Digitally remastered two CD edition of this live album from the British Rock legend. LIVE '75 is a recording made on the legendary Jack Bruce Band tour of that year. With a band featuring former Rolling Stone Mick Taylor on guitar, Jazz icon Carla Bley on keyboards, Ronnie Leahy on piano and organ and Bruce Gary on drums, this release captures the band at the peak of their powers at a concert in Manchester's Free Trade Hall on June 1st 1975. Featuring dramatically extended versions of classic Jack Bruce compositions such as 'Morning Story', 'Keep it Down', 'Smiles and Grins' and two lengthy medleys of 'Tickets to Waterfalls / Weird of Hermiston / Post War' and 'One / You Burned the Tables on Me', the live set also featured Tony Williams' composition 'Spirit' and the Cream classic 'Sunshine of Your Love'. Esoteric. 2011.

Farewell to the late great Jack Bruce
Farewell to the late great Jack Bruce. (The gold standard of electric bass.) It was a good time to supplement my modest collection, and I admit I was intrigued reading about a collaboration that not only nudged Mick Taylor from the Stones, but got Carla Bley volunteering to join in with some very heady mellotron. There Whistle Stop performance on BBC is good. This is even better. This is more jazzy and abstract than the rock icons that Jack is readily identified with, and needs a couple of listens to sink in, but well worth the effort. (Also, I've noticed that an earlier release of this material has garnered some feedback about poor recording with various instruments lost in the mix. I didn't find this to be the case with this iteration, so I assumed that someone came in and fixed things with a good new mastering.)

Historically important and more importantly, superb.
As mentioned in another (great) review, the mix of the concert is the only (slight) downside... It is a very worthy release, certainly not least due to the members and their individual contributions, although that is when the issue of mix/sound quality lets us down.But!- Not to worry, this is still a thoroughly rewarding release and perhaps one of the continuous treats is that of hearing new nuances in time, which, on some tracks, can, at first easily go unnoticed...And, Mick Taylor! So under-served after Rolling Stones membership; Jack Bruce also reminding those who care, just how much of Cream he actually was. Stunning.Highly recommended, but definitely consider his brilliant debut solo album, 'Songs for a Tailor', and then it's further on up the rope ladder....

Stupendous over-looked gem!
Great music from a superb group of musucians! Like Jack Bruce himself,a hard-to-categorize.Truly "fusion" music,but not in the stiff,lame,limited stereotyped manner of Return To Forever (tho I appreciated their talent).Jack Bruce and the others on this double-c.d.have such a wide and deep scope of talent.I'd never heard of this group when I was a kid.The "music industry" didn't know how to market them,I guess...

And his band is excellent. Sound is a little wonky at times
Jack Bruce can jam! And his band is excellent. Sound is a little wonky at times.

Jack vocals are also a standout in this performance......
Great description from prior review - "abstract.". Cannot be classified in totality but does not take a musical genius to understand how great this band was. This cd does grow on you. Jack's vocals are unique and passionate. His singing in the 1960s and 1970s was terribly underrated. As he aged, he was still a great singer but his tone and range changed. Does anyone know where we can find more Jack Bruce live from 1975 and earlier?

HALT!!!
Ich finde diese Nivellierungsversuche generell schrecklich. Wenn man sich mit Musik im allgemeinen auseinandersetzt, ist die erste Sache "ZUHÖREN". Und dieser Output von Jack Bruce mit kongenialen Mitstreitern (z.B. Mick Taylor oder Carla Bley) ist wunderbar und genau in diesem Licht zu sehen, nämlich LIVE! Und das kommt musikalisch sehr gut rüber. Jeder zeigt, was er drauf hat. Das ist doch wunderbar!

クールなジャック・ブルースが燃えているのが微笑ましい
ジャック・ブルースのユーザーのかたには、ぜひゆっくり時間をとって聴いてほしいアルバムです。曲は「Songs for a Tailor 」以降のソロ三作を中心にライフタイムの曲1曲。クリーム時代に得た貯金を吐きだして自由にスタジオ・ワークをやったので、ステージ活動に戻りたくなった。このライブの制作背景としてそんなストーリーを想像します。このメンバーが集まったのはちょっとした奇禍です。ミック・テイラーはストーンズをやめたばかりでこうしたセッションに飢えていただろうし、カーラ・ブレイはブレイのほうからブルースをアルバム制作に招いた経緯があったわけです。ブルースの指向としてスタジオ・ワークの再現は目指していません。このメンバーでジャムをやり、それをユーザーと共有したかった、というところでしょう。長い曲ばかりで身構えたくなりますけれど、そこは聴きやすくつくってあります。たんたんとして進行していくようで、相当事前にセッションを重ねたのではないでしょうか。ミック・テイラーもカーラ・ブレイも伸び伸びしています。肝心のブルースは、ちょっと肩に力が入りすぎかな、と。歌い方なんか過呼吸みたいでそこが微笑ましくあったりします。こうした演奏を聴いてしまうと、クリーム時代は相当無理してたんだな、と思えてしまいます。もともとマーケットと対峙する人ではなくて、学究肌の人なんでしょうね。

本当にリラックスしてやってるのが、よくわかります。You tube では、このメンツの映像がありました。DVD 化してね。

Als Zeitdukument OK- Als Musik ??
Der Mitschnitt bietet einen guten Eindruck über die Music-Scene 1975. Ziemlich viel Improvisation. Die Band auf der Suche nach Neuem. Nicht auf einen Level zu stellen mit den Cream Produktionen. Vervollständigt die Sammlung Clapton,Bruce, Baker. Als Zeitdokument ok.
