2CD release ties in with Cream icon’s memorial concert

Jack Bruce’s work with Cream, BBM and his solo output is the subject of a two-disc anthology on sale now, to coincide with an all-star memorial concert.

The iconic bassist and vocalist died last year aged 71, leaving a legacy that’s celebrated in Sunshine Of Your Love: A Life In Music, released via Republic Records.

The label says: “Jack was a colossus with a restless musical spirit. His 50-year career saw him work with a wide range of collaborators across many genres. His virtuosity on the bass guitar set the standard by which other musicians would be judged.”

Sunshine Of Your Love is on sale now. Bruce’s career achievements will be marked at the Roundhouse, London, on October 24, during a concert featuring ex bandmate Ginger Baker, Phil Manzanera, Ian Anderson, Bernie Marsden and others.

A Cream box set of replica vinyl singles is to be released in December.
