On the eve of the first anniversary of Jack Bruce's death, 24th October 2015, The Bruce family organised a tribute concert in Jack's honour at London's Roundhouse. The concert quickly sold out with many guests coming to honour the legendary artist: the late Ginger Baker, Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Joss Stone, Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music), Mark King (Level 42), Uli Jon Roth and many more. The evening was musically directed by the award winning composer and multi-instrumentalist Nitin Sawhney.
25th October 2019 marks the fifth anniversary of the passing of Jack Bruce. On this day the concert will be released as a special boxset comprising of DVD and double CD, boasting outstanding surround sound and image quality.
Eric Clapton, who co-founded the legendary psychedelic blues rock band Cream in 1966, together with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, was unfortunately not able to participate in the London Roundhouse event. But he personally honours his friend Jack Bruce, who was an enormous inspiration to him throughout his life, with the bespoke homage For Jack, which was played during Jack's funeral and is released here for the first time on record as a bonus track.
The concert raised over �35,000 for Jack's favourite charity East Anglia's Children's Hospices and a percentage of the revenue from sales of this product will also be donated to EACH.
