Jack Bruce will always be best known as the bass player and vocalist for Cream but he has done so much for since their break-up forty or so years ago
He recorded an acoustic jazz album with John McLaughlin, toured with the Mahivishnu Orchestra, formed the blues rock trio West, Bruce and Laing..........and that was all before 1972 !
A 6 CD career retrospective drawing on his many fine solo albums such as SONGS FOR A TAILOR, HARMONY ROW, OUT OF THE STORM, HOWS TRICKS, JET SET JEWEL, SHADOWS IN THE AIR & MORE JACK THAN GOD is due for release June 2, 2008.
The set also includes 14 tracks by CREAM (including previously unreleased mono mixes) and Jacks collaborations with BLUES INCORPORATED, GRAHAM BOND ORGANISATION, JOHN MAYALL,MANFRED MANN, LIFETIME, FRANK ZAPPA, WEST BRUCE & LAING, ROCKET 88 (with Charlie Watts), BBM and much more.
It all comes in a deluxe set with a 68 page booklet with an exclusive interview & many unpublished photos

I remember when he teamed up with Leslie West and Corky Laing. They were pretty good, if my memory serves me correctly. This is a box set I just might invest in; thanks for the heads up.
