"Wheels of Fire" is a great album. Jack's lyrics and music helped me through lonely times and painted visions in my head. "As You Said" is such a trippy song. Having met a Scottish lassie only added to the the endless want. i was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind and key of harmonica Jack used when he jammed "Traintime" on "Wheels of Fire". Thank you, Donald

I did not know about your desease, I am a big fun of you. I play the bass, guitar and keyboard. also I sing my own music in a trio, just like CREAM. I know how hard can be being in contact with you. Please remember that I am writing from a little country called CHILE, in South America. Here there is so much people who like your music, specially when you were one CREAM. Don't forget that, forgive me for my english, thank you for your music.

Jack,how about an autobiography that tells the real story of your years in the music business, personal life experiences and observations of a period in history that affected so much of pop culture. From jazz to Scotland-and everything in between. Please get it down on paper, or disc-so that we have a record of your life and the times you influenced in such a major way.

Jack Bruce. Where do we start. The man that RULES the bass and still does.
Cream was just the best. He early solo stuff was just as great. I owe alot to Jack. His music made me who I am. Thanks for all the great music, man. Don't ever stop !!

Dear Jack
I found your site while I was doing a Google search for the greatest rock guitarists and thought I had to write. As much as I hate when "old" people proudly (or sympathetically) state their age, I'm 55 and wanted to let you know that Cream was an inspiration to me when I was at Uni doing architecture.
I was a lad from the country and had my first taste of new music as a big Beatles fan, then got exposed to very different music when I hit the big city. Cream really hit a nerve for me and I couldn't believe that 3 guys could make so much sound.
I played "Spoonful" so many times and was inspired by how you all seemed to go off on your own tangents, do your own virtuoso things then it all came back together for "the finale". I think I even started to appreciate bass guitar through that piece of music. To me it was enormously creative and obviously because I liked it so much, it has a similarity to what I like to do in my architecture -a sense of chaos, but with an underlying structure and pattern (not always obvious to the untrained eye/ear).
When I found this site, I was shocked to hear that you had had a liver transplant. I went to a concert in Perth a few years back where the Bill included Roger Daltry, Peter Frampton (big fan of his), Gary Brooker etc, etc and one of the main people I went to see was Jack Bruce - and he didn't appear!!!! That really took away a lot from the concert and I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that a few people around me said "Where's Jack Bruce?" I thought I'd be the only old bastard to know who you were!! I guess the liver transplant explains your absence.
Something I've got into in recent times is how wonderful live DVD's are to display the talents of artists and one I've got is David Gilmour's. I love seeing guys of my vintage displaying how brilliant they are and have said a few times to my kids "Take a look at that guy, if you passed him on the street, what would you think?" I then suggested "Would you just think he's an older generation guy? Check out his talent" and hope that it gets through that they shouldn't take people of the older generation for granted. Believe me this is not a preachy thing, hopefully it's an awareness thing which will help them.
Enough rabbitting on, one request which no doubt has crossed your mind - if you're up to it - why not do at least a one off live concert with Ginger and Eric where you do your great numbers (definitely an extended version of Spoonful). I've seen so many reformations of groups recently and they've performed extremely well (the concert for George Harrison - wonderful and very touching, especially with his cloned son - that was spooky). All I ask is a one off to put on video the talent you guys have (there is almost nothing on video/DVD from your heyday). You deserve the chance to immortalise yourselves. I'd be very surprised if you didn't play and sing as well (it's amazing how powerful adrenaline is :-) ).
So there's my request and my tribute - I hope you think about the former and enjoy the latter.
Frank Young
PS Another connection - I was born in Scotland and although I feel very Aussie, I still feel a tie to Scotland and am proud to admit to my Scottish heritage.

Hello there Jack. Just to say that I think you are the best bass palyer in the world and certainely have been an influence on my playing. "Sunshine Of Your Love" is the best song in the world in my opinion. I think Cream was an excellent group as well. I recently went to see Eric who I think is the best musician in the world and also Nathan East is a great bassist. It would be great if yourself Eric and Ginger got together to peform six one-off concerts at the Royal Albert Hall or something.

Jack you are an inspiration to me !! You probably get this all the time but, I have dedicated my life to being a musician because of the music of your era. Cream is one of my biggest influences and I even bought a bass in hopes to pull off those runs in Crossroads. Still working on it...

Hi Jack!
Somehow I've known you quite some time. Were but a teenager, when I first listened to "I feel free" and "Tales of Brave Ulysses", which turnes my head completely and made me and a couple of friends go see Cream live in Copenhagen. Since those days I've been hooked! For many years now (long time before the e-mail came around) I've wanted to tell you how your work has been inspiring me, and how great an impact your singing has made on me - like no other vocalist. Saw you last time in Copenhagen autumn 2001 - what a pleasure!! That's pretty much what I like you to know. Your integrity and devotion has been setting a standard to which I´ve always been referring, whereever I was engaged.
My best wishes for a long, productive future Jens

Was reading a Clapton interview in current issue of Guitar Mag (or some such), and he absolutely shat on Cream's live rendition of Crossroads, saying he was out of synch with "1" during his second guitar solo and other disparagements. No word on the contributions of Jack & Ging.
Is this guy a jerk or what?

Dear Jack,
happy birthday and all the best for you and your family. My wishes come with all my heard, besause your music has always meant so much to me most time of my life and has given me so much pleasure. (My absolut favorit is still „Harmony Row“. I have seen you several times on stage – the first time in 1972 in Frankfurt with Graham Bond, John Marshall, Chris Spedding and Art Themen, last time was in Mainz near Frankfurt about three years ago.)
Many thanks for all, good luck to you and I hope to see you soon on stage again.

Am I the first to wish Jack a happy birthday? - 61 today and decidedly still rockin'........long may you continue to do so sir!
It's actually also my son's 6th birthday today so it's easy for me to remember both.
For British viewers it is also apparently Eric's birthday too...
No - not that one!
The great and sadly missed comedian Eric Morecambe of course (or so my diary's useful daily event says here).
I hope the recovery is continuing well Jack, and I look forward to your return to recording and performing.

I am 15 years old and I have been a huge fan of Cream for a couple years now. I just wanted to tell you that you still have one of the greatest voices I have ever heard, and your influence as a bassist is still being felt today. I have a band of my own, and we do primarily blues-rock. As a matter of fact, the first song we ever played together was Sunshine Of Your Love. I am a guitar player and of course Eric is one of my idols, but I am just as much influenced by what you and Ginger did also, both with Cream and in other musical pursuits.
Anyway...happy birthday and best wishes!

Jack,
Your work is OUTSTANDING! I was reminded of this fact upon finding your website and playing the snippets from your solo albums.
So POWERFUL!!
I think Sting should pay you a royalty for every recording he sells.
Also, STELLAR work in "Cream". (understatement) You guys influenced a gangly fourteen year old kid (me) to fall in love with music and take up the guitar.
I still play for a living today at age 48.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for helping me find my life's work.
Get well, Jack. You mean much more to us than you'll ever know.

Jack, old boy, are you really sixty one? Well my old friend you make sixty one look pretty damn good! I have noticed a strong directness to your voice in the past few recordings. No doubt about it! Your voice has a stringth these days that is nothing short of operatic. As I said to you once before, even the best of your music will not surpass what you are about to do. Do it for yourself, do it for your familey, or the rest of us but do it! I await your next masterpiece.

I have been a Cream aficionado since I was in high school so when I found that Jack Bruce had many solo albums I just had to check them out. What I found was truly amazing inspirational music. What I heard blew me away because of how different it sounded not only from music of its own time but from todays music as well. Jack Bruce has demonstrated a unique quality that only the most brilliant musicians have, which is the ability to surpass his own best to continually reach new levels of musical and artistic greatness. Thanks for the inspiration Jack and keep those great songs comin'

Hi Jack,
I first heard your music rather late in life - 10 years ago at the age of 34 - introduced by my husband-to-be who's a bit older and a longstanding fan. Wish I'd heard you sooner but it was all classical music in my early years (sound familiar?) and so I missed out on a lot of good stuff in the 60's! I now have a 15 year old son, Adam, who is learning to play bass and for whom you are a role model, as Ginger Baker was for my husband with his drumming. I was hoping you might play at the Scribbler's Picnic but realise now that that isn't possible - so I'll just have to hold out for next year!! It has been good to visit your website. Love,
Jenne

Happy birthday wishes to you from Texas! Life must be very rich and sweet when you've looked at death in the face and lived to sing about it. I am 51 and have enjoyed your music since Cream days. I still remember first seeing you perform at the Music Hall in Houston in 1970 when you were touring with "Jack Bruce and Friends" after the release of Songs for a Tailor. Your recent music is wonderful and your band kicks ass! My life has been greatly enriched by your music. I look forward to your future work with great anticipation. If you ever get to the states to tour again, I would travel a good mile to witness your resurrection in the flesh. Keever Wallace

Congratulations on your birthday and on your continued recovery. We need you back in the studio and on the road, man. I saw Clapton at Newcastle Arena 2 weeks ago: what a flat show, no atmosphere and he didn't acknowledge the crowd once, only playing 2 encores and leaving without playing a further 4. And the point? Well - I've seen you play 5 times in the last 4 years and EVERY time you played and sang with great enthusiasm and like you were 25 years old. Couldn't fault your talent of course, and your attitude was even better. After waiting 26 years for a Cream re-union I've finally realised what I suspected for too long - that you're the driving force and frankly Eric and his laid-back approach just doesn't deserve you! So keep the Bruce flame burning and make sure you keep rocking.

Happy Birthday Jack! Being a bassist myself, your music and awesome standard of playing have been a major influence. I think I practically bumped in to you a couple of times when I used to shop in sudbury Somerfields years ago and never had the courage to tell you - (you are a rock god afterall!!!)that your song writing and playing leaves me awestruck! How do you always produce such surprising and challenging stuff? Keep writing / playing (and stay well!)

Hi, Jack! You and Chris Squire are the best bass players in the world, in my opinion. When will you come here, in Brazil? I would like very much see you playing your bass in Rio de Janeiro. I play bass guitar too and the Cream records are my favorites. I have an Epiphone EB-3 bass (unfortunately, I don't have a Gibson EB-3 bass guitar). I am looking for your new record ("More Jack than God"), but here, in Brazil, we have some dificulties to find some records. I like West, Bruce & Laing very much too and I have some records of them. Thank you for you attention and we are waiting your visit here. Regards.

I was fortunate to have caught CREAM on their first tour of the US at the Murray the "K" show in NYC. Never before was there such powerful music that the seats vibrated. While I was familiar with Eric Clapton from his Yardbird days, I always considered Jack to be the heart of the band. I still consider "Songs for a Tailor" to be one of the finest albums ever. Not bad when you're supported with the likes of Jon Hiseman and Dick Heckstall-Smith. Thank You.

Happy Birthday, Jack!
I'm only 51 (saw you in Detroit 30 some years ago-a great memory), and I nearly died 2 years ago from a fungus in my head. At each day's end I now look back at the wonders I received that day. Sometime's it's just a child's eyes, or a black bird's song. I treasure things more. Make sure I really see them, hear them, feel them - storing them up as complete memories. I'm so glad you've survived , too, and I hope you'll have ever so many more birthdays, all more fun than the last. XOX Karin Sue Hoppe Holloway

Jack,
Your'e the reason I started playing Bass in and around Glasgow when I was 16.
Now 49 years old and gigging in and around Glasgow and various Blues festivals with Blues-Rock Band "Roost" I am still inspired by Jack Bruce on a daily basis, as indeed I know many others on the Glasgow Blues and Rock scene are.
At a recent gig in Glasgow's "Rockers" I changed the EQ setings on my "Hartke" to emulate the "Growling" punchy "Middle" - type sound that's so much a Jack Bruce trademark.
Just as a "One Off" and as a tribute to the great survivor of our times you understand, but to great effect.
Thanks for everything.
Love and best wishes.

Hi Jack,
I'm a first-time visitor to your website, but your music has always been a source of great inspiration to me -- probably one of the main reasons why, at the rebarbative age of 50, I have the nerve to be setting up my own recording studio to immortalize some ditties (were I a painter, I would call them "daubs") of my own.
By the way, I'm in the process of ordering an Epiphone Elitist EB-3 bass, one of the chief recommendations for which was that it was "made famous by Jack Bruce".
It's good enough for me.
Wishing you all the best,
Jeffrey Pierce

Dear Jack,
first time finding you in internet I will send you my best wishes for the future. You must know that you was it who made me loving the bass! Since the late 60’s I always listen in every piece of music for the bass! But at least I reached to buy me a bass in 1997 - when I was 49 years old! In between I own three basses and two amps with one speaker. But sadly this don't mean that I can play really the bass. There's less of time to learn powerfull.
Hope, you will do some concerts here in Germany in the next time.
Good luck and best wishes!

I have just recently been given a pirate copy of songs for a tailor and was so impressed that I went straight out and bought a legit copy and also got harmony row at the same time, honest, i'kept the reciept in case you send the music polis to my door. I first heard songs for a tailor when i was about 18, some 30 odd years ago. I cant believe that i left it so long to get into jack again but i have been side tracked by the works of E.L.P especially Greg Lake whose voice, bass playing and lyrics I thought were and still are incredible but at the moment all i can play is J.B i.e when you awaken at 5.00am, go down stairs slap on the headphones and play songs for a tailor before going to work, i think that classes you as an admirer of the man (or a looney).Remember, nae polis, rock on Jack, best wishes, gordon the biker.

Hope you're OK, first picked up on you at the age of 11. (1972),heard you'd been in some band called Cream, found you were playing with Carla Bley etc, then saw you with Charlie Watts at Bracknell 1979 playing a double bass. Great musical education for any teenager. When I was young I didn't realise rock musicians could actually play Jazz! Saw Jeff Beck last week at the Apollo in Manchester do some amazing stuff, a week from his 60th birthday. Any chance of a gig there sometime with one or two special guests?

I just wanted you to know how important you are to the history of music and not just popular music either. Not just to me personally thought you are a major influence to me. I've seen you perform many times. Anyway If you want to look at what happened for me take a look http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/PHILJANET/philcomp.html

No - Hendrix invented the stuff although Pete Townshend might disagree!!!!
A fan of JB for nearly 40 years - Cream are the only intacto(all still alive) great band/only band of the later 60's as far as I am concerned - can they not create the magic once more for us all? The heart and soul of the band was JB.

If it was'nt for a mate called Bladesy I would never have heard of Jack Bruce and never have fallen in love with your style of bass playing.You've made your mark in this life, and on Me.
