Hi Jack! I have been waiting awhile to get a large flatscreen home theater to play your 2005 Albert Hall DVD in 5.1...what a treat to see all three of you blokes tearing it up....I remember a friend said in 1972 that someday we would be able to watch concerts on "huge TV's" with stereo sound with cameras up on stage...we all thought that was crazy...haha...thanks for the great tunes!

Sorry to see that Jack cancelled his dates in NYC this weekend ... first I had tickets for Jack at the Stone Pony ... then was going to catch him at BBKings ... I want to send out my best wishes, and hope that he's feeling ok! I first saw Mr Bruce in 67, again in 68, and at then at the end of Cream ... then at the Cream reunion show at MSG in 2006 ... HE BLEW ME AWAY - he hadn't lost a step! Couldn't resist so I made it up to Woodstock last summer to catch him as part of Hippiefest08. Jack Bruce STILL rules!! Get better soon ... and please come to NYC to do those shows! :) DrB

Jack, I was planning to go see you at BB Kings tonight and was sorry to hear that you had to cancel, wish you a speedy recovery. I am sixty years old, and Cream was my favorite band and I can remember how bummed out I was when I found out they broke up. Your music is timeless and I have always said, man for man, Cream was the best band ever. I used to work for Columbia Records in the seventies,so I got to see the music business from different prospective. I also got to see one of your reunion shows at Madison Square Garden and I have to tell you it was one of the highlights of my life, I had goosebumps all night. I have always told everyone that I considered you at the top of the list for vocalists and bass players and I have always felt you did not always get the recognition that you so justly deserved. I am glad to see you are playing with Robin Trower again, he is one of my all time favorites and will look forward to getting the new album. Well, take care and hopefully you will make it to NYC again soon.

Dear Mr. Bruce--On the Seven Moons CD, which I dug a lot, like original Cream, I noticed you and Trower both had invitations to communicate. I sent a letter to Trower (right in in good ol L.A.) and never heard a thing back. I just like your style, Jack, and Trower's too, and have seen you both live. Good stuff--no fooling around, because you both take your music seriously, and have both been trailblazers. Please Keep on keeping on! Thanks for listening. John DeLaney

I just heard Jack's work on Charlie Mariano's disc "Helen 12 Trees" from 1976. I was blown away, this is some of the best sounding and beautiful "Jazz" I have ever heard! If you enjoy jazz or "fusion", do yourself a big favor and track this recording down. The disc itself is an import that has been carefully remastered and packaged in a really good looking heavy paper mini-album fold out. Jack' bass playing has never sounded better, and his collaboration with musicians such as Jan Hammer (Mahavishnu Orch.) and John Marshall (Soft Machine) take an exciting direction, taking us to places that "fusion" rarely visited. Enjoy!

Great website. I've been to Eric's and Ginger's but yours is by far the best. Great Cream photos. Several I hadn't seen before. Been enjoying your music since before Cream. Listened to "Songs for a Tailor" (2003 remastered CD version - I have the LP - bought when it came out in '69) the other day and it still sounds as fresh as it did 40 years ago (has it been that long?). That "Seven Moons" album with Robin is an amazing piece of work. Get well soon, Jack.

Dear Jack Bruce, I wish you a good, quick recovery and that you and your family can enjoy days and weeks of peace, poetry and health. Happiness and warm thoughts are good 'medicine' in many cases. By the way, your performances with Gary and Robin have proved to be far beyond many expectations; it is in the field of excellence, almost as in older days. We all hope live cd and dvd at least can be selling the sooner possible. All the very best wishes, Carlos Bill, bass, composition.

Greetings Jack, I just wanted to be sure I got my Happy 66th Birthday wish out to you in time this year. I was really hoping to wish you an early Happy Birthday greeting in person at Foxboro, MA at the April 8th ShowCase live show, but unfortunately your mini-USA tour cancelled. More so, I sure hope you're feeling better as your health is far more important to me than anything else. I'm certain the ALL your fans agree with me when I say we ALL hope you re-visit the idea of touring again, SOON, especially in or around the Boston, MA area. I was really looking forward to seeing you and Godfrey crank out all the Jack Bruce classics. Godfrey most definitely knows your music and provides an outstanding partner for you on stage. Although if I had my wish, I'd love to witness a West Bruce & Laing re-union tour more than anything, with a new WB&L CD release to follow. But honestly, I'd be happy to be able to see you play live at least one more time (more of course would be better). Have a GREAT 66th birthday celebration and best wishes again to you and your wonderful family. Allan p.s. Did Godfrey e-mail you the portrait tattoo I had done of you on my left thigh (cover pic from the Cities of the Heart Limited Edition CD)? If so, how did you like it? Peace

Curt Schwebs' comments above are worth repeating. 2009 is the 40th anniversary of the release of Jack's first solo album and what a corker it was. This is worth celebrating. There really should be some repackaged (Universal Deluxe?) version of "Songs For A Tailor" put out to commemorate things. However, given it has already had the upgrade with extra tracks & sleeve notes etc., it would be hard to think what to add ... but there must be something.

Hi! I and my wife Beth wish you a Happy Birthday! If you just think of EVERYTHING that your incredible skills on bass and songwriting and performances in general have reached...you'll sincerely come to the point where you'll see that not even a single note is necessary anymore to prove anything to the world, if you know what I mean. Just remember when Eric Clapton almost quit the music world in mid 70s...people said that "after Cream, if he so had decided, to stop playing...world could have been amazed by his feats, that would be enough"...well I guess it's a similar situation with you. Just keep on playing, recording, performing, but be sure that your innovation in melody, rhythm, harmony is quite done and obvious. Go ahead!!!!! A nice recovery, a happy day tomorrow and ever!

Started thinking about how much I have loved your music ,voice ,words ...since at least the late sixties...had some influence too undoubtebly! . I got home , got on to your 'site'and discovered it is your birthday tomorrow.

I was at messiaenfestival.com a couple of months back, and who should I see in a video interview but you! I was delighted, and was transported to my days as a 12 year old girl whose first popular music passion was Cream. At about that time I was also listening to Glenn Gould play Bach's Preludes and Fugues from the Well Tempered Clavier, and was struck by the contrapuntal feel of what you were doing with your vocals and bass. It seemed to me that there was the same strong feeling of melody rooted in harmony, and I loved the undertow of your bass lines as juxtaposed against the soaring quality of your vocals. God? Well, Dionysus, certainly. After seeing you on the Messiaen site, I went to youtube and spent an afternoon watching videos from your Grahm Bond days to your Cream days to your post-Cream days. I followed some links and landed on your site, and since then have visited regularly. I recently brought you up to some friends in my classical music circle, and you might or might not be surprised to know that you have quite a few fans from that realm. I, for one, would love to see you rework that string quartet from your teen days, or do a fusion opera that draws upon the creative life you experienced while in the hospital. I do hope you're recovered from your recent illness, and most of all, happy, happy birthday!

Jack, Sorry to hear you've been having issues. I look forward to the next possible show. I have to listen to some Jack everyday, whether it's Songs for a Tailor, Harmony Row or Things We Like to Cream and up to Seven Moons. Come back to Connecticut! I remember seeing you in Willimantic around '73 or so. The Shaboo has long gone, but I'll never forget that show. Montezuma Hall at San Diego State, Toad's Place in New Haven, Mohegan Sun with Ringo.... Just get better and play New England, please! John

I just saw your DVD of the Cream reunion concerts at Royal Albert Hall in 2005. I enjoyed it immensely and will savor playing it many more times in the future. A sincere thank you for all of the great music that you have shared with us.

My Dear Sir Jack, Upon reflection of the day of your Birth, it behooves me to tell you that I, for one, or maybe 1 and a Half, are glad that it took place, even though I'm sure you don't remember because, alas, you were SO young!! Most Sincerely, I harken back to the memory of our Dinner together, with my long-time Compatriot, Dave Stoltz, with whom I've played since Elementary School,(no, not that way, you scoundrel!)and Bruce Gary, who I would see frequently after that evening, especially at the NAMM Shows. I loved his energy, as I do yours, and you and I had played together that afternoon of the dinner, so the memories are most special to me. When one is a Focus for Change, as you have been, the responsibility of Loving comes along with it, and we have all shared that love since that time. I thank you for it, and special thanks goes to your Mum, who, most assuredly, has done exceptionally good work. Warm Regards, ROB THE DRUMMER robthedrummer.com

I have been listening to Cream since last fall. I love all the Cream albums, and I had bought a couple Jack Bruce songs on Itunes. I loved them both, and I decided to buy Songs For A Tailor. I ordered it about 10 weeks ago, and it came last week. All I can say is that, it was worth the wait. It is one of my favourites, if not my favourite. Thank you for the great music.

PS Looks like the birthday greeting sent didn't get to you Jack on the 14th ,in it I let you know that was going to play all day & into the night with your music (GBO to Seven Moons) emanating from my Klipsch Heresys.A young neighbor who happens to be a composer & multi-instrumentalist ,knocked on my door frantically asking "who IS that"? I wound up lending him Songs for a Tailor , Harmony Row & Senen Moons the next day . Now I can hear him playing his favorites .You live Jack .Forever Bruce!

I made a visit into the city yesterday - not something I do very often these days, whereupon I was stopped in the street by an affable young guy who turns out to be a charity worker. The guy had a strong Scottish accent. I asked him - "You're from Scotland aren't you?" To which he replied "Yes I am". He then asked - "Who's your favorite Scotsman?" I thought for about half a second then said "Jack Bruce!" All I got then was a blank expression, then - "whose Jack Bruce?" I said "You know - Cream!" -"Huh?" "You know- Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker!!!" " Oh yes now I know - that's a bit before my time!" Probably just another one of those trivial encounters , but I was a little bit surprised that here was a Scotsman didn't know who Jack Bruce was. It probably had a lot to do with his age. Mine as well.

Loved getting the chance to see you last summer at Hippiefest here - would LOVE to see you and Robin Trower. Hope you rest and recover. We love your music Jack and I, for one, am so greatful for all the joy your music has brought me and so many others. Interesting how music becomes intertwined with so many memories and occasions. There are pop musicians and then there are artists - thank you for offering so much so artistically and with an enormous integrity. Get well!

I think I'm still peaking from the show last summer in Woodinville, Wa. at Ste. Michelle Winery. Or am I still high from all 3 Cream '05 MSG shows!!! Anyways, you must return at once to the Seattle area with your fabulous new fury 3 piece and keep me in the stratosphere. Maybe a double-bill with John Fogerty!!!!!

Mr. Bruce, I just like to thank you for being so commited with the relevance of your work. I'm passing through some kind of a hard time with my baby boy going on a kidney surgery and the one thing that keep me smiling and feeling good in this moment was listening to your show in Birmighan last year. Again, thank you very much for never quit on music. Alexandre Machado, a brazilian fan.
