Hey Jack, It's me, Eric Stuart (the guy that opened solo acoustic for the 1997 Ringo and His All-Starrs tour.) I'm currently touring with your fellow all-starr, Peter Frampton (who produced my album). Hope all is well with you. Getting the change to share the stage with you was one of the greatest moments of my life. You are truly a legend and a gentleman. Hope we run into each other again. Eric.

Well we got our tickets to see Jack in March, 2000. I can't believe my dream in life is going to come true. It's disappointing though, to see Jack's name last on the newspaper ad and to see him listed on the net as the voice of Cream. It just goes to show - the better you are the less credit you get. The world's greatest bass player and that's how they list Jack Bruce. I agree with Phil Watson - hope you can do some solo performances in Sydney Jack. Regards Marc.

Hello! I just write to say I enjoy this site very much every time I enter here. Although I am young and I do not belong to the Cream generation, I love Jack Bruce`s music (both when he played with Cream and his solo career music). And the All Starr Band`s concert in Moscow was really worth seeing! I was there and this is the best experience I have ever had. Certainly JB was the best there. I would like to know JB`s attitude to his Rusian fans. Could he write his opinion on this site? I would be so thankful to him! Affectionately yours, dear Mr. Bruce,

If the Jack Bruce biography has been called off by Miller Freeman Books, why doesn't Jack release his own autobiography, comprising information and photos from this web site. There's tons of great stuff in Jack's Diary, Equipment, Biography, Discography and photos from his gallery. More recent photos and info from his diary could be added at the end - just before publishing. I'd buy two copies - one for the home and one for when I'm at work, Why not? - Marc.

I just want to thank you Jack for being a very big influence on my playing! I now play with blues guitarist Debbie Davies (she used to tour with the late Albert Collins, and was once with Maggie Mayall & The Cadillacs), having a blast touring all over the world! I used to sit in front of the stereo figuring out every note and nuance from every Cream song. Especially the live volumes where you could pan the balance control to hear just your bass. The way you sang and played simultaneously on the live version of the song "Spoonful" especially blew my mind!! I would love to find out what techniques, if any, you've used to improve your singing and playing simultaneously? I've been playing bass for over 20 years now and am quite accomplished, but still have some difficulty with this! I bet you'll say "practice makes perfect"! Any other advise on this perhaps? BASSically yours, Alan J. Hager (Debbie Davies Band)

I didn't know whether it's a result of OZ Brucer's lobbying for Jack to tour or a straight out management decision but it's going to be great to see Jack perform in the great southern land of Australia,I hope there is some latitude in the show for Jack to do a good few numbers.I know most people remember Jack for his Cream efforts but there a lot of fans who would like to hear more than Sunshine of Your Love,White Room or I Feel Free.Ausralian audiences (at gigs like this )love to rock so what about something maybe a little more obscure but non the less raunchy like WB&L "The Doctor" or "Timeslip" from "Out of the Storm" with that unforgetable/dynamic bass solo ! Either way it's going to be good to see you Jack ! I"m going to the Newcastle concert and the Sydney concert,see the rest of you Brucers there ,enjoy the moment ! Cheers Dennis

Jack....Not sure if you will get this or a buffer.....just wanted to tell you how much your music; not just from Cream; but everything you have done over the years has meant to me. When Cream was together...I was always in awh of your fantastic 'lead bass' playing. you were always the lead guitar player in that band. And the Bruce / Brown songs will allways be tne best. You will allways be the driving force behind Cream and I'm on my 7th copy of Wheels of Fire. I could go to my grave a happy man with a signed copy of Wheels of Fire. It would never be opened.

Jack Bruce is my all-time favorite musician. Harmony Row is the best album of the 70's. Best concert I ever saw was Jack with Billy Cobham, David Sanchez, and Clem Clemson in DC in 1981. Jack is the best, but a Cream reunion would be a great way to start Y2K.

of the people who are remembered from cream jack bruce is the one with the most enduring talent and the one who was prepared to explore his music. EC has become a crooner (despite enough life trauma & tragedy to sing the blues more than many) comfortable on his millions. JB if he has ever made his millions would be sitting on them like good scotsman. as for poor old Ginger, well it happens to the best of us but "horses and trees" was absolutely powerful. Jack has endured and persisted thru real talent. I am a long timefan but have this year learned to play trumpet so my playlist has become centered but Monkjack is a very beautiful set of songs. Keep going Mr Bruce and leave the rocknroll alone(this silly giants of rock tour whatever it is callled is a wank like a johnny farnham thing) do your real stuff esp with minimal instrumentation like Monkjack. An album of Bass guitar and Cello long pieces with occasional drifting in and out vocals and highlight bars of trumpet/flugel/piccolo trumpet would make my middle age worth living. By crikey that is such a good idea I may try to get closer to Mr Bruce and urge him strongly. He doesn't need to waste his timeon rock. Im sure he has a local pub to play in if he has to thrash. Kind Regards to all listeners of inspired composers and musicians from bwtrumptr brisbane aust.

Hey DT of San Diego, in answer to your question about Jack Bruce coming to Australia, he's coming here in Feb/Mar. 2000 with the British Rock Symphony, only they're calling it the Ultimate Rock Symphony for Australia. Some of the members of the line-up are JACK BRUCE, Roger Daltrey, Alice Cooper, Peter Frampton, Paul Rogers, Gary Brooker and Billy Preston. They're supposed to be going from here to California in late March, but the line-up hasn't been announced. You might have seen JACK BRUCE with a lot of those guys in the Ringo band? Can't wait to see JB here. - Marc W.

Great to read in the Smiles & Grins newsletter that Jack Bruce is back in the studio working on a new CD. What a gutsy effort MonkJack was considering the man regarded as the world's finest bass player performed on piano and vocals, and was only accompanied by Bernie Worrell on organ. Then again, Jack wasn't afraid to completely revolutionize the way the bass was played in the 60's. Can't wait for March to roll around. - M&L.

Dear Jack, I hope you've been a good lad and organised a couple of special little solo gigs while you are in Sydney in March.It will be great to see you in the monolith that is the Superdome,but i'm sure a lot of people like myself who have waited to see you live for over 30 years will be hoping to see you in a smaller,more suitable venue.How the fuck did Alice Cooper get involved with this circus?Everybody else seems pretty much connected ,but Alice?Anyway i should't complain because if the only way of seeing you live in my lifetime is this type of tour,then so be it.I hope you will be catching up with your legion of fans when in Oz,maybe a little piss-up where we can all get together and have a drink and a chat! Best wishes, Phil.

I remember seeing Jack on stage with West, Bruce and Laing at the Orpheum Theater in Boston 1972. He wore a White Tuxedo and Leslie was wearing a Black Tuxedo. They opened with "Don't Look Around" and then launched into "Why Dontcha". It was unbelievable ! I'll never forget it.
I have been listenening alot to the Monkjack CD lately. This is a very polished piece and I like Jack's piano playing just as much as I enjoy his bass playing. Buy the CD !!
Great Web site ---- Keep up the good work !

We saw the Ultimate Rock Synphony advertisement on TV last night. That's the first time since October 10. And still no footage of Jack Bruce. Let's hope all Jack's fans know about it. Best wishes, M&L.

Dear Jack,
I am a forty five year old Singaporean, who has just released a first book of music from Singapore titled Legends of the Golden Venus that looks at Singapore's r & b and blues scene of the Sixties. I am now researching and writing a book on John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and I would like to interview you to get your views on your short stint with John. I wrote once before but got no response. I would appreciate a reply. Even a "no" reply would be appeciated.
Regards.

God, Jack, But you've held up well. You don't look much older than when I saw you at The Warehouse in New Orleans, playing with West, Bruce and Lainge. You were great then and you are now. Keep it up.

I have been a fan since I first heard Disraeli Gears. Live Spoonful,Around the next Dream and somethin'Els are my favourites. I am too old really, but I've been playing bass for five years or so, finally got in a band & having a great time. Keep inspiring us amateurs. Any chance of an appearance in East Anglia in the near future. Best Wishes.

This site is a fantastic tribute to one of the great musicians of the 60's and today.Jack I loved your voice with Cream it's both raw and powerful and your ability to play is equal of that.My only wish is for younger people like myself (i'am only 24), could indulge in some of the the greatest music ever to be played. Thank you very much

I´m playing bass since I´m fourteen, since 1973 - and Jack Bruce has been my favourite bass-player since then. I always tried to play the bass the way you did it, when you have been a member of Cream.

Very fine web site. Jack Bruce is one of my favorite bassists, and he's a damn fine songwriter as well. I particularly love his early work with Cream. Quite revolutionary, one of the first basists to play on more than four strings.

Dear Jack
Can't belive this web site, I can't get off it and it's Christmas Eve, it's great.
Thank you for 40 years of great music. You have been a great inspiration in my life. I have followed you carrer since 1966. ALthough most want to speak about the Cream days (a they were great), it is what you done over the past 30 years which has influenced (Carla Bley, Mike Mantler, Larry Coryell, Kip, and the best of all "LIFETIME". Funny story - I met you at Unganos (night club on NYC's west side that closed a few weeks after you played it) in the early 70's. You were playing with Lifetime, and I was only 14 years old at the time, and under age to get in the club. I begged the owner to show you a rate picture I had with "Alexis Corner Group" - Blues Inc. with Alexis, Dick Heckstall Smith, Charlie Watts, C. Davis, etc.. and yourself at age 19 or so.
I finally convinced him to bring the picture to you for your autograph. Your responce was " I don't have that picture in my own library, can I meet the guy, maybe he as another". You invited me back stage, and I did have an extra and we talked for about 20 minutes, and never mentioned Cream. Jack, do have any idea what impact that had on a 14 year old boy's (musician) life, I think about that time you spent almost every day since, (I am now 43). What an experience!!, not to mention John McLauglin, Larry Young and Tony Williams being in the same room. Also, thanks to you I got to see "Lifetime" that night, you insisted with the owner to let me stay (inspite of being under age), you comment was "I was your greatest fan", and you were right.
To the greatest musician I know, thanks for everything. Hope to see you in New York soon. Got to go, it's Christmas Eve and the wife and kids can't figure out why I am the computer so long.

Just found out that the 2 Graham Bond Organization LPS have just been put on CD, however they are just available in England. I am London several times a year, and had not found them. I have the LP copies (which you signed at a West,Bruce & Lang concert), however I do not like to play them anymore, as the vinyl is waring out. Would love to have them on CD. If anyone knows of a store in London I can get them, please e-mail. Also, Jack will Mike Mantler's "NO ANSWER" ever be put on CD. Can't play that one anymore either.
Thanks,
Tom
