Sunshine of your love: A tribute concert in honor of Cream's Jack Bruce
On the first anniversary of Jack Bruce’s passing, a star-studded line up of world-class musicians performed a moving musical tribute to the Scottish legend at The Roundhouse in London. The tribute concert to Cream's Jack Bruce featured Jack’s Cream bandmate Ginger Baker, Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera, Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson, Joss Stone, Level 42’s Mark King, Living Colour’s Vernon Reid, Uli Jon Roth, Hugh Cornwell and many more.
It is was musically directed by Nitin Sawhney. The musicians delighted the audience with a good and well thought out selection of Jack Bruce's songs from across his entire career. The tribute concert was recorded and will be presented in HD with surround sound audio. This unique recording will receive its debut screening in the luxurious surroundings of the Curzon Mayfair on 14th May 2018. This is a particularly special date, as it marks Jack’s 75th Birthday.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A session hosted by Edith Bowman and will give the audience a chance to quiz many of the original tribute’s contributors, including music director Nitin Sawhney, Phil Manzanera, Ian Anderson, Mark King and members of Bruce’s family, about this wonderful concert.
Nitin Sawhney, the musical director, shared, "I felt deeply honored when Natasha and Margrit asked me to musically direct this wonderful tribute show to Jack Bruce’s fantastic body of work. Directing such a range of musical legends, who all came together to reproduce and perform the highlights of Jack’s work, was an enormously inspirational experience. Everyone was determined to rise to the occasion and bring their own special talents to make this an unforgettable night and a fitting response to one of rock’s greatest songwriters and icons. Thank you to all of Jack’s amazing family for the privilege of bringing such an important evening to life."
This tribute concert is a lasting memory of the musical repertoire of which Jack was such a part. And of the man himself; often outspoken, volatile and impassioned, he retained the humble warmth and intelligence which marked him as one of the great musical personalities of our time.
