JACK BRUCE AND THE CUICOLAND EXPRESS Live At The Milkyway
(2011 UK 12-track 2-CD album set - In 2001, an incredible concert
took place, the legendary Jack Bruce performing live with his all-star
band; the Cuicoland Express at The Melkweg in Amsterdam. For nine
years, only the lucky few who were members of the audience that
night were able to experience the magic that took place. Although the
show had been recorded, the tapes lay dormant and inaccessible,
seemingly lost to the world. In 2009 an opportunity in New York arose
enabling the tapes to be digitally converted, meaning they could be
mixed and mastered by Bruce's long-term producer and friend, Kip
Hanrahan. This will give fans of Jack Bruce, multi-instrumentalist,
vocalist and composer, the chance to experience original material as
well as some of their best-loved Cream and Bruce classics re-worked
into a sizzling, energetic fusion of Rock and Latin Jazz. Featuring
Vernon Reid on guitar [Living Colour], Bernie Worrell on organ
[Parliament, Funkadelic], Richie Flores on congas [Tito Puente,
Cachao], Horacio 'El Negro' Hernandez on drums [Roy Hargrove.
Carlos Santana] and Robby Ameen [Dizzy Gillespie, Paul Simon] also
on drums, this unstoppable line-up had the audience on fire!)
