The Jack Bruce tribute show has been edited and will be uploaded at We Transfer tomorrow. Let me know if you ave not received notification of the download link by Wednesday. 

This coming Thursday's show has the usual mix of the new and the obscure goodies buried in the archives. The Japanese and in particular Universal are busy remastering old recordings. Brand X's Unorthodox Behaviour remastered, certainly compared with my ancient CD, sounds cleaner, crisper and louder. How may people have now done their own interpretations of Sgt Pepper - Easy Star's I sampled  two weeks ago, and then I came across Andy Timmon's shred version and the brand new Flaming Lips interpretation out this week (which the Time rock critic awarded 2/5 stars on Saturday....). Newies from Stanley Clarke with an interesting cast of guest players (but how many times can you re-record 'School Days'?); Eric Johnson/Mike Stern together;  + The Process. The Irish band Crow Black Chicken has been sampled because a reviewer drew parallels with Taste???? And 'Doxy'  for another reminder of Jack Bruce (as well as one of John McLaughlin's earliest jazz recordings).

Since posting my intention of doing a Jack Bruce special this lunchtime, I've received two requests for specific music which meant changes. Then also I reminded myself, that in putting 90% of the show together last night, I had forgotten Bruce's contribution to the avant jazz of Michael Mantler and the pop hits of the Manfred Mann Band in the mid 60's. (Hence the belated inclusion of a live version by the co-composers (i.e. Bruce & Jones) of 'Sonny Boy Williamson', coming together,  many  years after my hearing the more commonly played Kooper/Bloomfield version). And besides my 'Escalator Over The Hill' is on vinyl......So 'Traintime 'has been sacrificed from the provisional playlist. I make not apologies including two Kip Hanrahan tracks, a body of work by Bruce too often neglected. In some cases I've avoided the original versions - Bruce seemed to added a Latin groove to some familiar Cream tunes when re-recording these. BTW how many times did Bruce record I Feel Free - I have three version including the single that was used as Renault car advert music. However, something I've never nailed, was a recording of a concert of Jack Bruce, Sting (and was it with a German jazz diva?), singing Kurt Weill in German, when reportedly Bruce's performance blow Sting off the stage. 

As ever the first 30 minutes or so are anchored in jazz, before we broaden out wrt the musical forms
