jack bruce

When Cream split up in 1968 Jack Bruce went on to begin his solo career.
Having previously worked with performance poet turned lyracist Pete Brown on some of Cream's most well known songs, 'I Feel Free', 'White Room' and 'Sunshine of Your Love' the partnership continued into Jacks first solo release. 'Songs For A Taylor' in 1969, and in following years the albums 'Harmony Row' and 'Out of the Storm'.
The combination of Browns evocative lyrics and Bruce's exraordinary vocal range created something unforgettable.
Here's a rare bit of footage of Jack Bruce playing guitar to their song 'Rope Ladder to the Moon' from 'Songs For A Taylor'.
