I wish you the best of luck with your health. I can not wait to see you playing in the states again. I Would love to see you do a New studio album. You have been my favorite bass player And My own bass influence since I saw you play in 88. Your solo albums are a bench mark on how to write intresting music with hooks. Not like the slop that EC has been putting out all of these years. EC did pull off the reunion shows rather well though! I think Ginger is completely wrong about your over playing, playing too loud.(Hell the drums are almost allways too loud) It is about time that "US Bass players got our day in the sun"! You are a true innovator in the field of bass playing. May god bless you allways. Thanks for the Great music all of these years.

Hiya Jack the Bruce, Howz my favourite musician doin'? ...Im coming to the UK in JULY so get yer arse into gear and do some club dates(wink) We all have dreams...and one of mine is to see JACK BRUCE LIVE. Och , thanks a mill... on a more serious note: Music is required daily sustenance for me ...I surround myself with it permanently and no other music has spoken to "who i am" like yours has. So thanks for letting your soul talk to mine....they are the best of friends now.!! TICKETS TO WATERFALLS is simply my FAVOURITE piece of music ever. It just fits. The song , the changes , the melody , your voice , the bass-playing , the bass sound , the piano...PERFECTION. JSB would be proud of JSAB (hehehe) Love, Janie xxx

Hello Jack, We have lost our SEVEN MOONS in this country, because Jack HIMSELF is not playing at Astoria 2. 23. May with Robin! We are happy to see Trower Band there but wihout Jack there are not enough moons in the place. Please come to Astoria to the consert. We are five FOOLS coming to London to the consert and The Angry Gorilla, Mr.Hessu, will be very mad if Jack is not in the bar with us at Astoria then. BR:Martti

I just saw on You Tube, your performance of "We're Going Wrong" with solo piano. Had headphones on and it really got to me-I posted my immediate thoughts on an excellent fan-post group, but if you ever read these comments wanted to share as well: Fantastic to have a nicely photographed and edited segment of "Just Jack" in his mood. As I listen with headphones, I am just overwhelmed by the emotion, power and sensitivity of this performance. It has always been a vocal tour de force. I saw Jack at 'The House of Blues' with Vernon Reid (Shadows In The Air) and I really wasn't into the show-it just seemed tired. Then he broke into "We're Going Wrong" and time stood still. I made a mental note to always remember those moments by looking at the ceiling and just imagining the paint coming off from Jack's stunning vibrato. Yes, he did take the paint off the ceiling. And in my mind, and my ears I had never heard a singer with such passion and feeling. So to hear this solo piano performance, it just cuts like a knife. When he sings off key or jazzes out the pitch-I almost want to cry. It is like the Beatles breaking up. Hard to explain. Thanks. Mike in LA

Jack, Excellent work Seven Moons! Just like when I first heard Fresh Cream back in 66 in Germany as a high school student, Cream have been a huge influence in my life and playing, in fact I play bass in a Cream tribute band called Scream but we added a 4th member, a female to sing, she is the "S" of Cream. Always seemed to miss Cream concerts by a day or two or was put on restriction for misbehavior (a typical Army Brat practice) so when I finally got the chance to see the reunion at Madison Square Gardens in 2005 a life long dream was realized and the gig was magic. Thank you and I hope that Cream will be able to perform a West Coast reunion at the Fillmore as this is where it all exploded for Cream. Good health and luck to you always. Love the tones on Seven Moons, keep rockin! Purple

jack, great to see that you've done another album with Robin Trower, your other albums with him were really great. Saw the Cream reunion concewrt on PBS last year, it was super to see you three together again, you have been and always will be my favorite group. I first heard Sunshine in 8th grade, and have enjoyed both Cream's and your solo work ever since. Keep it going and best wishes , hope you tour and hit Chicago or somewhere in Wisconsin. I saw you live at park west in chicago when you toured with clem clemposn and the guys when you did, I've always wanted to do this album. take care and best of luck in year to come. yours truly, ron

Just finished listening to "Spirit", the BBC sessions - in reverse. Fortunate enough to see the 1977 JBB on tour. Disc Three really jogged the cobwebs from my brain. A great live band in top form. God bless you, Jack!!!

As long as I can remember I have tended to prefer music with a more pronounced bass line. That darker sound just magically attracts me in every song. I am therefore incredibly glad that I discovered your music (and that of a certain Mr Entwistle). It enriched my life so greatly, and even though I'm only in my twenties (and sometimes devastated about what I missed out on for so long and what I missed simply because I wasn't born yet), I am sure that this, your music, will stick with me for all my life. I am sure this is not the first time you hear this, but I would regret if I didn't voice my appreciation in any way, so there. My deepest thanks, your work really means a lot to me, and all the best to you!

Hello dear Jack Bruce! I hope the upcoming Hippiefest can bring us the excitement of the expectations of the mid 60s musical experimentations; we here in Rio de Janeiro sincerely hope that your performances there can show some amazing bass solos and piano playing as well - something that remind us of your most recent shows in Frankfurt, and with that sumptuous bass intonation of your already legendary Warwick. We hope shows can be recorded for dvds and cds... Happy birthday! Carlos Bill, 46, bass player, composer.

Hi Jack, I emailed you a couple of years ago and never heard back. To repeat what I said then, I feel we must be related. I'm an American music teacher and scholar, and I've listened to your music since I was 14, almost 40 years ago. I think you're brilliant. I'd love to correspond, if you ever feel so inclined. Best Wishes! Sarah Bruce Kelly

Happy Birthday Jack You might be 65 but please don't ever think of retiring!!! It is also my son's 10th birthday ... a cause for double celebration!!! Love the Seven Moons disc. It's rapidly becoming my most played CD these days. Hope there will be some tour dates announced. Saw Jethro Tull at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall last night. A great gig BTW. During the interval they played a version of "Sunshine" which sounded live and recent and featured a very Ian Andersonesque flute playing the riff. I've not heard this before. Does anybody know where it originates? Have you been jamming with Tull Mr. Bruce? Sounded great anyway! Best regards HSMJ (Ghostmojo)

A very happy birthday, to you, my hero. Since 1983, I have been enthralled by everything asociated with you. Cream, Solo, W,B&L; Super Quartet, etc,etc.. I have watched in awe the life and legacy you have led and created. No one. Absolutley NO ONE on the planet can say they have done what you have done. You created Heavy Metal, the "Power Trio" and Jazz Fusion. But other than that you the MAN, have been an ispiration to me and others around the planet. I owe you a debt, I can never repay. You made the bad times bearable and the good times: Great! I will never forget that. Ever. Thank you, Jack for coming into my life. I love you with all my heart. God bless you and your family. My hero... Simply the world's greatest Musician.

Hello Jack! And so continues my yearly tradition of stopping by and wishing you a very Happy Birthday, on this your 65th, a great milestone! Myself, a bass player for 6 years now, can not emphasize enough how much your music has influenced me! I dont think I would be where I am today if it weren't for you! I hope your 65th is a great one, and perhaps I'll catch you in Philadelphia this summer! Best wishes and keep on rockin'! Kelly

Jack was on BBC Radio 2 last week talking about various things but mainly to comment upon the up and coming 6 disc career anthology box-set, "Can You Follow". He was on good form and in the conversation it became clear this set will cover material from the GBO and Alexis Korner days presumably up to the present day. This sounds like a great release and long overdue. the last serious retrospective was "Willpower" in 1988, although that only covered Polydor-RSO material. I wonder if the new collection will cover all his albums, bands, collaborations and various record labels? If somebody can pull that off it would be a miracle. Does anybody know if it will contain any previously unreleased material? Or is it just a very extensive collection or best of covering what has been afterall a very extensive career? Either way I'm sure it will be a must have and look forward to a track listing.

He was on good form and in the conversation it became clear this set will cover material from the GBO and Alexis Korner days presumably up to the present day. This sounds like a great release and long overdue. the last serious retrospective was "Willpower" in 1988, although that only covered Polydor-RSO material. I wonder if the new collection will cover all his albums, bands, collaborations and various record labels? If somebody can pull that off it would be a miracle. Does anybody know if it will contain any previously unreleased material? Or is it just a very extensive collection or best of covering what has been afterall a very extensive career? Either way I'm sure it will be a must have and look forward to a track listing.

Jack: I'm writing a portion of a screenplay for a movie about Jimi Hendrix. I'd like to hear your account of what discussions occurred regarding you, Tony Williams, Jimi and Miles Davis.

Happy 65th birthday, Jack! Can't wait to see you on the summer hippie tour in Florida...write me before you come, I'd love to meet you finally and shake hands after all these years. Thanks for keeping my picture ("Something old, something new") in Gallery 2, I get nice notes all the time from your site (and work too!)Thanks to Derek the Great as well. I was honored to touch your "Fool" painted bass at the Hard Rock Vault in Orlando about 3 years ago before they closed their doors, I got away with it after being warned I would be arrested...Bollocks! This is freakin' HISTORY, I told the guide....she just looked away, to her credit. Keep going, man!! Paul

Jack, You, Eric Burdon and the others have got fans on the East of the Atlantic too. Bring Hippiefest this side of the watter. At least you and Eric. He should for once get back to that place he had to get outta..., And, if you've the time and energy after that..., you should play at least a few gigs of Seven Moons with RT too. Great recent albums, All the best, Ben

I continue to follow your work and career which never ceases, and also never ceases to excite! We are almost the same age and it has been my life-long dream to develop a rhythm section with anyone remotely approaching your skills... although I continue to try. The opportunity of living your tour and performances vicariously through your diary is genuinely appreciated and a very generous gift of your time imagining what your daily schedule must be like. It's time to stop boring you and simply say, thank you for the enduring gift of your art... it's more valuable than you even know.

Hello, Mr Jack, sincerly since a few months I've known a little about cream, because I'm a little bit younger. Since I saw sunshine of your love and I feel free, I felt something on me, I realized that I have to know more about the band, and thats what I do, and since I saw the videos, I knew that cream has to be one of my fav's bands ever, it's great to see 3 masters of music, specially you Mr. Jack, really shock me, with your bass lines, and the way of playing that amazing instrument, thanks for that great music all of these years, God save to you and your family. Mr. Jack Bruce Rocks!!!

So happy you're in as good health as possible. What a strong person ypu are. Also still laughing ,and amaze), finding out that, in 1947, aged 4, you conducted that orchestra sailing from Europe to the States. Wow. But I'm happiest that I cauught you and your solo bands 45 different times,including the Ringo stuff, the Abbey thingee, and that little Cream soiree in 2005. Just reminiscing here because I get a little twisted when I see the great Jack alingned with much inferior musicians on another Jack Bruce of Cream greatest hits-type thing. But your health, happiness, financial security is of the utmost now. Peace and love.

It seems that you (Jackella) aren't fond of the extended jamming from the Creamsicle days. Having heard many live bootlegs, one has to acknowledge that it must have been a terrible grind on days when perspiration outweighed inspiration. Notwithstanding, you trois managed on many occasions to offer up a welcome serving of in-the-momentness, which is sorely missed. So allow yourself credit.

Hello Jack, Really enjoyed your recent 'Seven Moons' cd with Robin Trower. In fact, I have enjoyed all 3 cd's you two have issued together. Two summers ago, Black Sabbath - with Ronnie James Dio, did a World Tour playing material exclusively from 3 cd's the line-up had recorded together (No Ozzy material). I hope you and Robin consider playing a few dates - with a simular style set list. It would go over very well. Nice to see you come to Canada for the Jeff Healey tribute. He was both unique, and genuine, as a player, and more importantly, as a person. Met him once, when he came to Manitoba, Canada, to play. Gave him an old Blues cd for his radio show. Anyway, if you and Robin do get together, come over to Canada. If not, record a dvd from one of the shows. Best of luck with your summer tour. Regards, Bob Manitoba, Canada

Dear Jack, I'm not sure if you get the chance to read the guestbook much, but I had to let you know what an impact you've had on my growth as a musician. My husband is a bass player and I'm a guitar player and we do perform a few cream songs (we do alot of benefits and non-profits & such). You have broken through the barriers of what music was, and what was expected of a bassist back then, and have still continued to go further on. As much as I hate to say, I'm sorry I'll miss seeing you at the Woodinville Hippiefest for lack of being able to get a ticket. Best wishes for your health, and glad to know you're still rockin' on.
