Very interesting reading the local Essex & Suffolk newspaper article by Jack. The hints for another Cream reunion are tantalising to say the least! Let's hope something transpires ... it would be great to see the three of you guys on stage again. Could we have "Traintime"; "Steppin' Out"; "World Of Pain"; "Dance The Night Away"; "Cat's Squirrel"; "I Feel Free" and "SWLABR" this time around? Thanks. PS - Jack, have you ever thought of bringing keyboards onto stage with Cream? Geddy Lee does this very effectively for some numbers (and Rush resolutely remain a trio) switching between bass and keys as necessary. I know this would have been difficult back in the 60s - but nowadays with ace PA systems etc. - anything is possible. Numbers that might suit it could be "We're Going Wrong" and "Doing That Scrapyard Thing" for starters. Cheers H

Hi Jack !!! I am absolutely glad and happy with the issue of "Can You Follow?". But i think what you need to explain yourself in all your power and glory is a 12 Cd set or even much more. In the maintime, i am afraid because one of your most overlooked works, the AUTOMATIC album, is dreaming in the vaults without a word of rememberings. Without a doubt, the AUTOMATIC album must be the next move on the way. And this is a message for all whom to concern it: Please reissue The Automatic album .... because with Jack "the best is still to come". All my best whises for You, a musician born to make the all four seasons of the word MUSIC.

57 now, I've listened to a lot of good bass playing. BUT - there's only ONE guy that you instantly recognize after two notes and those shivers start racing up the spine every time. You are IT mate, make no doubt about it. Many many thanks for all the pleasure & hope you've given.

Hello Jack, my day simply isnt complete till ive heard your soaring voice or one of your bass riffs.....BUGGER money , my soul is satisfied simply by having my CD collection and iPod jam-packed with 'Jack (The) Bruce'..... Im poppin in to say that I pre-ordered (ka-ching!) and now have 'Can You Follow?'. Aaaawwww Jack , it is SUCH treasure. Till now , my focus was your first three solo albums , CREAM and WB&L - I hadn't heard the Alexis Korner , Graham Bond , Rocket 88 , Tony Williams music . Thanks for filling in the gaps ! I'm so diggin' that DIRTY TASTY R&B of the GBO..what a scrumptious sound....like melted warm dark chocolate ! Of the rest ...'ONE WORD' (LifeTime) , 'AUTOMATIC PILOT' (solo you!), WAITING FOR THE CALL (Rocket 88 - love the double-bass),'MAKE LOVE','THE WIND CRIES MARY' and DAVID'S HARP stand out for me. oh yeah and the bass on Life on Earth (BBM). One notable exclusion tho' is SMILES AND GRINS.Im curious as to why you left it off...? CONGRATULATIONS , SIR - it is a collection of work to be proud of. P.S. Enjoy 'HippieFest' ( or is that 'hip-replace-fest'...ooohh i AM naughty...hehehe) play like the Best in the World AND knock their socks off , eh ??!! P.P.S. I hope that this time you Ginger and Eric do play together again. Janie xxxxxx

You mean Hippiefest is sold out? I'm sure if you get there early in the afternoon you will be able to socialize or even make a sign proclaiming you are a musician and a huge Jack Bruce fan!! Have a great time and hopefully I'll be there too. ---The Phanerothyme Ranger

Absolutely delighted to read the Suffolk and Essex online story "Jack's still Cream of the crop", in which Jack indicates he's meeting up with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker in October. Let's hope these three brilliant musicians decide to share their gift together, either in the form of new music or live performances. Best of luck to you Jack.

Just came across a youtube vid of Jack that looks like it's very, very recent. Very personal. Extremely moving. Just him and his piano(in his home?) doing "We're Going Wrong". Don't make me cry, man. He intros it by saying it's really a guitar song, but..... Luv ya. Make some coin doing Hippiefest then do your GOOD shit with Cucuioland or whomever. Peace.

Jack it was great meeting you and also being fortunate enough to see you perform at the Sound Academy in Toronto earlier this year. I'm a little late to the party as far as learning about your musical journey and influence in the industry, but thanks to the internet I've been able to experience some of your past amazing performances. Wishing you continued success.

The culmination of a dream. Saw J. Bruce, the short version, at a winery near Seattle. Too good to put in words. Always wanted to see Jack in person. Listen to his music every day. A lot fonder of his solo work and contemporary albums then the re-hash of the Cream material, but when dreams become reality in real time, who's to quibble? Nobody better, no artist more passionate about their work. Thank You for continuing to bring your music to us all. TGS

Jack's late mother,Betty,used to babysit me back in 1979. She, I think was in her early 70s and I was 10. I remember her clearly playing me Jack's records and being so proud of her son. Thus the first LPs I owned were Hows Tricks and Disraeli Gears. I now own over 1500 LPs. Although I have never met Jack, I did meet some of his family when Betty took me to Dundee. Betty was a brilliant babysitter but her cat 'Jason' was a pain in the arse. Still following the first musician I ever heard. Love, Richard.

Hi Jack. I sincerely hope that producers become interested in releasing the best moments of your performances in the Hippiefest tour. Did you play at the Dodge? Setlist consists of the more psychedelic songs (Dance The Night Away, As You Said, Outside Woman Blues, Powerhouse Sod, The Doctor, Play With Fire), or the beautiful introspective ones, Into The Storm, One, To Isengard, Smiles And Grins? Bass solos are on the spot? The curiosity about the release of Automatic is great. Any chance? Best as always, Carlos Bill, bass player, composer.

To My Hero,Mentor,&Inspiration:From your #1 Girl bass player fan! Saw you in Concert many times in 60's L.A. Spent HOURS learning every bass note of every Cream song, favorite being your improvisational work on "Crossroads".Still play it on my steering wheel & seat belt while driving. You inspired me to go fretless,& eventually transition to Double Bass.Attended "Hippifest" in San Diego,just to see YOU play again & was not disappointed. You've still got it,man! Incredible chops,even after all these years & all the health challenges.Loved that Bass! What is it? I want one! Hope you read this,so you know how much you impacted one girl's life. Thanks, Michele

Jack Bruce, your no-competition, unique bass solos and husky vocals are the most obvious achievements that you conquered. The piano playing is exceptional and virtuose, but you know more than anybody else, Jack, that your exquisite melodies on the bass gave birth to an intimacy with the more subtle intimacies of the human being. May the record companies launch also more live dvds, of Jack's period with West, Bruce & Laing and Cuicoland Express, or his 1975 time in the band with Mick Taylor and Carla Bley, or the Deutschesland Festival too. My very best wishes ever, Carlos Bill, bassist, composer.

I can say that in my life time I was able to see Jack Bruce live. I am a happy man. Your bass performance was truly jaw opening. You sing better then ever. Thanks again Jack...you know what would make me even more happier?...to see Cream in Toronto sometime down the road... Peace, Tony

Hey, Jack! You were terrific at Hippiefest! Wish you'd been given more time, though, as you take your performances seriously and give your all, which is very much appreciated. The voice is still fabulous and the playing unmatched. Thanks for the great show. We love you in Toronto and appreciate your earlier appearance at Jeff H's tribute, too. Please come back soon (and give us another dose of that Scottish magic!!!) Elaine

Finally, after being a fan for 40 years, I saw Jack Bruce live in concert at Hippiefest. I drove for 16 hours to get to Seattle (and 16 hours back!), but it fulfilled a dream - Jack Bruce, Live, In Concert! Thanks, Jack for many years of inspirational, thought provoking, and enjoyable music. P.S., the rest of the music at Hippiefest was great too.

So excited to see the Hippiefest this Saturday night! I grabbed up Front Row seats when I heard Jack would be headlining. Jack, you are my all-time favorite bassist and your vocals are also superb and amongst my favorites. Can't wait to finally see ya "live"!!!!! Never thought I'd get the chance. Any chance for "Rope Ladder..." or "We're Going Wrong"????????? No matter what you play, I'll be unbelievably happy! Have a great tour, and I'll see ya in 4 days! :-)

Hi Jack, Just a note to say that I've been a fan since 1968. Then living in New Zealand, a friend played me "Disraeli Gears" on my 15th birthday. Like first hearing Bird did for many a budding musician, it changed my life! Ran out & bought it the next day. In the booklet to "Harmony Row" it states that that album is your favourite of all your solo stuff. Mine too. The only time I ever saw you was at the Bracknell Jazz Fest in (I believe) 1979 with Rocket 88. Cheers, Erik.

YOU ARE HOT! Mr. Jack Bruce. Saw you last night At PINE KNOB (aka) DTE Energy Music Theater outside Detroit and I was in the front row one seat to left of your mic. and amp. There you were 3 feet in front me. At one point You leaned over and your wood bass was 6" in front me this very end of "Sunshine" I think ?? 24 hrs. later and I'm still flying high. Pepsi-Cola and you and your music. Playing right in my face .Best high I've ever had. You and your music, every sound from your bass. goes right though my body..What a natural rush. Thank You, Nancy P.S. Love the Shoes :)

I was fortunate to catch Jack in Meadowbrook a couple of days ago as part of his current tour. I had seen Jack before with Ringo's all-Starr band and the Cream reunion at MSG. However, this performance was special. Jack opened with "As you said" performed solo on acoustic. Great stuff! Given the time limitations, Jack did not perform any of his solo material (I would have liked to hear Rope Ladder, for instance). However, he was in fine form, ripping some exceptional bass riffs and a strong voice, to boot. It was gratifying to see Jack's health appears well, his recent illness not impacting one iota on his performance. A night I will always remember. Long life, Jack!

Just thrilled to have seen you at Bethel Woods, the site of the Woodstock Festival! We could hear your bass starting 'Sunshine of Your Love' (soundcheck)as we sat on the patio having lunch. Hope you had a chance to see the museum- it's a real trip back to a special time. You amazed me at the MSG in NYC, but this show was so much more. You touched my heart, really. Thanks for sharing your gift with us all. Peace and love!

Hello Jack, I'm an avid fan since the mid-60s. SFAT and HR set me on a musical path which I tread still - thanks. May I just point out that 'Born to be Blue' (TWL) is a Mel Thorme compositions ? Despite such pendatry, I'm deeply grateful for the creative light you've shed on my life and my own musical path. Grady

Hippiefest was a sensational delight. Saw you with Cream at MSG in 2005 but was so far back. I don't know why but I didn't know you were going to be at Hippiefest until I heard Sitting on Top of the World while sitting outside on a bucket. Wanted to buy a ticket, but the ticket booth was closed, so I took my life in my hands and climbed over the chain link fence. At 46, not the smartest move. No worries I made it with no injuries. I danced with happy tears in my eyes to White Room. I'm going to ask my boyfriend to take me for my birthday to the Jeff Healey Benefit. Keep on Rockin', PLEASE!

I was thrilled to meet you after the show..and it was my lifetime dream come true to meet you , take a photo with you and give you a big hug and kiss! I hope it wont be too long till you come back again Jack...just cant enough of YOU.. your songs, singing, bass playing and your humour. you are a legend..and i feel so blessed to have seen you in the early years and still have the priveledge of seeing you today! come back soon Jack. much love from nyc karla marie xoxoxoxoxox

Hello Jack, This is David Colister, of Cleveland, Ohio USA. I'm honored to leave a note in your guestbook, and to say that you have been a major musical influence on me; although I play guitar and not bass. I'm 44 years young now, and at age 14 I bought a well worn copy of "Disraeli Gears" at a neighborhood rummage sale for fifty cents - simply because I dug the psychedelic album cover art and collage of you, Ginger and Eric wearing those cool outfits in all of those pictures on the back! But when I listened to the record I was instantly transformed into a serious musician. As taken as I was by Eric's lead guitar playing and "woman tone", it was your bass grooves and melodies, your superlative vocals and harmonies, and your songs which contributed most to my enduring magical impression of Cream, and of your amazing legacy of work in the ensuing years. I was fortunate to meet you and chat for a few minutes in Las Vegas, when you played Calamity Jane's, with Ginger, Bernie Worell, and Blues Saraceno. I was playing guitar in union bands in Las Vegas at the time with all of the big name casino entertainers and singers, and skipped out "sick" from my second show gig with the band at Caesar's that evening to catch your show. Eric was also playing in town then, at the Aladdin, and of course with Cream reunion rumors continuously swirling we hoped for some unannounced magic that night... we got it, from what you and Ginger were throwing down. I'm elated to discover this website and to see you are as busy as ever making great music and playing great bass. Additionally, I enjoyed your new website immensely, Jack! Great news, photos, and graphics, plus the accessible links and information are user friendly and easy to read. If you ever need a show or tour poster or art done, especially for a Cleveland or San Francicso show, let me know and I'd be honored to do one. I am a published poster and graphic artist, specializing in highly detailed, time consuming pen and ink art. I am well known as an artist in San Francisco with the Free Press, and my art is reminiscent of the styles of Griffin, Mouse, Kelley, and Crumb, but with more detail and symmetry. I create very interesting lettering and logo designs too, all hand drawn. I will be happy to send you examples. Thank you for all of the great music over the years, Jack! I hope to meet you again sometime or do some art for you. Yours truly, David

Hello Jack!! Your music, lyrics, and vocals have been an ongoing inspiration for me, a drummer-vocalist, since I first heard Disreali Gears in junior high school. It's been about four years since I responded to an ad that read, "Eric Clapton looking for Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker". I'm proud to say that I'm in an amazing tribute to the music of CREAM. Sincerest thanks and gratitude to you and I wish you the best of health...please continue to rock on!

Dear Mr.Bruce, I am a big fan of your music. I really like your bass tone on the old cream live records. I have a question. What electronics modification did you make on your EB-3 bass? and what pickup did you use on that records. Did you use the bridge pickup or neck pickup or did you blend the two?. I can not find this info on the gear section of this site. I also have an EB-3 myself. I am really curious about how you made that tone and hope you can anwer my question. Thanks, Barend

Jack, I bought Disraeli Gears in 1967 on vinyl and just recently bought the CD. About a month ago I saw a comment by you in our local newspaper. Someone asked you whether Cream would have another tour. According to the paper you said something like, "What do I know I'm just the bass player" Well Jack, you are more than the bass player, you represent the fourth instrument in a 3 piece power trio. You're singing to Cream is Jim Morrison's singing to The Door's sound. It wasn't apparent to me when I was a kid listening to Cream in the late 60's but its clear to me today your voice is a musical instrument. You can sing it all, I don't know the terms but the range is there the tone is there and the bravado is there. So IMO without Jack there is no Cream-really. You're the best, Blair

Hello Jack. Your new album, Seven Moons, with Robin Trower was just what the doctor ordered. bare to the bone, back to the basics with a twist thrown in for good measure! You guy's have a great chemistry going on as always, but this outing, to me was your beat. Would love to hear that you and Robin would consider touring. Is this a possibility? Thanks and good luck to you .

Greetings, just wanted to share with you that a couple weekends ago I was a dinner guest at the home of Margaret and Henry Grimes, one of the all-time great bassists who has played with everyone from Benny Goodman to Cecil Taylor and Albert Ayler, Miles, Trane, Monk, Rollins, Ornette, Cherry, Mulligan. . . . I'd brought a copy of Jack's "Things We Like" album, which Henry also liked -- very much! We listened to it 5 times over! One of Henry's comments: "He's really playing . . . there are a lot of bass players but he's really playing . . . there's a difference, you know." Hats off to Jack Bruce and Henry Grimes!

Hi Jack: I really hope that Cream will be reunited again. I missed the last time you where together, but if you get together again I am not going to miss it. When you talk again with Eric, ask him how about of movie of his life. Do he accept invitations to share his testimony with God in Churches, and how about a Gospel DVD. Thank you, bye and God Bless you and keep improving your health.

Hi Jack, I've been a fan of yours for years . A fine strong voice and impeccable bass playing - as Ginger once said "Jack's a f**king good bass player". I could drone on about Cream but I expect you're sick to death of talking about that group. How did you come to get involved with Carla Bley and her masterpiece "Escalator over the hill?" That album was a monumental piece of work - for the amount of work that went into it, you almost feel dutybound to listen to it. Great stuff, and as usual, you played a blinder. All the best, Jim Pike
