Product Description
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!

I'll likely grab the Amazon UK version.

Why? Cheaper?

I just previewed the Amazon samples. Sounds good.

Yes, I have the CD and its good, I haven't played it in a while, but it is a good quality recording for the time period.

On the whole a very good set. I find Jack to be usually excellent live, and the band is very good.
One caveat- I find the congas on both "Sunshine..." and "White Room" to be incredibly intrusive. It isn't that the congas are there-it's that they're all over the place, to the point of annoyance. I won't listen to either track again.
