Jack Bruce – Songs For A Tailor LP

Jack Bruce – Songs For A Tailor

‘Songs For A Tailor’ was Jack Bruce’s first solo project to be released after the demise of Cream in November 1968. Eager to make his debut solo album distinctly diverse from the music he had recorded with Cream, it featured music which stylistically drew on jazz, folk, classical and rock influences. Joining Jack and producer Felix Pappalardi for the recording sessions at London’s Morgan Studios were some of Britain’s best musicians such as Chris Spedding, Jon Hiseman, Dick Heckstall-Smith, John Marshall, Art Themen and Henry Lowther. One session was also notable for the presence of George Harrison. ‘Songs For A Tailor’ was a chart success in both the UK and the USA and is now rightly regarded as a masterpiece and one of Jack’s seminal works.
