Jack Bruce, who passed away October 25th, 2014, was a music colossus with a restless musical spirit. His 50-year career saw him work with a wide range of collaborators, across many genres. He was respected by all for his inventiveness and instrumental dexterity. He composed some of the greatest songs of the 20th Century including: “White Room”, “I Feel Free”, “Sunshine Of Your Love”, and “Theme For An Imaginary Western”. His last album was Silver Rails, released in March 2014 and recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
