JACK BRUCE

Jack Bruce a fondé en compagnie de Vernon Reid, guitariste de Living Colour, un super groupe de jazz fusion répondant au doux nom de Spectrum Road. Ce groupe comprend également la batteuse de Santana, Cindy Blackman et le pianiste avant-gardiste, John Medeski.

The collaboration between the two musicians formed through Bruce and Reid's mutual admiration for late Miles Davis drummer Tony Williams' Lifetime project, of which Jack was a member back in 1970.

Spectrum Road also features Santana drummer Cindy Blackman Santana and avant-jazz keyboardist John Medeski. Vernon Reid says the chemistry of the group developed as they began working together.

La tournée UK qui devait avoir lieu en mars a été annulée pour des raisons qui n'ont pas encore été divulguées.

Je suis très peiné ce soir d'apprendre la mort du bassiste-chanteur de Cream, l'un de mes groupes préférés.  Grand bassiste, grand compositeur, figure majeure du blues boom anglais.

Hats off to him.

Pour moi, il n'y a pas que Cream mais il y a aussi West Bruce & Laing et ce live dantesque beaucoup trop court.

A peine mort, v'là ça qui sort...........

Former Stranglers' frontman Hugh Cornwell, Ulil Jon Roth of The Scorpions, Bernie Marsden of Whitesnake, and Nico Bruce are on the bill for a tribute concert for the late Cream bassist Jack Bruce in London this October.

The gig is in aid of East Anglia's Children’s Hospices and will take place on October 24 in the Roundhouse on the eve of the first anniversary of Bruce's death.

Artists already announced include Cream’s drummer Ginger Baker, Joss Stone, Phil Manzanera, Ian Anderson, Vernon Reid of Living Color, Level 42's Mark King, and Jack Bruce’s Big Blues Band. Further additions and special guests have yet to be announced.

"I am very excited about the repertoire chosen by Jack’s wife Margrit and his family,“ said Nitin Sawhney, musical director of the concert.

“The show will consist of two halves, covering the broad range of Jack’s solo work and his most classic gems with Cream. Each half will build energy in the way that Jack was used to, culminating in an explosive and uplifting conclusion to a wonderful night of Jack’s favourite collaborators, friends and legendary musicians performing his work."
