions of Sunshine of your Love, I Feel Free and White Room. He literally brought the house down! I would look forward to seeing Jack Bruce on tour with his own band.

Jack Bruce is great. He really has a unique voice. For one thing, when you listen to him you hear a genius bassist, but what is very strange is that at the same time you hear an extremely confident singer...More comments after I get more beer...

I got more beer. Jack is what I would classify as an inspired musician. Now, this terminology I can't apply to everybody. Very few people in music have ever been truly inspired. Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, that's some inspired people. That is Bruce.

IT WAS LIKE BEING IN THE STUDIO AND I WAS LITERALLY ONLY A FEW FEET FROM YOU ON STAGE. IT WAS JUST INCREDIBLE. MISSED TICKETS FOR YOUR RINGO GIG, BUT I'LL KEEP TRYING FOR NEXT TIME.

Since Jack is probably busy getting ready to tour if it hasn't already begun, I will probably wait a while for an answer to this question but I am compelled to ask nevertheless. I raised the concept of a possible collaborator with Jack in The Joni Mitchell Fan Club on Yahoo. I am a co-founder of that club. No one else seems to see the rich musical possibilities of a collaboration between Jack and Joni. I think it would be wonderful since each have such a broad range of musical perspective from which to draw and each is fearless in their persuit of musical fruition.

Jack, if you read this, what do you think?

Other readers of this post, what do you think as well?

Dear Jack,

I wished you happy bday on the correct date but somehow these things get lost thru hypersapce.So Happy Birthday belated, may you be young at heart yet enjoy the wisdom of long life. I am always amazed at how ahead of the pack your special music has been.Recently I have been listening to Lifetime once more.Amazing playing. Looking forward to Ringo in Denver, mostly for you, but Dave Edmonds will be great too...(in my wild youth I once drove 80 miles one way in a blizzard to see Rockpile) Love , Gail PS, anyon who was lucky enough to see any of the Freinds shows w/ Billy Cobham was very lucky..those shows were phenominal. And the Golden Paliminos in Chicago, wasn't that a blast?

Love your web page Derek and am a frequent visitor. I've been a huge Jack fan since 1967 and follow his career faithfully. I recently saw him a few days ago in Cleveland on the Ringo your. What can I say? He stole the show. I also saw him a year ago February with Ringo on the 10th All-Starr tour in Merrillville, IN. At this gig I was fortunate to be able to meet him after the show and he graciously autographed my copy of the photo booklet from "Cities of the Heart". What a thrill!!!

Hello Jack! Let me just say that you are the man! I've followed your career for about 15 years now and had the great fortune to be able to see you play live at the Bayou in D.C. with Ginger Baker and Blues Saraceno. You all rocked the house down. I was in the front row with my friend cheering as loud as I could. I just saw you play in Ringo's All Starr Band at Wolf Trap on May 30, 2000 and your renditions of Theme For An Imaginary Western, Sunshine of Your Love, and White Room were just fabulous! You really went out on a limb with your bass improv and I really enjoyed that. The last album I bought of yours was Something Els, so I need to catch up. Anyway, I am a bass player, too, and I hope you don't get offended when I say that i sometimes cop your licks, but hey, that's why we musicians exist, right? To learn from each other and grow? Well, I look forward to your next solo effort. All the best to you Jack!

Hello!

Just saw Jack in Ringo's band in Nashville. Jack was super (as always) and he really got the crowd going. I'd like to thank Jack for his fine writing, playing and singing over the years (and for inspiring a young bass player in New York City). Keep up the great work. Perhaps one of these days I'll be lucky enough to meet you.

Hi Jack! I just wanted to tell you that you all did a fine job at the concert in Norfolk ( at that puny NorVa theatre) on May 26. It was my first concert and I ended up standing right in front of where you were -- it was awesome!! I am 16 years old and a huge classic rock fan and I was more than pleased with the rock and roll you guys generated -- especially that bass player!!! You have a true gift and I was glad to be the girl that received a wink from such a legendary rocker as yourself. ( You MAY remember me -- I was the only one there with a poster) None the less, I am definitely going to be listening to a lot more Cream music from now on... Thanks for all the inspiration. Write back if you have the time (which I'm sure you don't) and stay out of trouble :o) Yours, Katie

Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker please! Eric Clapton please! Thank you all for giving us your all in Cream. I've read various reports of you and Ginger resenting the fact that people thought of Cream as Eric and his 2 sidemen, well I just wanted to let you know that no Cream fans ever thought of the band in that light. To us Cream was and always will be Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton! If you're ever in Hong Kong I'd love to jam with you!

I just saw Jack in Nashville along with Ringo and the All Starr Band, and for my money the show should've been billed differently. Jack stole the show! After experiencing his performance of several Cream hits, I was moved to shout, "You've STILL got it, Jack!" which he acknowledged with a wave. If you ever have a chance, you MUST go see Jack Bruce in concert. I hope I have another chance. Thank you, Jack Bruce. You've still got it!

i can't belive this website. it's everything a jack bruce fan needs. saw him on both nights when he played with moore and husband at the cellar club (sadly now closed down) in south shields, absolutely blinding. wish i had been able to congratulate him personally, but hey, you can't win any of them... play bass in a band myself, jack should look out for HOOKAH if he's ever passing the town. cheers mate.

Yes there is a God! I recently found my original vinyl recordings of 'Harmony Row', 'Songs For A Tailor', 'Things We Like' (yes, I said Things We Like), and West, Bruce, and Laing's 'Whatever Turns You On' which I thought were trampled and burned by my "ex". I now have to go out and purchase a turntable. (Do they still make them?). Can anyone sell a copy of WB&L's 'Live 'n Kickin'? Peace and Love to you all. Jack, thanks for your latest entry in the diary; it's kind of you to take the time to acknowledge your incredibly loyal fans. I agree with the notion that you were largely responsible for the incredible music that Cream produced, you wrote two-thirds of the material (at least) and Eric Clapton himself acknowledged in a Rolling Stone interview about 10 years ago that you were 'The Man'-"a musician's musician" I believe was the way he described you (which was a very classy thing to do on his part). Please get that new disc out and please find a way to get your earlier solo works re-released on CD -we will buy them! God Bless, Bob C. (It's Jack's world and we all just hang out in it) Thanks to Derek for a fabulous site!

It was , again, quite amazing to see Mr. Bruce set the place ABLAZE on May 15 at Poughkeepsie, NY's Civic Center As a "Hard Core" fan I bow in honor to the Great one... no Eric, Bruce is God! This was the 4th time I have had the pleasure of seeing Jack perform. In 1987 I had the good fortune of seeing Jack, Leslie West and Joe Franco in Poughkeepsie, the performance of "Spoonful" was recorded live that night (Dec 19) at "The Chance" in Poughkeepsie..Its's on Leslies "Theme" CD, Also a great version of "Theme for an Imaginary Western" Great stuff..Looking forward to the new CD!

Just saw the GREAT Jack Bruce Saturday, June 3rd at the Sunrise Music hall in Ft. Lauderdale with the Rigo Starr All Star Band...killed me again! I saw Jack there with Ringo about a year ago as well and to see the guy twice now is a thrill I'll never forget. As I am a gutarist for 35 years now (make that 36) the best thing that could happen to me would to get to play professionally with him. (I'm at 321.952.9462 or 305.751.9305, Jack!!!!) God bless ya for writing White Room and thanks for waving to me when I yelled to you Saturday night as you got into the courtesy van Keep coming back with Ringo! See ya soon, I hope! Pauly

To Penney Leeper, and anyone else interested in obtaining tablature of Cream's songs. I have in my possession a copy of "Eric, Jack & Ginger: The Cream Complete" which contains tablature and chord diagrams for twenty of Cream's best works. In the interest of keeping these classics alive and turning on the next generation to what REAL rock music was (is), contact me and I will try to make available whatever copies I can. Let me know specific songs. (I don't know if this violates any publishing laws and if this would meet with Jack's approval- so if anyone has any info regarding these matters please let me know). I believe there is some time limit on music publishing rights anyway.) To Jack: You remain my favorite musician; your music continues to inspire; and now my son is discovering your music which brings me great joy! You have been the most under-rated musician of our time (not by your fans of course- this site is testament to that!) Your music touches the Soul and that quality is so rare today. Thank you for taking the time to chat with me in 1990 after the gig in Philadelphia (and for the autograph, I wouldn't trade it for Chopin's! Best wishes for continued success in all your work.

Dear Jack,

I performed with you in 'The Tooth of Crime'in London in 1987 at the Bridge Lane Theatre Club - your first acting experience and my first singing experience. Thanks for your encouragement. You were such a trooper hanging in there with the conditions. I am married to a bass player who has an album with Jim Morrison's son Cliff Morrison: the cd is called 'Know Peaking' and availble through BMG-Europe. Would like to see your House of Blues LA performance with Ringo, alas, we just opened a new office and funds are tight. Email if you can. Ta, Leslie.

Hello!

I'm huge fan of Jack Bruce although I'm a gutarist. His style is amazing and an insperation for guitarists. I have followed the music by Jack from the time before Cream to this day. I play in a band where the basist is a even bigger fan (!) of Jack. For his last birthday I bought the instruction-video for him. Whar I would love to give him this time is a realsized print of Jacks hand with an autograph on it or by it. Is this possible to get/buy? It would mean so very very much to him. His name is also Fredrik.

Many thanks Best regards

Hi Jack! I'm a lifelong fan of your work. I was a young teenager during the Cream period, but I was so struck by your songs and your singing that I followed your career for years! I thought "Songs for a Tailor" was a great record, right up there with Cream's best work, as well as "Harmony Row" (a fabulous colection of songs and music which is unfortunatly not currently available on Cd-I have a good vinyl copy, though!) I remember seeing your name in an early post-Cream "Hit Parader" article on "The Tony Williams Lifetime"...I knew nothing about jazz drumming, or Tony, or John McLaughlin with the wacked out short haircut. But I remembered both of their names and later became huge fans of both of their work! (For this "broadening" I owe you thanks!) I enjoyed you and John on "Escalator Over The Hill"; I enjoyed you and Billy Cobham on "I've Always Wanted...", and of course, I keep an eye open for your name on various projects. I remember going to a used record store, buying an old Larry Coryell album, and there was an instrumental version of your Harmony Row song "Can you Follow"...Great! I just want to communicate to you what a fine musician you are, and how satisfying your work has been to me for roughly 34 years now! You are an inspiration, and I listen to you when I want quality music...your "rock" material is absolutly on par with the best Lennon/McCartney stuff, and Jack, that ain't shabby! I would love to meet you face to face sometime and talk about music theory, life, etc.; just stuff. I feel like I know you through your work! Regards, Estel.

Dear Mr. Bruce, Hello! I simply want to express my appreciation for the beautiful music you have given us over the years. I am especially a fan of your former band, Cream. My heart melted when I first heard the song "Sunshine of Your Love". The way you blended romanticism with brilliant musicianship is incomparable. I admit, I have not followed your solo career as closely, but you have always been my favorite. I so look forward to seeing you in concert someday. Thank you for your wonderful website and for the rare privilege of being able to send this message to you so easily. Love & Blessings to You and Yours! Your greatest fan, Elisia

Hello Jack and fellow Jack fans!

I have a little news that may be of interest to you. I have updated the Jack Bruce page on my music web site adding more links and album covers. I also created what I was surprised to discover is the only Jack Bruce club on Yahoo. The link to my page is as follows http://www.geocities.com/joseph_1949/Home3.html From there you can click on the link to the Yahoo Club Jack Bruce Cities of the Heart

Jack would you consider authorizing this club to be an official Jack Bruce fan club? I would be honored if you would agree. Thanks for your great music throughout the years. I am hoping to be able to see the July 1st show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Peace and love,

Joe

We left Oz five weeks ago for New York City to see the world's greatest bass player - Mr. Jack Bruce, play live for the first time. Like a lot of other people we'd been fans since the mid sixties. At the Beacon Theatre Dave Edmunds, Eric Carmen, Simon Kirke and Mark Rivera all displayed superb musicianship & Dave Edmunds was more than capable on lead guitar - even doing accoustic solo renditions of Mason & William's Classical Gas and Lady Madonna. After waiting about thirty five years to finally see your hero Live, your eyes just fill with tears when the guy who's brought so much happiness into your life, for so much of your life, finally appears on stage in front of you. It was a thrill to witness Jack perform Sunshine Of Your Love and I Feel Free, but when Jack sat at the keyboard and was joined by special guest, Andy Summers, to deliver Theme From An Imaginery Western, this was truly a magical moment. Let's hope we get to see Jack and Andy do more work together. Later in the show, Jack whipped out an incredible version of White Room with a bass solo that only the world's greatest bass player could do. We were stunned! It was like a dream come true for us to meet Jack Bruce after the concert - he is such a warm and witty guy, but the real thrill was to see him look so healthy and happy. Thanks for everything, Jack - Marc & Lorraine.

Whilst having seen Cream 3 times in their brief existence and appreciating the brilliant contribution of our hero, please you fans don't forget all Jack's wonderful solo albums. The guestbook tends to hark back often to the days of Cream but remember Jack is still pushing music to the frontiers NOW. He deserves more encouragement for the more recent albums and certainly promoters should get the lad booked for more tours which represent his solo work. The piano/organ gig at the Queen Elizabeth was really epic!! Keep on keeping on Jack!! Happy Birthday - here's to the next 50 odd!

As Leslie West once said before "Powerhouse/S.O.D.", "on bass, the greatest in the world, JACK BRUCE!"

Jack, thank you for your talent: You've been an inspiration to me with my own bass playing and both your music and style have reignited my interest in playing bass--at a critical time when I was growing weary of playing bass.

Keep that Warwick busy and I hope to actually get to one day see you perform live!

I am a guitar player but Jack Bruce has been my favorite bass player since the 60's. It's not only his amazing bass playing but his voice, his songs, his musicial ability as a pianist, cellist, and his all arount talent, spirit, and attitude. He is an inspiration. I saw him with Ringo twice last year and am off to see him tomorrow night 6/16 and Friday in Tahoe. I heard he is planning a new band and can't wait to hear it. I hope he keeps playing for a long, long time. Hats off to you, Jack!!!!

I'm very glad to have found this site. I am a great Jack Bruce fan and have been since I danced live to Cream at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, Michigan in 1966-67. "Songs For A Tailor" is still one of the best albums ever and I often put it on at night to listen to as I fall asleep. It was astonishing when it first came out and has not dimmed one bit. I always thought Jack was the BEST bassist - period.

Lets all appreciate the awesome presence and musical virtuosity that has enabled the man to slot chameleon-like into any band with seamless dexterity. Its time,long overdue for the young musicians of today who wander aimlessly into styles forced upon them by the commercially driven market place to revisit the musical legacy left behind in the wake of such greats as Jack Bruce. I will never tire of listening. Mick...

I'm delighted that so many people are enjoying the current All Star tour. What a great way to start the year 2000.

Say if you want to have some fun, listen to two tracks Jack did with Leslie West :

1. The Rock 'n' Roll Machine 2. Token

These songs are from the second album of West Bruce and Laing called Whatever Turns You On.

What a gas !!!! Its Outrageous !!!!

There was no band in the world like West,Bruce and Laing. It reamins my favorite.

These songs really convey a sense of the spirit of 1973. (which seems just like yesterday)

Jack, I've seen you with Ringo's All-Starr Band four times now. You're an unbelievable showman. You guys rock, and we younger fans are thrilled to get the chance to see some of the greatest and most important musicians in the history of rock up close and personal. "White Room," among others, is out of this world! Rock on!

Saw Ringo's All-Star Band 6/8 in Chicago. It was a most excellent show, Ringo was a major cut-up, Dave Edmunds is cool and the Free and Bad Company songs presented by Simon Kirke were wonderful. Best of all was Jack Bruce. It appeared that he acted as Muscical Director for the entire event and truely enjoyed the proceedings.

I actually took my son to the concert as part of his birthday present, he's 14 and a huge Beatles Fan. He enjoyed, plus got a pretty good eyeful from some female fan activities in the audience.

But I digress, I probably wouldn't have been as willing to go to this show if Jack hadn't been in the band. House of Blues is a small venue, so we were very close. It was great and Jack didn't disappoint. The supporting cast was somewhat bizzare, but they sounded good. Jack approached his segments with enthusiasm. The versions of "I Feel Free", "Sunshine of Your Love" and "White Room" were anything but throw-aways. The solo version of "Theme From an Imaginary Western" was absolutely awesome. My son said, "Wow, Dad, that's a cool song!". The other folks around us kept asking "What's that Song?".

Another very cool thing was Jack's support of the other artists. Singing harmony/lead on Beatles songs, playing most excellent boogies piano on Dave Edmunds song and doing a way better than credible job of performing the Andy Fraser parts of Free's "Alright Now".

All in all, I enjoyed the show much more than I would have guessed. My only questions is why was Eric Carmen there?

Happy summer to all.

In 1980 I taped an interview with you and Clem when you were touring with the first Friends group (Cobham & Sanscious). At the time I was working for WRIF (radio), Detroit, as a talkshow host. I later was the co-publisher and co-editor of my own magazine which dealt with all facets and genres of the Detroit music scene. I utilized our interview as the feature story of one issue which I have always wanted to send you. You have been a major source of inspiration and I would like to think an influence on my own career as a drummer, vocalist, keyboard player and songwriter. How may I send this article to you?

We're still on cloud 9 after seeing Jack play Live for the first time. We could have saved plane tickets and just floated home. Jack, we hope you'll be heading to Oz soon.

Thank goodness for Jack Bruce! I can remember as a young child, the playing, singing and writing that came out of my first stereo speakers grabbed me forever and to this day still touches & influences me. Seeing Jack with Ringo last week was amazing-unlike some of his "peers", Jack still has it, still rocks, and doesn't deny where he came from. Even though I'm a guitarist, I still gravitate to playing many of Jack's lines; they are mesmorizing. And I can only hope to sing like him!!!! Abby Jaye www.abbyjayeband.com

The world desperately needs a Jack Bruce box set. Not just to chronicle the classic stuff (personally, I would have to include _Harmony Row_, one of the ten greatest LPs to come out of rock music, in its entirety), but the huge volume of scattered Jack performances. What a career! Jack is quoted in the Cream box set as saying he "envisoned being some kind of Mozart" growing up. I think he succeeded. Playing, singing, writing -- Jack and Brian Wilson stand head and shoulders above their peers as the greatest talents to have come out of rock music.

It's also time, I think, for another Jack Bruce Band tour. The shows with Blues Saraceno on guitar were great -- especially when Jack got to play piano on "Can You Follow" and "Imaginary Western." Nothing beats seeing Jack in a small club, playing a set that gives equal weight to old and new, to blues / rock and art / rock. Hearing Jack play "Morning Story" with Kip Hanrahan remains one of the happiest moments of my life.

Dear Jack

This is just to say how I was wandering round Edinburgh today and for some reason "theme from an imaginary western" popped into my head, I then went on to day dream about way SFAT and Harmony Row caught my imagination. The lyrics were "weird" (what do you expect from Pete Brown, poet and visonary !!) but it was the chords that struck me and the way the music had tension and release.

It was thanks to that introduction that Imanaged to negotiate the path from Heavy Rock/Blues to Jazz. Although it was some time before "Things we like" registered (if it ever did).

I could go on about the fantastic "Timepiece".

But - what happened to Mick Taylor (he was no John McLaughlin but did have a sense of melody if not harmony).

Also - why was "Without a Word" (one of the greatest "love" songs ever written) not included on the OGWT CD - I know you did it beacuse I still have the reel to reel tape made by taping the mike to my parents TV speaker - happy days indeed.

Finally - I was very sorry to hear of your son's death from asthma. I am a fellow sufferer and dedicated 12 years of my life to research better ways of treatment/prevention. Clearly we have a lot of work to do.

jack - your creativity and passion have had a huge influence on my musical development and you play a major role in my, fondly recalled, teenage years.

Keep up the good work

Bye for now

Ken Scott

I've been a fan for 32 since I bought my first album: Disraeli Gears. Loved Jack's early solo work and once had a copy of 'In From the Storm' which I played a lot. Hadn't kept up till I saw Jack on the Cream reunion/Hall of Fame program. This great site has enabled me to catch up on the intervening years of this wonderfully creative artist. Highlight for me was hearing 'HKKKH Blues'(sp?) off the Things We Like set again after 25 years- had forgotten how much I liked that piece- still sounds so fresh. Brought tears to my eyes, truly! Thanks.

Couldn't agree with Eric M. Van that a Jack Bruce box set is long overdue! I also agree that 'Harmony Row' is one of the greatest works by any musician in any genre. I am also happily suprised to see that there are so many fans of Jack's work with West, Bruce, and Laing. I was fortunate to catch their December 1972 show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. I was 15 years old and Jack was already my favorite musician. That show in Phillie remains among my favorite memories of my lost youth. 'Out of the Storm', 'Pollution Woman', 'Victoria Sage', 'To Isengard', 'Like a Plate', 'November Song', and the rest of Jack's incredible volume of work deserves to be heard (again!). Can we all start some kind of lobby or something to get some record company to get all these works re-released? It seems quite ludicrous that one can find 'The Monkees' CDs but not Jack Bruce's work. Something is seriously amiss. Jack Bruce is simply the single most under-rated musician of our time. Period. (But WE know that).

Just thought I'd add this little side note to my entry of 6-18. To jog your memory, I interviewed you in your hotel room after the show. Clem was present. One thing that sets me apart and makes me easy to remember is that I am a wheelchair user. I previously had played drums and backing vocals with Bob Seger, '73-77 and had performed on 4 albums. My becoming disabled in a car accident was the reason for leaving that situation. Hope to hear from you!

Dear jack, To say that Marc and Lorraine Wickert are fans of yours is truly an understatement. I think by virtue of the fact that they saved up and flew over to see you in the US from Australia speaks volumes and re-inforces the view that you have one large supporter base here in OZ. I have been in contact with Marc and he has kindly agreed to send a photo of your meeting at the Beacon Theatre. With fans like them in this world it must give you a very warm feeling to know that your music is so well appreciated all over. I hope you are still comming over to OZ later this year, if not with Ringo then with your own band. All the best, Phil.

this one for dennis: JB IS NOT on that cd!!! And this for JB: reading the mail everyday i have noticed that the large part of it comes from USA and Australia: this is very good!! but do you remember you still have a GREAT audience in EUROPE too, especially here in ITALY? What I'm trying to say is that WE ALL are waiting for your live shows wherever in the OLD continent during this summer...

1. the discography lists an album called "Lifetime" (1975). I can't find this listed in any reference. I can find "Turn It Over" and "Ego", however. Info please. 2. What's the story about Jack not being credited in any of the notes on "Ego"?

This is a hard work to me. To write in english... I am a great fan of "Cream", specially of Jack Bruce. I am the lead vocal and the bass player of a "trio", and I have learned so much of the Cream's music and the way that Jack plays the bass guitar. I would like to make a contact (someday...) with J.B., but I don't know who is reading my message now, and who is going to answer me. This page is OK, but I am afraid that nobody wants to write me back.

Please sorry for my english, I do my best.

Thank you.

P.S.: I am 27 years old. My music is on Cd and mp3...

Hi Joe Barbarotta, We picked up a copy of The Tony Williams Lifetime CD "Ego" and the cover only lists Jack Bruce as having contributed vocals on track 5 (Two Worlds). We also checked out Jack's NEWS on Rope Ladder and didn't see any mention of Jack's tour of Oz or his new CD. Hope it just means Derek is dozing in Cuicoland and forgot to add them to the site. -M&L.

Dear Mr Bruce,

I am looking forward to seeing and hearing you tomorrow night with Ringo's mob. It's been a long time since I've seen you in person - 1972? with West, Bruce and Lang in Ft Lauderdale, FL. I saw you before that with Cream in Miami at the baseball stadium and it was perhaps the most exciting concert nights of my life. As a bassplayer (retired), you were a hugh influence on me.

Much time has passed since then. A lot of water under the bridge. Now I have a 13 year old son, who took up the bass a couple of years ago, and I now have the priviledge of taking him to see you at just about exactly the same age I was when I first saw you in 1968. Such a nice piece of symetry, don't ya think? He's really quite talented, and has been studying URB with Richard Davis. I've tried to make sure he doesn't make that he listens to many, many types of music but when he started showing interest in playing bass, as far as I was concerned, there was only place to start. You.

Thanks for all the wonderful music and memories throughout the years. I don't you'll read this at all or if you'll see it before tomorrow night, but if you do, look for us - we'll be the old man and kid rocking out right in front of you at Milwaukee's Summerfest.

Derek, A really great site, I enjoyed going through it. I was surprised to see no mention of the 89-90 tour where Jack reunited with Ginger, partially because I was Jack's Road Manager on that tour and It brings back a lot of memories for me. If Jack keeps in touch and is interested in the feedback and the guestbook, please give hime my warmest regards... I was proud to work for such a great player and was also proud to call him Friend.

Jack,

Your music was so important to me as a young man in college then in the Army and Viet Nam. I remember when I was in basic training, the Army post I was on had a recreation center, guitars were available to the men. Every guy that picked up a guitar, white guys, black, country or city cats, they all knew Sunshine of Your Love.

It's hard to beieve how the time has passed, I'm still rocking.

Thanks for a wonderful web site...now does anyone anywhere know how I can get a C.D. of Harmony Row, or better yet, a copy of the box set "Jack Bruce"?

COMMENTS

We just went into the 60 Minutes Official Site and asked for a feature on Jack Bruce. There are a lot of loyal fans visiting Rope Ladder. It would be nice if they could all visit the 60 Minutes Official Site and request a segment on Jack. Once you go into the 60 Minutes site you go into Feedback, hit Request, type in your request and hit Send. You also need to select the 60 Minutes category from the Pulldown. If enough of us bombard the show that thought Jeff Beck was Jack Bruce, the more chance we all have of seeing the world's greatest get some of the recognition he deserves. Thanks - M&L.

Jack, fantastic to see and hear you in the usual superb and eclectic condition! I took my family to see Ringo's All Starr Band last night in St.Paul, and despite the rather gruesome conditions, with the loathsome, noisy, talentless ravers down the lane stepping all over Eric Carmen's "Rachmaninoff Rock" the band sounded fabulous. In particular, the Indian "raga-like" extended solo on White Room grabbed me by the throat and heart at the same time. A virtuosic display of polyrhythmic and polytonal permutation of a song that I never heard better live (of course I should revise to state, with more than a three piece). The performance compelled me to dig out Songs for a Tailor, Harmony Row, Out of the Storm, etc. to listen and remember my inspiration on bass guitar. It was obvious that the band rose to a different level of musicianship when you were leading. Keep playing and influencing. Yours with much humility, Darrel

COMMENTS

Dear Jack,

Best wishes again.

Marc and Lorraine Wickert have spoken to me about your NEW YORK concert and meeting you,your good family and musician friends etc..

You are a top man and I look forward to seeing you and hopefully Dave Edmunds in Australia this year.

Look after that AKUBRA HAT, it will last for ever.

Dear Mr. Bruce, The last time we saw you was in a small club in Detroit (your LAST tour with Ginger around 1989). We sat at the very front table and have not yet gotten over the magnitude of your talent. (Did you get the shortbread or did the crew eat it...from a great Scottish bakery). We would travel anywhere to see you perform again...will it happen soon? One question...while traveling with the Allstars band how did you decide who was going to sing...you or Gary Brooker? - The best to you! - D&D Meconi

Hello Aussie Jack Bruce fans, we're in the process of forming Friends Of Jack Bruce (Australia). The idea of our group is to get Oz fans together on the net to share info on Jack Bruce and to let each other know of shops carrying JB recordings, and magazines etc. being released in Oz containing interviews with JB. With regular JB Guestbook visitors, such as Dennis Lawrenson and Ron Wilson, we also intend requesting Jack Bruce tracks to be played on national radio stations (eg.Triple J). If you're interested, please contact M&L or Dennis Lawrenson (e-Mail addresses listed in Guestbook).

Jack/Derek, Your extended family is "Waiting On A Word " on news of the release of the new album ...We're all hungry for new masterpieces ! Hope to hear some good news soon given that it's been in the can for 6 months. Jack,just listened to a song I hadn't heard before of you and Nick Kershaw that you did in 1988.I think it was titled "All Alone",it was great music and had a good commercial feel about it ,but so typically (as we're used to)was overlooked by the music industry moovers and shakers.I just wanted to mention that I thought it was a great collaborative effort.You never cease to amaze me with your musical diversity ! Kind regards, Dennis

About a week ago, with the help of Dennis Lawrenson, we started up Friends Of Jack Bruce (Australia) for people in Oz to get together on the net and discuss such things as where Jack Bruce CDs can be purchased in Oz. We're also going to use "strength in numbers" to encourage radio stations to play some of Jack's music. Obviously a similar organisation could be started up in other parts of the world. Anyway, if you're in Australia and would like to join our free group, please contact us on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

HEY JACK

I HAVE BLOWN THREE OPPERTUNITIES TO SEE YOU LIVE AND HAVE BEEN KICKING MYSELF EVER SINCE. FIRST WAS WITH CREAM IN 1967 IN SEATTLE. THEN LATER ON WITH WEST AND LAING IN SEATTLE AND LAST WITH THE RINGO TOUR IN ABOUT 93 OR SO AGAIN IN SEATTLE. MY BEST FRIEND OF 30 YEARS, DAVE, SHARES MY {OUR} STUPIDITY IN THIS MATTER. WE HAVE BOTH BEEN HUGE FANS OF YOUR WORK SINCE THE CREAM DAYS AND ALL WE CAN DO IS SHAKE OUR COLLECTIVE HEADS IN DISMAY OVER THIS FOLLY. WE WERE SORRY TO SEE THE RECENT RINGO TOUR DIDNT TAKE YOU ANY CLOSER TO US THAN TAHOE OR SAN DIEGO, AND NEITHER OF US IS IN THE KIND OF FINANCIAL BRACKET TO WARRANT THAT. IF YOU ARE ANYWHERE NEAR THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON TOUR {SEATTLE, PORTLAND ORE., VANCOUVER B.C.} OR THE LIKE, WE NEED TO KNOW. WE HAVE BURNED OUT LITERALLY DOZENS OF YOUR RECORDINGS THROUGH THE YEARS {VINYL, 8 TRACKS, REEL TO REEL, CASSETTES, AND ARE NOW ON CD'S.} THANKS FOR ALL THE YEARS OF GREAT STUFF. ITS VERY FULLFILLING FOR YOUR FANS. DROP ME A NOTE IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE AND ALTHOUGH I WILL KEEP CHECKING THIS SITE FOR TOUR SCEDULES, PUT ME ON A LIST OF FOLKS TO KEEP ABREAST OF YOUR UPCOMING FESTIVITIES. KEEP IT DOWN AS WE KEEP ON WONDERING.

I would like to know if Jack still thinks that J.S.Bach was 'the guv'nor' as far as bess playing goes. It was a quote from the Cream farewll video. Also, does Jack get into the classic these days. I am really into classical guitar now but I still really love the old cream stuff and so much that Jack has done since.

A quote from Leslie West in the magazine Guitarist January 1994, "Playing with Jack was my dream of a lifetime....I couldn't believe that he (Felix Pappalardi) was producing my favourite group (Cream)! So when I got to play with him and then Jack it was like fulfilling a dream; I mean it was just hard to comprehend. I learned more from playing with Jack than anybody." - M&L.

Jack, this is going to be another gush page, but you have really affected me over the years. I somehow always manage to get free ( way back in the West, Bruce & Laing days ) or front row seats to your concerts. Sorry Ringo, but I come mainly to see Jack on the tours. I'm still in awe over seeing you here in San Diego back in June. I just loved watching how much you were into playing for the fans. It was such a treat! I think it would be fantastic if you got your own solo group going on tour. I hope what I read somewhere isn't true, and this is going to be Ringos' last tour. No more Jack! If it is, thanks for the memories.

Saw Jack with Cream during the Farewell Tour in Baltimore at the Civic Center, second row from the stage. Opening acts were: Terry Reid ( I was so impressed with him that I went right out the next day and purchased Bang Bang You're Terry Reid LP) and the Moody Blues ( In Search Of The Lost Chord was their latest album). It was truly a spiritual experience!

I'm not entirely positive, but sometime in the early 70's I thought I remember hearing a magnificent rendition of the song, If I were a carpenter, by Jack Bruce. Do you know if he was involved with this song title around that time, and if so, how I might obtain a recording of it.

Thanks,

Randy

Jack, for me you are a total inspiration and I find it very difficult to imagine my life without your music, your vocals and your one of a kind, distinctive groove, melodic and contrapuntal bass playing. It is without a doubt that you are a true master at your craft whether it be singing, bass playing, piano playing or composing. No other musician has ever moved me at a live situation the way you did when you sang THEME and GOLDEN DAYS at Koln, Germany in NOV. of 93. Yes Jack, I've traveled the world to see you, though you did call me crazy when we met at S.O.B.'S in '94 and I told you that I flew to Koln, Germany to see you both nights at your 50th birthday concert.

NOT TO MENTION THE INSPIRATION OF TONS OF TODAYS MUSICIANS!! C'MON. DO WHAT YOU CAN JACK!! A FAN FOR LIFE

Dear Mr. Bruce, in 1976 I began playing the bass as a kid in Jr. high. I was such a big fan of yours that I begged my father for months (we didn't have much money so I had to save)to help me buy a used EBO. I really wanted an EB3 but couldn't afford one... I finally got the EBO and began playing in my first band-playing all Cream songs. I am in that same band after all these years, still playing most of the same music, although i do it on a Bass VI now! I have only had the opportunity to hear you play live once (1989 Question tour). If you ever feel the urge to visit, or sit in with your biggest fans, let me know. Best Wishes, Michael Jeff Scott Joe Chris Nancy

Delighted to be able to sign this guestbook. Jack Bruce was my great idol of the late 60s and 70s. The great trio of solo albums 'Songs for a Taylor' Harmony Row' and 'Out of the Storm' are marvellous and the latter two, in particular, full of intricate songs which only Becker/Fagen could match in composition complexity. Brilliant in live concert also, he's a fantastic musician and I'm proud he's a Scot! (Mustn't forget to praise Pete Brown also for the lyrics that have provided the base for Jack's music).

Dear Jack, A great website. I am 47 years-old, and have been an admirer of your unique and haunting songwriting and composition as far back as Cream. In addition to your incredible solo albums, some of the things you did with Leslie West and Corky Laing are still amazing to me. "Like a Plate" and "Out into the Fields" are original, mysterious and gorgeously rich. I have read some of the interviews you have given with respect to jazz, and I am in complete agreement. Improvisation is what real jazz is all about; not some saxiphonist (who will remain un-named) going "toot-toot". I used to argue with my friends that Cream (at least when you guys played live) was simply the first amplified (loud) jazz trio. Anyway, I used to turn Eric's channel off and listen to you and Ginger - what awesome counterpoint! I haven't had the opportunity to get any of your newer releases, and am looking forward to doing so shortly. I always wanted to thank you for the great music. I sincerely believe, as a fellow musician (34 years playing blues and rock) that you should be considered historically as one of this century's most original composeres. Thanks again and God bless you.

JACK, I GOT TO SAY THAT I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO YOU PLAYING FOR MANY YEARS,I THINK YOUR SINGING AND BASS PLAYING(ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER INSTRUMENT YOU PLAY!)IS TOTALLY THE BEST.YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY THE MOST TALENTED MEMBER OF CREAM(WITHOUT EXAGERATION). I WAS LISTENING TO SOME OF THE LIVE STUFF YOU DID WITH CREAM "SPOONFUL","TALES OF THE BRAVE ULLYSSES","DESERTED CITIES OF THE HEART",AND I HAVE TO SAY THE STUFF YOU WERE DOING WILL NEVER EVER BE DUPLICATED JUST TAKING PURE RAW TALENT INTO CONSIDERATION. JACK,I THINK CLAPTON'S REJECTION OF THE CREAM REUNION (THAT'S WHAT I HEARD) IS PURELY A DEFENSIVE MECHANISM - (BEING AFRAID OF BEING OUTPLAYED 0N STAGE TALENTWISE AND ENERGYWISE.) I HAVE A VERY DEEP RESPECT FOR WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON IN BOSTON. JACK AGAIN I THINK THE STUFF CREAM DID LIVE IS SO SUPERIOR TO WHAT OTHER GROUPS HAVE DONE.THE STUFF THAT YOU DID ON SPOONFUL (WHICH I'VE LISTENED TO 1000 TIMES)BLOWS ME AWAY EVERY TIME. P.S. I SAW YOU WITH RINGO AND THE GROUP ON DAVE LETTERMAN- YOU MUST HAVE BEEN DOING YOUR STUFF ON THE COMMERCIAL BREAK,I WAS SO PISSED THAT I COULDN'T SEE AND HEAR IT-WHEN THEY CUT BACK FROM THE COMMERCIAL IT WAS OBVIOUS THE CROWD WAS GETTING INTO IT. GOD BLESS MAN.

Dear Jack, Enjoyed your contribution to the James Jamerson tribute, 'Standing in the Shadows of Motown.' How sad that such a gifted man was largely overlooked during his lifetime. I've always loved your compositions that played around with the time signatures, i.e. 'Deserted Cities of the Heart,''As You Said,' etc. 'Like A Plate,' is one of the most astonishing feats of creativity I've ever heard on record. I have many bass students. Two things I tell them is, learn how to read music. And do yourself a favor and get some Jack Bruce recordings. I hope I will one day get the chance to see you live.

Dear Jack, Long time no see you. We originally met in 1981 further to an introduction of Don Airey or Cozy Powell (the first meeting was at Chez Louisette in Baker Street...and we continued at the pub next door) in regard to the Keith Emerson project, on which I was supposed to play guitar.

We rehearsed at the Bracknell Art Centre (where you proudly sported your porno guitar strap that a friend had artfully made for you out of multicoloured pieces of leather) in the summer of 1982 for some warm up gigs like the Windsor one you blew off because of sickness.

I still play the long riff you thought me from a song of yours dedicated to Charlie Parker, though I cannot remember the one I picked up in a few seconds (some odd time African thing) while John McLaughling could not play, as you told me.

Nothing really happened then, which was to be expected as ou told me that Keith had already asked you to join him when you left Cream, but you had told him to f... off.

We tried again to get something going with Dave Palmer from Jethro Tull in the spring of 1985 and you came from Germany to meet at the Coach and Hounds in Kensington. Then you decided that the material I had at that time was too classical for the mood you were in, so nothing happened and I moved to LA.

I cannot get through the old number so I have left a message with Pete Brown's answering machine, but obviously after only 15 years I do not know if that is him.

My latest venture is the PENTASYSTEM which makes the last few thousands years of music obsolete. Oddly enough that may suit you perfectly, so please check www.pentasystem.com and www.nidusprod/maestro.

I have just finished the record "12 JOKES FOR HEAVY METAL MANDOLIN" where there is a hell of a lot of Cream, but with the lead instrument being my newly invented HEAVY METAL MANDOLIN. It blows away guitar!

I have also finished the record "ANOTHER MILLENNIUM?", which is a fully blown "electric" orchestral record with full vocals, and is, in fact, not only a record, but the event of the millennium! No instrument from the past is used on this record, and even the drums are fully melodical!!!

Get in touch to let me know how to send you copies. I hope everything is well with you.

All the best

Alex

Jack (or you if I am so lucky to have your ear) has been a great influence on my playing. I have done lots of stuff from Rock and Roll, Reggae, Blues and lots of Jazz. I love jazz the most except for the fact that a lot of jazz players don't stick it out like Jack always has. I would love to play with you if you are ever in Chicago, if for only a song or two. I am 41 and have been playing ever since I fell in love you, John E., Jaco and Charlie Haden. Thanks

I know it's a long time since the BBM album I also know that there won't be another due to Gary Moore being a prat. What about BBW Bruce, Baker, Webb. Stan Webb is one of the best. Then again, what about BBC Bruce, Baker, Clapton. Perhaps shorten it to Cream or something. Go on do it whilst you're still alive.

In 1989 at a club {The Bayou} in Washington, D.C. I heard a performance. You sounded quite good and so did your band. A good number of fans waited a very long time to have an opportunity to see you. I did get a chance to shake your hand and you looked at me as if to say: "Thank you, if you could please get out of my way"... Ginger Baker left separately in a limo all by himself and a very nice guitarist by the name of Blues Saraceno did take the time to talk and sign autographs... I am a Professional Musician and have always found your work unique and creatively refreshing. "Thank you for being an inspiration!"

8/15/2000 Hi Jack! I saw you at the Goodbye Cream Tour in 1968 at the Los Angeles Forum and in about 1994 at the Ventura Theater when you joined forces with Ginger. Both were unforgettable. I have done my first CD, "Oceanskyland" and the band is of the same name. I dedicated track 5 (Smooth Transformations) to Jimi! The CD has a Cream, Jimi feel to it with a pop attitude. I'm sending a copy to a pub owner near you. He is the ex-husband of my masseuse. She told me you frequent the place. I hope he gets it to you! It would be great if you heard it. It's fresh out of Santa Barbara. TAKE CARE and KEEP ROCKIN! GREGOR ROBIN/OCEANSKYLAND This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (805) 969-9171

I like the song "Out Into The Fields" as recorded by the the Jack Bruce and Friends Band. Its' a really moving and powerful version and I just heard it for the first time the other day. Give it a listen. You will not be disappointed !!

Previous to this I had heard the same song by West, Bruce and Laing which was highly produced it seems.

Both versions are really good.

But I was completely blown away by the Friends version of Out Into The Fields.

Its a gem and well worth the time to listen.

Take Care.

The other day I was looking for a CD to play in the car and just happened to bump into my old copy of Disraeli Gears by Cream. I hadn't really given it a good listening to in some years. From the moment the music hit my ears, I felt suddenly drawn in by the shear beauty and intelligence of this music as if it was the first time I had ever heard it. By the time "Tales of Brave Ulysses" started, I found myself so emotionally involved, I almost had to stop the car. And the one element of the music which captivated me the most was that of Jack Bruce' awesome vocals, bass playing, and even more important, his writing. I was, to put it mildly, blown away. Shortly thereafter, I listened to the "Fresh Cream" CD and came away thinking just what an injustice it has been that such geniuses as Jack Bruce have been pushed out of the forefront in favor of the mediocrity of trendy bands and artists of the last twenty or so years. (I can still hear the ephoric harmonies of "I Feel Free" in my head as I write this). So when I discovered this web site, it touched my heart and soul to find that Jack is (and has been) very active and busy doing so many wonderful and creative things over these many years. And although I've always thought of Eric Clapton to be a great talent, it has always rubbed me that EC has garnered so much esteem and recognition, when in fact, Jack Bruce was always in my mind far more deservant of these accolades. At any rate, now that I have discovered this web site, I plan to make it a point in going back and playing catch up with regards to Jack's solo output and more recent projects. And being a professional singer/guitarist/songwriter myself, I find it great inspiration to rediscover one of the truly great musical influences that helped to spawn my own desire to make above average, high quality art. Jack Bruce set a standard so long ago that even I had almost forgotten about in light of the trite, immature music that gets precedence on the airwaves today. I only wish that there was a radio format today that plays only music of the rock masters, keeping those who are aware enough and who appreciate greatness, up to date on their current output. (Even NPR has a limited scope with regards to this). In lieu of this, I will sample some of Jack's current stuff on the Internet (and some of the things I've missed over the years) with great interest and will most certainly bookmark this web site and check back often. Thank you, Craig Marsden

I think that Mr. Bruces' influence as a musician, composer and singer goes well beyond record sales and airtime on the radio.

Most record stores in the USA have a "Bruce, Jack" section in the CD rack be it small or large --- but it is invariably there. That is a very tough market. Shelf space is highly limited.

Pop groups come and go.

Jacks' work will always be there for the next generation to discover and marvel at.

Whenever you mention Jack's name, people say, "Oh, the bass player with Cream." They don't seem to realise that Jack has been doing brilliant work since Cream, and that a lot of his best stuff has been his recent solo work. That's understandable when it's virtually impossible to buy Jack's CDs anywhere. It's as hard to buy his publicly released CDs as his bootlegs. Let's hope his solo recordings can be re-released worldwide. Regards - M&L.

Being able to have Gary cook for you and serve up a pint any time your at home proves you have lived a charmed life.

Does anybody know what tracks Larry Coryell plays on Jack's "Harmony Row", also I saw someone wrote that Out Into The Fields appears on a Jack Bruce & Friends LP, I thought the only version was performed by West,Bruce & Laing. Would appreciate if anyone can give me this information. Thanks

Hi Jack! You are an inspiration for me as bass player since 1968(first time I heard The Cream).I got a chance to watch you perform at Universal Amphiteather in Los Angeles with Ringo Starr in 99. God Bless you for all the good music You've been producing all these years. Rodolfo Braga Bass player

JUST HAPPENED ACROSS THE WEBSITE. IT'S GREAT TO KNOW THAT OTHERS SHARE AN APPRECIATION FOR JACK BRUCE! NOT TAKING AWAY FROM THE TALENT NOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF ERIC CLAPTON, CREAM WAS A TRUE COLLABORATION. I GET VERY TIRED OF HEARING DISC JOCKEYS REFER TO CREAM SONGS AS 'ERIC CLAPTON SONGS'. THERE WERE ACTUALLY FOUR GREAT INSTRUMENTS IN THE BAND- THE FOURTH BEING JACK'S VOICE.I STILL LISTEN TO CREAM MUSIC ALMOST EVERY DAY AND I FIND IT UNBELEIVABLE HOW GOOD THEY WERE - ESPECIALLY STACKED UP AGAINST TODAYS SO CALLED MUSICIANS. WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD A MEMORABLE BASS RUN? THANKS JACK - YOU HAVE NOT BEEN FORGOTTEN! - MARC

Hey Jack, I lost track of how many times I saw the Cream in San Francisco. NEVER missed you guys when you were at the Fillmore or Winterland.(Only 3 bucks!) I don't know why, but being a drummer myself, I always hated the way the local radio stations would cut out ANY drum solo on a song they would play. They even turned off Ringo and they'd NEVER play "Toad" in a million years. Something against "speed" I think. Fuckin' assholes WISH they could play like Ginger. How is Ginger these days? "Fat" and healthy I hope. "Fresh Cream" was always my fav-o-rite album from you guys. "Pressed Rat & Wart Hog" LIVE! Take care. Randall.

As I sat at the computer a few days ago with the television on in the other room, I suddenly heard the opening chords to 'White Room'. I rushed in to see an ad for Apple computers. I find it interesting that with thousands of "classic rock" songs to choose from, 'I Feel Free' and now 'White Room' have been chosen by these major corporations to sell their products, especially since the type of computers advertised are not the kind that would appeal to people in the age group most familiar with the music of Cream. They're of the type marketed to younger consumers. It only goes to show that the music of Cream/Jack Bruce is truly timeless. Tonight MTV put on their self-indulgent display of mostly no-talent insipid rubbish; there wasn't a single act on that show worthy of tuning Jack's axe. After listening to his Blink 182 CD the other day, my 13 year old son asked me to play 'Pollution Woman' from West, Bruce and Laing's first album. I taught my son to learn to appreciate a variety of musical styles from classical to "pop" music and to not let others dictate what he listens to. It appears that my guidance has rubbed off on him; he has expressed a desire to see Jack in concert with me when he tours again with his own band. I never pushed my taste in music on him, he has come to appreciate Jack's music on his own just from being exposed to it when I play it. Let's hope the new album and tour happen soon. C'mon Jack, you've got the next generation lining up to see you now, so let's get busy. This site is testament to how much you are appreciated by fans of 'real' music throughout the world. WE KNOW how incredibly individual and original your music is and how inspired and deep from within your soul you compose, sing and play and that's why we love you and wait with such anticipation for your new work. Could you please give us some hint as to when the new album may be released? C'mon Jack, it's 'Traintime'. Waiting impatiently in New Jersey.

I think I mentiond this before, but the BBC did a documentary on Jack in 1969 called Rope Ladder To The Moon. I think it was directed by Tony Palmer. From what I can remeber they had shots of him on his island, at a Celtic v Rangers football match as well as walking around streets of Glasgow where he grew up. He played several tracks from Songs for a Tailor with Spedding, Hiseman, Heckstall-Smith, Lowther and co as well as some Things we Like sort of stuff with just Hiseman and Heckstall-Smith. Can anyone else remember this. Maybe we should get in touch with BBC archives to see if it still exists. What say you Jack fans?

Jack - I've been a fan (and a musician) for over 20 years. Your music has been a constant pleasure and inspiration to me since I was in my teens, from the days of Cream onwards. I even sat in the front row when you performed the Sam Shepherd play at the Bridge Lane theatre in Battersea - it was a knockout, and I still can't understand why you don't do more acting! Anyway, keep it up (as well as down!). All the best to you. Steve Bush.

Mr.Bruce, You are without a doubt one of the greatest bass guitarists who has ever lived. I have followed your career since the CREAM days. I play those records over and over again all the time. Your instinctive style of improvisational playing is nothing short of phenominal. I just wanted to thank you so much for your invaluable contribution to music.

I noticed a couple of omissions in the discography. Jack was one of 2 bass players on Michael Gibbs first recording on Deram called Michael Gibbs. (1970 I think) He is on most tracks and his powerful counterpoint bass line on the closing track is truly awesome. One of his finest moments in my opinion. The album is available on CD and is a forgotten classic. It features Chris Spedding, Ray Russell, John Marshall, Tony Oxley, John Surman, Ray Warleigh, Alan Skidmore and many others. Also he appeared on a few tracks of a double album by Donovan in the 60s. Cant remember the name and I have never heard it.

In '67, Cream played at the (now long gone) New Haven (Connecticut) Arena.

Such was the level of performance (not to mention the decibels) that the unusually rowdy crowd noted prior to the show was reduced to humble silence on the way out following the show.

Stunning event.

A budding lead guitarist, at that time, I asked a huge, bearded roadie, wearing an old greek fisherman's cap, if I could have a look at Clapton's firebird, a few minutes after the show was over. Chap glanced at the guitar (leaning against the Marshall stack) and back at me, and finally muttered "yeah, alright...".

And to my utter amazement, when he handed me the instrument, I found that the strings were the thickness of telephone cables, and sat damn near a half inch off the neck at the octave. Yet I'd just heard an entire evening of whole-note bends and vibratos.

Serious paradigm shift -- I'll never forget it.

Thanks, Jack for so many years of phenomenal songs and sounds!

Lachlan

An addition for your video listings that isn't there: Jack Bruce is featured playing'Mellow Down Easy' and 'Politician' with Dick Heckstall-Smith on a video called 'Eco Rock: Festival for a Green Future' that was shot in 1989. Unfortunately it is the end of a set by the look of it and a bit loose and not at his best. You might find it in the remainder bins - that's where I found mine! For interest the other people featured on the video are Van Morrison; John Martyn; Rick Wakeman (ugh!!); Davey Spillane and two outfits that I'd never heard of: Love&Money and Blues'n'Trouble. A curio really and not essential.

Hi Jack, Hi Margarit,

You know it's 20 years since you Bill, Clem and David rehearsed here! How time flies!

Had a great summer on the road, having spent a few years involved with a charity, and loving working for Marshall Arts again.

Hope your both well and congratulations on a great site. Visit mine if you want http://www.tour-manager.net its very basic compared to yours.

All the best,

Will, Jan, Mark and Brant.

I am searching for West, Bruce and Laing's 'Whatever Turns You On' and 'Live 'n Kickin'. If anyone can make a copy either on cassette or CD I would be willing to pay a fair price. Please contact me ASAP. Hey Jack, it's getting a little too quiet in Cuicoland, what's up with the new album? Can you give your faithful any estimate on a release date? We are all waiting for some new material and hopefully a tour with YOUR band! I have heard rumors of a possible Cream reunion. I have heard the possible Cream reunion as one reason your latest solo project has been delayed. Can you confirm or deny? In any case, we miss you. God bless you Sir!

Thank you for Cream's version of Willie Dixon's Spoonful. For 20 years I didn't hear it, though it was always stuck in back of my mind. When I reheard the live version, done in S.F. 32 years ago, I was simply awed by your brilliance! Thanks!!! Dan

Dear Jack, It is absolutely fantastic to hear the news regarding 'HotFlash' and the completion of your next solo record! Can't wait for both. I am planning to take my son (who is 13, and one of your next generation of fans) to see you when the tour arrives stateside. I am forever grateful to you for taking the time to chat with me on your way to the tour bus after a gig in Phiadelphia in February, 1990 and for signing an autograph. You were very gracious to be so accommodating after playing your heart and soul out for over 2 hours that night. I was about 10 feet from the stage and you and the band were in top form that night (Ginger was still recuperating from his appendectomy but gave it his all nonetheless). It was truly an unforgetable, magical night. We drove 40 miles through a snowstorm to see you that night but it was well worth the trip. Thanks for all the great music you've given the world since the 60's and beyond. Your body of work speaks for itself and places you among the most talented and creative musical geniuses of all time. God bless, Bob in New Jersey, USA

Hi Jack and friends,

I'm happy to hear about the new group and the update on the album for which we have all been waiting. I thought I would share an interesting fact with you all. I have been starting to get statistics on my web site dedicated to music. There is a counter which keeps tabs on page views. I have over 30 artists featured on my site. Jack's page is the number one viewed page of all. It is viewed more than twice as often as the page in second place, Bill Laswell. This is pretty cool considering I have some popular and outstanding artists listed such as John Coltrane, Joni Mitchell, Sarah Vaughan, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, John Lee Hooker, etc.

Glad things are going well for you, Jack.

Peace and love to all,

Joe

When I was a freshman in college, a close friend introduced me to Harmony Row. Soon afterwards I had a simple message posted on the door to my dormitory room: "No, Jack Bruce is God."

There is no singer in the history of rock who can ever compare to Jack. I used to dream that he would team up with my favorite guitarist, Jeff Beck, my next favorite singer, Stevie Winwood, and maybe Stuart Copeland on drums. But I suppose that such is simply a fond wish. And I doubt, even with that kind of lineup, the musicians could ever produce something that is, in my untutored opinion, quite as magical as Harmony Row.

Hello Jack and fellow fans,

I am wondering whether I could locate a transcribed interview of Jack. My web site presents various musicians. Jack was my third entry after John Coltrane and John Lee Hooker. (Not bad company.Eh, Jack?) When I started the site I tried to say a few words of my own regarding each artist, but as time went by I decided it would be better to let the musician speak for him or her self. I have terrific quotes from Coltrane, Hooker, John McLaughlin and others. I'm having difficulty finding a good quote from Jack.....Wow! As I write this I realized something. I have a personal letter from Jack in response to a fan letter a few years ago. Perhaps his reference to being especially gratified that my young daughter liked his music would be good. If anyone has a memorable quote from Jack please e-mail it to me. I don't operate my site for money. I'm strictly an appreciator of music and a modest amatuer blues harmonica player. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. Peace and Love,

Joe Higgins

Hello again,

Maybe I'm wrong or maybe I'm nuts, but if a film were to be made of Jack's life I think Robin Williams should play Jack. Does anyone else see that?

Pardon me for rambling today, but I am home sick with a feaver and I'm tired of being in bed. I just finished watching a movie about Jimi Hendrix. Too bad we lost Jimi at such a young age. His musical vision was advanced like Jack's and John McLaughlin's. I understand he and Jack were planning on working together before Jimi died. What a bummer!

Has anyone else checked out the web page of Gary Husband? Gary and Jack have worked together. I remember his great drumming from Cities of the Heart. His site made me aware of a recording I hadn't heard with Jack, Anthony Hindson and Friends - It's A Curious Life. It's on my wish list for my upcoming birthday.

Bye all!

Joe

Jack Bruce is a giant to me. When i was learning, i looked to him for inspiration,and now, 20 years later,he`s even more important to me. He is so unique, you can instanly hear his personality and passion shine through. when the music starts playing, you KNOW it`s Jack Bruce after a few bars. He is a legend that i just can`t get enough of! Tony Senatore- Bassist-USA http://www.senny.com/

Jack Bruce is a living legend. In 1968, he was the greatest electric bassist alive, rock or jazz. No one plays with Jack`s passion. His sound is instantly indentifiable. I can`t wait to see him play again. Jack, we love you, you`re the KING! Peace, Tony Senatore, Bassist-USA.. http://www.senny.com/

DEAR MR. BRUCE. YOU ARE THE MAN. I AM LISTENING TO "WE'RE GOING WRONG." RIGHT NOW AT WORK. I HAVE LOVED YOUR MUSIC SINCE 1967. AND YES, I SURVIVED THE 60'S. IT WAS A MARVELOUS TIME. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING HOTFLASH WHEN IT COMES OUT. YOU HAVE A MOST DISTINCT VOICE THAT REACHES THE SOUL. I AM FORTUNATE TO HAVE YOUR GIFTED VOICE TO LISTEN TO.

Jack, loved your music since CREAM, BBM was better than Cream too bad u guys did not tour the USA.I am going to LONDON in april to see GARY MOORE perform at the HAMMERSMITH, he also never tours the USA. I just purchased your 50th birthday CD and boy do you and G. Baker and G. Moore sound mucho mucho good, even better than CREAM (sorry) I am partial to G.M. since MR. E.C. has not been inspired since his all acoustic C.D. (UNPLUGGED). I guess he would rather use an automatic drummer box than real friends and drummers i.e. (PILGRIM) Take care, RICHIE (USA)

I played in a group with Jack at the Griffen Hotel in Bothwell, near Glasow, in the summer of 1960. Since then Jack has gone on to be one of Glasgow's greatest musicians, while I became one of it's worst. Did you ever get your driving license, Jack? Glad to hear you're doing so well

I'll soon be meeting Jack Bruce in person as our drummer 'Sky' went to school with Jack's daughter, and whom he is now still best of friends with. It will be great meeting him as we play in a cream influenced band and will probably need a glass of water and somewhere to lie down on afterwards. I also had the good fortune to meet Jack's son, Malcom in London, he is an amazing composer and all round musician, we had a jam and I think he sampled some of my bass work (whether or not he used it, I'll never know, but it was nice of him to be interested in another struggerling musician. Thanks for reading this and I will keep you posted as to how our meeting with Jack goes! Rock'n'Roll!!!!!

Groovy site. A question for Jack. I am a mate of Joel Clempson and have played bass with him at the bar he plays at on the weekend. (Cream tracks, all of them) He tells me that you once expressed an interest in coming to the bar and playing. I wonder if this is true and if so can we expect to see you soon when your schedule allows it? I will probably wet myself and I know Murray will. (Murray has huge hair and met you at the Astoria I think.) Anyway, the site is really good, but the music is better. Enough said. Thankyou.

Hello from Aussies Deep South!! Great to finally discover your website and interest in getting to Australia one way or another! I hope that when you do finally make it you consider including the island state of Tasmania! Most great world talents always seem to forget us (Only getting as far south as Melbourne). Status Quo managed to remember us last week, allowing us southerners to enjoy a great concert at a good venue (Derwent Entertainment Centre). I hope you consider us especially if visiting Oz with your new band. (Sounds great! Especially with Andy Summers! The new band might even crack the Charts? Dare I hope?!))

A recent entry from a Mr. Thomson from Jack's hometown (Glasgow) stated that 'Harmony Row' is one of the finest and "unsung" albums ever recorded and he declared it "criminal" that this incredible work has been ignored by the music trade. I couldn't agree more. I was recently fortunate to purchase a brand new copy of 'Songs For a Tailor' on CD and I cannot understand why 'Harmony Row' is not available as well. Perhaps there's a problem with the legal rights to the ownership of the material. I also had the wonderful fortune of procuring the instructional bass video which features Jack explaining some of his playing technique and he gives some very cool insight into some of the history of those legendary Cream songs. Particularly interesting and amusing is his explanation of the meaning of the initials N.S.U. Best of all though are the incredible performances of the trio of Jack, Gary Moore, and Gary Husband. This trio truly rivals Cream's performance of these songs, which I am well aware is a rather bold statement to make but I'm making it anyway! Quite incredible. Jack sings and plays with the same fire and passion as if those songs were being played for the first time, and Gary Moore KICKS ASS! Sorry Eric but your playing has just gotten lazy and uninspired lately in my humble opinion.(A few years back you were quoted as saying that Cream should reform but I'm beginning to think that you're afraid you might not have 'it' anymore). Gary Husband's playing is also quite incredible technically, and he plays like he truly appreciates playing with a legend and puts his own unique percussive signature on the songs. He is one great drummer. Anyway, GET THIS VIDEO, it was well worth every penny of the 30 bucks I paid. It is available online through CD Now. (In my opinion Cream should never reform; their place in rock history cannot be denied and this is 2000, not 1968. Cream was truly special: the 'gods of music' brought three brilliant musicians together to create magic at that time in history. But magic, when it comes to music, just happens- it cannot be forced or somehow 'conjured up'. Jack you've proven yourself since then, and I feel YOUR best work has been done 'post-Cream') I'm sure 'Hotflash' will follow suit- can't wait! Love ya Jack!

Good to hear Jack is still busy. Loved Monklack and the version of Morning Story reminded me of the sublime Harmony Row. Does anyone have any idea when this classic album is going to be released on CD (not just Japanese import)? My vinyl copy became unplayable about 12 years ago and it's just too long to go without that wonderful sound.

Excited about the new project and hope that you will consider playing somewhere in the Mid-West. Plenty of loyal fans will drive hours to see you. Caught John McLaughlin a few weeks ago and now have Jack Bruce to see live in order to have a complete life- don't dissappoint me !!!!

Hello Mr. Bruce,

i would take this opportunity to say "thank you" for your music which i enjoy about 25 years. the earliest records in my collection including you are graham bond organisation issues. one of my favorites next to your solo albums is "road games" by alan holdsworth. your voice and your playing on bass and keyboards as well is a real gift. what i miss since decades is the issue of things we like and especially out of the storm. i'm really curious on your work with andy summers and dennis chambers whom i estimate especially for his playing with john scofield.

all the best

Suffice to say that your participation in this project would mean very much to the children's hospital, and to me personally. Projects like this are win-win. The buyers of the book are happy with the excellent product we provide, and the kids get the care they deserve.

Please include any special instructions which you would like us to follow. I can promise that any requests/directions you include will definitely be honored, I will see to that personally. The goal here is to help kids, not to be sensational.

Jack is the reason why I wanted to learn how to play the bass guitar. It doesn't matter the time of day I'll listen to Cream and it sounds clean and to the roots. I wish I could find the early works before Cream, so far no luck. C-ya.

At some point, I would like to see a biography or autobiography written and published about Mr. Bruce. I went up to Walden Books the other day and found plenty of books about Eric Clapton, but not a one about Jack.

I'm a big fan of Jack's music and play piano as a hobby.

I'd be interested in reading Jacks' impression of what the 1960's were all about, his views on the Music business and of course, any insider stories on what it was really like to be "on the road" so frequently playing in these different bands.

Jacks' an important guy in our times.

Just the other day I went up to my office at the bank and some painters were working on the new offices in my section of the buidling. It was lunchtime and they had their radio on while they were on break. Sure enough, on the radio it played ----- WHITE ROOM. I noticed they turned up the volume a little bit.

I'm just a fat, middle aged, conservative banker now and you know when I heard White Room --- I felt like ripping off my tie, turning it into a headband and joining the painters for a smoke !!

Jack's music brings a lot of people together from all walks of life and I think thats a pretty darn good thing !!

Take Care.

Hello Jack, When Harmony Row was first released, I picked up a copy, and thought it was the best thing I'd ever heard. Over the course of Time and Travel, my copy disappeared. Years went by, and I regretted I didn't have it anymore. Not long ago, I was finally determined to find a copy -- I had to hear it again. I searched and searched to no avail. It had been long out of print, and the only copies available seemed to be CDs for $200 - 300, which I could ill-afford. Still, I continued my search, and finally found someone in the UK who had a copy on Vinyl for a price I could afford. It wasn't in perfect condition, but it was in pretty good shape. After numerous delays, it finally arrived in my mail. Now I had to find someone with a turntable, in the age of lasers. A member of my brother's band went and bought a turntable, and from there burned a CD for me. Last night, I FINALLY got to hear the whole album from beginning to end. I actually had to take a break after each song, to recover my composure...it was like seeing, or realizing, something so beautiful that you are simply overwhelmed and feel your heart and mind cannot bear the intensity of the Joy. For me, John Lennon always WAS the Beatles, and Jack Bruce was always Cream...and so much more too. Perhaps it's a token of societal insanity that a gem like Harmony Row is out of print, while we are drowning in unimaginative and unoriginal "music" that is just ear pollution. Although it is late in coming, I wanted to thank you, along with Pete Brown and Chris Spedding and John Marshall and Barry Ainsworth for this brilliant masterpiece. Was it really 30 years ago? It seems more like 30 seconds.

Best, Monte

I was 12 years old when Wheels of fire came out. I remember like yesterday standing in Alexanders dept. store record section in White Plains, N.Y. over hearing this long haired hippi ranting about this album Wheel of Fire. He was telling this guy how he was at the Filmore at the concert and how incredible it was and how this album was a recoding of it. Curious, I lift the silver and black jacket out of the racks and read the song titles. The album containd White room (a single which I had in my 45 collection) so I purchased it. I must admit while it was far from the top ten buble gum I was used to, by my second listen, I was hooked. Recently I purchased the Wheels of fire CD and was amazed at aftere all these yaers, It sounded so deep,rich and still very interestingly enjoyable. The album that had opened a whole new musical world to me in my pre teens is now the one I most frequently play while I drive over 30 years later. I would like to have you recomend something of Jack's more contemporary projects as a good introduction to post Cream work. I remember in the 80's I herad a cut on the raido by Trower it sounded some how familier so I wrote the name down and bought the album and was pleasently suprised to find Jack Bruce was on it. I have always wondered why Cream split up so abruptly and why after all these years, with Clapton working so many differnt musitions, that there has never been some kind of collaberation between the two of them? Perhaps, you might have time to respond . I enjoyed reviewing your web site. Thank You. Respectfuly submitted John Callahan

I think that Jack Bruce is one beautiful cat. His Bass playing, it's on this other level of thinking. Listening to the 'Cream', man it's like having yor mind transported to another realm. It's a real shame that there are'nt any musicians around any more. I'm a guitarist, and I've been trying to get a band together for ages, but there just is'nt any talent about. If there are any bass players about, I'd be interested to hear from you, bearing in mind I'll expect a bassist to be shit hot and play a majority of 'Creams' back catalouge. Just in case one was wondering, I play a Fender Telecaster, Gibson Les Paul and a Gibson Flying Vee through a Marshall 100 watt all valve TSL head with two 4" by 12" cabs, so I'm deadly serious. I live in the Portsmouth area of England, and my telephone number is 023 92 351810. If one wishes to call ,they might want to do so after 6.00pm as I attend college. Sorry there's no e-mil address, it's on account of me knowing bugger all about computers.

Hello...as everyone else here or elsewhere, I have been a fan of Jack/Mr. Bruce since the days of Cream; looking back to see where he came from and followed him forward through his solo albums, and his other groups such as West, Bruce, and Laing (which I hitchhiked to DEEE-Troit on a dare to see him at Ford Auditorium in 1973+/-), BLt, and etc. I myself have played bass since 1972, and have both enjoyed/can't get enough of the sounds and the style that JB produces from the bass guitar. I, too, have tried to follow the "style" of a more melodic/flowing bass. When you listen to the 'trad' ways that were about in rock prior to Cream, there is just no comparison...and Jack B. was one of the first rock bassists, it seems (thanks to great jazz/blues roots to go with it)that must have made it possible. Think about it...other than a passing nod by Paul McC with All my Loving and its walking bass; what else was there but "1/4/5" and "keep the beat"? Thanks, Jack, for being such a great musician and a great inspiration to myself as well as countless others (here and elsewhere...did I here that somewhere before?). Anyway...it's great to know you are still out there and performing and doing your style. Oh, one more thing...does anyone out there know where one might be able to obtain any of the old Tony Williams Lifetime recordings? I have tried in vain to get some of them, but can't seem to get my hands on them...any clues, anyone? Hopefully someone has some info. they could forward on...I would greatly appreciate it. Well...time to mosey on; hope to here more of what is going on with JB soon, and maybe he might make it over the Michigan way/ay? GO JB!

Just found the website & it rocks. Jack & Cream were without a doubt one of the greatest rock groups of ALL time. Unfortunately, I was born in '71 so i never saw them live but, i have alot of their music. You don't hear bass playing like that anymore. I'd love if they came down my way. Jack, if your reading this, Your will go down in History as the Greatest Bassist there is! Keep it up! Feel free to e-mail.

Bruce Cameron and I were friend`s for many years and wherever he`s gone, we`ll be friends there to. Most of all he shared his experience with my wife Joyce and I. While creating his CD, Bruce Cameron was very happy to have worked with you, he told me so. You may not remember me, but I rode along with Bruce to carry you to the Wilmington Airport for your return home.It is always hard to understand such a great loss, as Bruce was to many.But I`ll never forget his laughter and enjoyment from his experience with you and his CD project.

Still missing him, Red and Joyce Please feel free to e-mail anytime.

Jack, I first saw you on a Tuesday night at Union Catholic High School in Scotch Plains NJ in 1968 in your Cream days, it was amazing. The best playing Clapton has ever done was with you. Wish I had seen you with Larry Coryell At the Fillmore East years ago. Caught you here and there over the years. So glad to hear you are hitting the road again with your own band and with Dennis Chambers, can't wait to see you. Your song writing is brilliant. There have been a few perfect singing voices in "Rock", yours is way up there.

Jack yourself and Felix Pappalardi are the two greatest bass players that rock has ever known. I want to thank you so much for all of the fantastic music that you have created thru the years and I look forward to your upcoming album with childlike enthusiasm. There's only one more thing I could wish for and that is to have you and Leslie West do something substantial one more time, I think you guys were extrordinary together and I believe Leslie is much greater with someone of your musical stature to guide his great talents. I look forward to seeing you if you do tour with the upcoming albums release. God bless you and yours and happy holidays.

Why do you 3 remain a reunion holdout? Management? INS/IRS problems? Musical evolution? Nothing left to say? Too many low speed rides in the car with BB? What's the b.f.d? God knows, Hendrix would have loved a live gig now, and he could play rings around anyone (but you know that). Have you guys forgotten where you came from and why? Are you waiting for others to emerge so you can seal yourselves in amber? Would doing it make you sad? Will you perish if you try? What's the worst that could happen?

It was December 15, 1972 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, PA that West, Bruce, and Laing headlined the most incredible concert I have ever seen (and I have seen more than I remember). Twenty-eight years later and Jack is still at it. What a blessing we didn't lose him like we've lost so many other great talents. Jack is a survivor and he's still got it. The performances on the Jack Bruce instructional video with Garys Moore and Husband are KILLER! Waiting with great anticipation for whatever Jack does next. What I wouldn't give to go back in time and see Jack do 'Powerhouse Sod' one more time. F'n incredible! LLJB! RC in Bordentown, NJ

Jack! Why it's taken so long to write this long overdue note is a mystery! Just want you to know I learned to play bass listening to your artistry on your CREAM stuff! Among my arsenal: a very old EB-3!

Recently, had a live band play our bumper music on our motorsport radio show out of Toronto. Got up afterwards and covered Politician, Sittin' on Top o' The World and Sunshine. Handled vocals too. Reaction was favourable. Haven't done that in years! You have provided hacks like myself with alot of inspiration, great music, and an awful lot of fun.

Good luck with Hotflash. My $'s already waiting for the release! BBM was splendid, but I long for a final CREAM reunion with Eric and Ginger! You could charge a thousand bucks a ticket and sell out that sucker!

Get Hotflash to Toronto please! Stay wired and thankyou from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful stuff over the years!

Dear Jack. Great news about HotFlash, can't wait to see the three of you "tread the boards" here in the UK. Met you (and Gary Moore) briefly at Colosseum gig in London's Astoria in Oct '98. Found myself standing next to you as Chris Farlowe & Colosseum performed "Theme for an Imaginary Western", my favourite compostion of yours. This moment was one of the highlights of my life and the following day I went out and finally got myself the bass I always promised myself. I'm working hard at it!. Have a lovely Xmas - Hope to see you in 2001. Regards, Steve Ripsher.

Dear Jack, There still exists quite a bit of live unreleased Cream material. I am writing you to suggest that serious consideration be given to releasing at least three CD's of live material. The first is "CREAM-LIVE AT THE BBC". We have had BBC releases from The Beatles, Hendrix and Led Zepplin. It is time to release the live Cream broadcast recordings. Here's what the CD would feature: 8 Nov, 1966, Wrapping Paper, Sweet Wine, Steppin' Out; 9 Dec, 1966, Cat's Squirrel, Traintime, Lawdy Mama, I'm So Glad; 10 Jan, 1967, Four Until Late, I Feel Free, NSU; 30 May, 1967, Strange Brew, Tales of Brave Ulysses, We're Going Wrong, Take It Back; 24 Oct, 1967, Outside Woman Blues, Born Under a Bad Sign, Sunshine of Your Love; 9 Jan, 1968, Politician, Steppin'Out, SWLABR, Blue Condition. The Second CD would be a two CD set of the live recordings made at the Filmore West and at Winterland, San Francisco, in March of 1968. This CD would be "CREAM- LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO", a 2 CD set. Here's what would be on it: Filmore West, 7 March, 1968, First Show- NSU, Spoonful, Sunshine of Your Love, Crossroads, Rollin'and Tumblin', Sweet Wine. Second Show- Tales of Brave Ulysses, Toad, I'm So Glad. Winterland, 8 March, 1968, First Show- Cat's Squirrel, Sunshine of Your Love, Spoonful, Traintime, I'm So Glad, Toad. Winterland, 9 March, 1968, First Show- Tales of Brave Ulysses, NSU, Sleepy Time Time, Crossroads, Sweet Wine, Toad. Second Show- Spoonful, Sunshine of Your Love, Sitting on Top of the World, NSU, I'm So Glad, Toad. Second Show- Spoonful, Sunshine of Your Love, Sitting On Top of the World, NSU, I'm So Glad, Toad. Winterland, 10 March, 1968, First Show- Tales of Brave Ulysses, Spoonful, Crossroads, We're Going Wrong, Sweet Wine, Toad. Second Show- Sunshine of Your Love, NSU, Steppin' Out, I'm So Glad, Toad.

The Third CD in this series would be Cream's final Concert on 26 November, 1968. The CD would be "CREAM LIVE AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL". This CD would include: First Show- White Room, Politician, I'm So Glad, Sitting On Top of the World, Crossroads, Toad, Spoonful, Sunshine of Your Love, Steppin' Out. Second Show- White Room, I'm So Glad, Sitting On Top of the World, Crossroads, Toad, Spoonful, Sunshine of Your Love, Steppin' Out. Bonus Tracks- 12 Jan, 1993, Century Plaza Hotel, Los Angeles, California, Rock n'Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony- Sunshine of Your Love, Born Under A Bad Sign, Crossroads. Jack, this live material begs to be released. Each CD would include the requisite photos and historical commentary by yourself, Eric and Ginger. Your legions of fans would love to add these CD's to their Cream CD collections. Could your manager, Mrs. Bruce, put this on her "things to do" list for 2001? Merry Christmas to the Bruce Family, and I hope to hear your thoughts on these CD ideas. Cheers, Rob

Hello Jack I'm a guitarist trying to learn how to play Electric bass guitar.I thought I'd ask some questions to my favorite bassist.Would you be so kind as to answer? I leave the bass out on the couch so I pick it up every chance I get.I've got the rest stroke down .How do I get rid of string noise when playing 8th notes or skipping strings? You are the best

Best site on the web. Jack,thanks for putting life into Bass players. I started on bass in '64 I never really played untill I heard Fresh Cream. Give a listen to Eric Johnson's Live and Beyond. E.J is the only guitarist that has captured E.C's live tone the only thing missing is Jack and Ginger.

I was lucky enough to see Jack Bruce, Leslie West, & Corky Laing in Chicago in 1972 at the Chicago Auditorium, EXCELLENT CONCERT. Now that was a trio. I have been a fan of Mr. Bruce for many decades and wish him all the best and continued success. Thanks for your contributions to Music, it wouldn't be the same without your efforts. Steve

Hey, is the end of my Jack's album buying days? I see there is something called Mesmerized in CD Now which to an lag like me looks a little like it is only available to "download" at quite an expense. I guess if you have high quality gear and a CD writer then it is ok - I have neither (difficult to keep up with the pace of change and the expense!!). Anyway, don't most people prefer a "solid" (hard!!) collectible? Is this the end of a beautiful friendship - someone please tell me it will be released in proper form in due course!! Derek - help!!

Does anyone know ANYTHING about the following songs that CD Now says are by Jack Bruce on a release called Mesmerized available by download: Redline The Prodigal Son Loose Cannon Storms Of Disillusions Unkind Burial (Sanctum Remix) Built In A Day Renhetens Elv (Sanctum Remix) War Against You Work Of Art (Raison D'Etre Remix) Enthralled Take A Look Reapin' Existence Drift Curse The Gods Old West F-Over Certain To Be Wrong Blowhole Panic Attack

I would prefer a regular commercial release which has credits etc., but if a download is the only available format to get new Jack, let the downloading begin! But can anyone shed some light on this? Is this really a new release? I have a feeling there's another musician calling himself JB. If anyone has any info, please share it. Thanks.
