Jack, I had the privilege of opening for CREAM Dec. 22,23 1967 at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit with my band SOAP. It was an amazing experience and stands as one of the highpoints of my musical career. Thanks!

I remember viewing a video clip of "As You Said" on YouTube before it was forever removed. I enjoyed this clip immensely and would like to get any information on acquiring the DVD which contains you performing solo in the studio. "As You Said" has always been a favorit of mine ever since I first heard it played on vinyl when it was first released on "Wheels Of Fire". Any info as to how I may odtain a copy of this video is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your assistance...Dave.

Oh man do i owe you a debt of gratitude :-) So much of my inspiration welled up from your archives of killer recordings and performances. Seems i can never get enough. I used to joke with a friend that "had Cream ever re-united" i'd crawl on hands and knees from 1000 miles to attend just to see you perform. I got my wish, tho the China-town bus seemed a far better means of transport to NYC, hahaha! You're solo work has been established as my own "master-class" to practice, learn, and listen to. Thanks again for sharing so much great music!

Just witnessed Jack last night at Celtic Connections "Bring it all Home" Gerry Rafferty tribute gig in Glasgow . . "Shipyard Town" was astonishing, as were the collaborations with Tom Robinson and James Vincent Macmorrow. I'm a "Retired" Glasgow Bassist (ex KT Blues Band and latterly "Roost" - and my partner Kate had neved heard Jack Live . . my main influence in 40+ years of playing of playing Her reaction "Wow, what a voice, what a Bass player and that is the most gorgeous looking Bass I've ever seen . . too much to hope that she may buy me one for my collection I suppose? Keep rocking Jack, you were the highlight of the gig for us and did Gerry proud I'm sure

Dear Jack I've just watched the BBC programme about you twice. As someone who saw one of Cream's very early gigs in Greenford North London in the mid sixties and bought Songs for a Tailor (which I had forgotten how good it was), I found the programme very moving. If there is any possibility of doing so, the tracks you recorded with Lau etc for the programme would be a beautiful CD for some one like me. I've played mainly folk and blues music all my life and that combination of musicians was just fantastic. I'm sure it would be successful. With my best wishes Bernie

I think I have just discovered you Jack. Although I liked Cream in the 60's it was too short at time with you. Dug out my old cream record though and playing it again. Will get the 'tailor' album next. I have been watching your Gerry R performance - excellent. I have also watched the documentary and it was engrossing. I will watch it a few times more. Keep well, keep safe, keep going. Hope to see you in concert sometime

Hi Jack, Thanks for all the years of music. I'm a long time fan being turned on to your music in 1967 (at the age of 7!)by my older brother who had a band and had albums by GBO, MM and Cream. Since his CDs were destroyed in a fire (and my brother's not a big fan of digital downloads--he'll do them but he prefers a hard copy)I'm planning on picking up the boxed set. Is there anywhere here that one can purchase a signed card or booklet?- as I'd like to add that. Thanks for all the wonderful years of music and I hope to see you touring the U.S. again! I've been listening to "Jet Set Jewell" quite a bit lately and I'm just amazed that the suits foolishly decided NOT to release this back in the day.

Dear Jack, it's been a while since i wrote, have been jamming here in Wisconsin with several local blues bands, singing and playing the harp as I have done since 1969 when in high school. Still enjoy your live version of Taintime from Wheels of fire, Damn! you were blowing that night!!!! It was one of first songs I learned to play on harp, that and rollin and tumblin. You and Paul butterfield were my major influences, along with John Mayall. Was hoping you would hit Chicago area this year, best wishes on your upcoming tours!!! Ron

I went to see Jack Bruce & His Big Blues Band last night at Warrington Parr Hall - and what a storming gig it was!!! I also picked up the new live CD (from Milton Keynes). It was a great set last night - different from the gig I saw a year back (in Llandudno). The band doesn't do its own short set anymore - straight into the Bruce material with: "Can You Follow?" and then unexpectedly the great songs "Morning Story" and "You Burned The Tables On Me". I wish he would do the whole of 'Harmony Row' live one day (my fave JB album). We also got "Weird of Hermiston"; "Neighbour, Neighbour"; the wonderfully emotive "Child Song" and the inevitable "Spoonful" (where he played with the similar riff from This Anger's A Liar for a while). The bass was loud, proud and hit me right in the gut - which is exactly where it should do!!! Next up we got "Theme For an Imaginary Western" (of course!); followed by (and perhaps not in the right order) "Born Under A Bad Sign"; "Deserted Cities Of The Heart"; "We're Going Wrong"; "Sunshine ..." and "White Room" (with the excellent drum solo). The encore was "Politician". A brilliant set with this band now very tight and even the poor old bass-player allowed to join in more often (he played some great lines on DCOTH)! A wonderful evening and now I have the CD from MK stables to enjoy as well :) ...

Last night at Holmfirth, as someone approaching his 59th birthday, I did something unique by hanging around the back door for an hour hoping to pay my respects to a favourite musician. I am sorry that Jack felt indisposed to engage [a signature would have been nice] but this should not detract from the fact that this was a superb, well paced set from a great band and a great artist. I particularly enjoyed the revisiting of older solo material with a horn section.

Hello Jack: I have been a fan since I was ten years old when I was introduced to Cream by my older brother. After Cream disbanded, I wondered where you went. By chance, I picked up a record called "Colosseum:The Grass is Greener." Here,your old friends John Hiseman and the late, great Dick Heckstall-Smith covered "Rope Ladder to the Moon." Nice Work! I immediately went out and purchased "Songs for a Tailor." I purchased it again in C.D. format. It remains one of my favorite records ever. It's timeless, like you! Jack, please stay inspired and remain in good health. I love you. Sincerely, Greg Twyman

I was in Santa Monica last weekend, and ran across an old Porsche (either a 356 Cabriolet, or possibly a Speedster), with "SWLABR" license plates. And it was Cream-colored, to boot! Made me wonder if the car belonged to Mr. Bruce... As a side comment - as wonderful as Eric Clapton plays on the live "Crossroads" (from Wheels of Fire), Jack's bass playing totally steals the show. Just an incredible performance!

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Jack, cannot thank you enough for so many years of wonderful music you have turned out, not only with Graham Bond and Cream, but especially your solo work. As I am writing this I am listening and watching when you did "Theme" live and dedicated it to Felix before you started. Such a shame he died so young! I dedicated a song once to one of my harmonica idols, Paul Butterfield when I played at Buddy Guy's lounge several years ago in Chicago. You were huge influence also in getting me into harp playing, when i first heard you do "Rollin and Tumblin" on Fresh Cream, and "Traintime" on the Wheels album live, it was awesome, and i have been playing harp now for over 40 years, and I thank you for being an inspiration then and even now. Happy Birthday and have many many more Jack, Bluesman Ron

A very happy birthday to the greatest musician of my generation. A huge variety of great songs and great bands. Looking forward to Specrum Road in Vancouver. Was at Holmfirth yesterday imagining how great it would have been to see you in that venue. Thanks for all the great music !!!!!

Happy Birthday, Mr. Bruce! I just saw the recent documentary about you on You Tube. My favorite parts were when Pete Brown said that you lived and breathed music and when, at the end, you talked about only being really happy when you're performing. This corroborates how I view you - as the embodiment of music. May you always find the next gig. Sheri

Hi Jack, Had the extreme pleasure of sitting right in the front row a little to your left at Perth Concert Hall on Saturday 26th May 2012 for your Big Blues Band gig. (A birthday present from my lovely partner Kate) - As a fellow Glasgow Bass Player, it was a wonderful experience particularly as you were my inspiration for taking up Bass some 30 odd years ago I remember learning all of "songs for a Taylor" note for note when I started out, then hassling successive bands I played in over the years to play "Badge" and then "Born Under a Bad Sign" Being close enough on Saturday to make eye contact with the band was incredible - the best birthday present ever. I'm 'retired' from gigging these days but it's great to see that you are still grooving As the somewhat loud lady half way up the hall said, "we love you Jack" - and yes, there's really no answer to that . . . keep it up (not "Down") Bill

Hi Jack, Yes it's the "loon" from Banff who raised a glass to you on the 28th May in Perth as respect as you came into the venue with your rucksack on your back. I didn't want to hassle you so just gave you a nod & a wink. An utterly AWESOME gig. I loved ALL the old numbers off your solo albums. Honestly i cried when YOU played them live, especially "Theme". Get back with Leslie & Corky for some heavy stuff man. I'll treasure the gig for the rest of my life. Thanks Jack, it was great. Sean.

Jack, Your work has been an ongoing inspiration for me since the early days of Cream. You have offered a very personal testament to the power of music and the importance of the artist in society. You are a rare breed, a divine gift in a world that is growing dark. May you be given the time necessary to complete your mission. Gratitude to you ... and yours.

I just listened to sample clips from the new Spectrum Road album and was blown away! I immediately ordered it from Amazon, and should get it early next week. This seems like the perfect band for you, and I am sure that it's going to be an enormous success. Jack and jazz - what could be better? (Though I am intrigued by "Scottish miserable-ism". Perhaps you're a friend of Phillip Glass? ;-) I will report back when I get my new CD and run it through its paces full blast in my car. Sheri, your fan from the classical side

Dear Jack, just watched the documentary film you did recently and really liked the new versions of some of your greatest tunes. The version of Theme with the strings added was awesome!! Always enjoy listening to stories about the days of Cream with Eric and Ginger, the three of you made such a great contribution to rock and pop music, and influenced so many people in their music, including me!!!

Hi. I'm playing my rock with the band here in Rio, thanks God things go well, a couple of shows, stuff. I had a very very sad moment yesterday, for I lost my beloved and unforgettable mother, she died of complications due to her age (84), but I'll recover. She taught me the rudiments of life, love, friendship, responsibility, gratitude...I'll miss her so much! But I believe in the continued life in another format and I'll keep my faith. I'll never forget you mom!!! It's so hard to say goodbye!!! But no goodbyes for me; and I hope someone else keeps this faith in God I do. And music helps me to carry on. The sadness, blueness will pass on by.

Dear Jack, once Cream did a concert in a little, provinsional town in Denmark. I was there and it was such a great experience to listen to the music and watch you guys on the scene. The audience went all crazy.

To the high priest of post classical music: the depth of character, the impossible inner micro harmonies in vocals combined with passionate comprehensive all-encompassing bass, you are the benchmark for every stream of composition and performance in modern music, entirely in a class of unique excelllence. I recently had the misfortune to witness a pathetic lampoon of "Sunshine of your Love" by Buddy Guy. His arrogance and chronically abherrent perception of unique creativity placed him firmly in the pack of jokers whose composite skills would not equate to Jack Bruce's little finger on the left hand!

Dear Jack It is forty five years since I first saw you with Cream, when you played a Friday night gig at Woodlands Youth Centre in Basildon - February 1967 to be precise. Many years later I spoke with you after a show in Southend in November 2002. You played a set of Cream covers during an evening of heavy rock, which you described as 'not really my cup of tea'. I was most excited when the chance to see you at the Abbeyfest last Sunday came up. During your set I was able to get some very good photographs of you and the band - photography being my proffesion for many years. Although I do other things to earn my living, including music teaching, I love the chance to photograph such events. If anybody is interested in any of my pictures I would be most happy to show them. I spoke later with an old friend, drummer, Paul Francis, who was at the show too (with Bill Wyman) and says he knows you well. So if intersted I can be contacted by email or by telephone on 01621 869566. My best wishes to you Bob Cross

Pollution Woman is a great tune, Mr. Jack Bruce. I purchased 'Why Dontcha'in the fall of 1972 when I used to go out surfing in the winter ,and for whatever reasons this song served to get me 'pumped up'- Is there anywhere I could verify the lyrics; I think I have them right or close enough anyway after all this time. I hope you are in good health. Best regards and thanks for your music.

Just finished your book and as one who has followed your career from the Cream days to the present; I must say the book was an eye opener. I wish you good health and always look forward to new albums and tours. I believe that "Songs for Tailor", changed my musical perspective immensely.

I've been listening to you since Fresh Cream.When I heard that, I went out and bought a bass.45 years later I'm still playing.You have influenced my life musically and thank you for that. Cream has always been my favorite band.If it was'nt for you I would never would have taken up the bass.I gave up fretted basses long ago. I still have a Gibson Thunderbird but I play mostly my Fretless Warwick Corvette standard and some custom fretless basses.Keep on rockin, and God bless you.

You never cease to be an inspiration Jack . You are a musicians musician and have received you fair share of adoration but I doubt that any of us have a clue as to the depth your greatness . You made the bass a legitimate instrument , you were the only rock bassist from the 60's who did it both with flare and extremely good taste . Life owes you the best , never forget that there are many , many of us you never hear from that have the highest degree of respect for you . God bless , C .
