[Bassplayir]

I got all of my cream tabs from http://www.Basstabarchive.com, just type cream under search and pick a song.

Jack Bruce tab.......Sorry if that amuses me.....I think some of the other "old geezers" here will understand...

[gweimer]

Deynn, no kidding! I'm just starting to figure out tab, and I'd like to know how you get timing (especially Jack Bruce timing)off of tabs!!!!!

If you only know Jack from his cream stuff, you are missing his best playing. IMHO, the stuff he did with Jack Bruce and Friends is by far his tastiest playing.

I'm probably a bigger Jack Bruce fan from his solo work than from Cream. I still don't have How's Tricks, but my copies of Songs for a Tailor and Harmony Row are worn pretty thin.

"Songs for a Tailor" is some of Jack's best work. That cd is never far from my player. I think I'll listen to "Theme for an Imaginary Western" right now. A great way to start the day....

Jack Bruce has done some fabulous stuff throughout his career. Check out his work with David Torn--their version of "Rope Ladder to the Moon" is beautifully haunting. And Jack definitely holds a place in the pantheon of great songwriters and interpreters.

Hey Jack Bruce fans, if you don't already have it get yourself a copy of The Cream of Cream video, outstanding!

Jack is the one guy whose music always makes me smile. I love a lot of other players, but JB was the first player to catch my ear when I was starting in the late '70s. I would sit for hours with the used EB-O my father picked up cheap (wish I still had it!) trying to learn the "Best Of Cream" album. Jack's music still satisfies, and he's never sold out. I love so many of the projects he's done. My favorites are probably the Carla Bley/Mike Mantler albums- some of this music is as far removed from the rock/blues idiom as possible, yet Jack's playing (and singing!) style is immediately recognizable; individual, confident, audacious and always musical and appropriate. Twenty-five years of listening to the man has'nt dimmed my appreciation. If I could have had anyone's career, it would be Jack's. I'm sitting here listening to the "Cities Of The Heart" 50th birthday CD, and I'm impressed by the quality of the material, the level of players he can muster, and the respect he receives and deserves. Also, I've always been impressed by Jack's spoken introduction on the "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown" tapes. His words radiate a warm respect and friendship for Jamerson. The warmth comes through in person as well, as I discovered upon meeting Jack once after a show. The man is a class act as well as a true survivor with a true love of music. People who have only heard Cream have no idea of the real scope of this man's talent.

I'm new here. I'm a 37 y/o electric and acoustic player of jazz/blues/rock/classical/experimental
music, from the New York City area. Looking forward to getting to know you all. Cheers H-Kube

Welcome H-Kube.....and I couldn't agree with you more about Jack. He made an impression on me over 30 years ago...and still does today.

I think that his best work ever was with WEST BRUCE AND LAING.Bruce at his very best.
