Show Notes

JACK BRUCE GOES INSTRUMENTAL! No, it’s not “All Instrumental April” again already, but we’ve got bassist Zeke Kyoku (Ghost Tapes, Contraband) to help guide us jazz-novices through the Cream bassist’s foray into free jazz.  Is this our first “Jazz Odyssey”? Who’s feeding those dogs on the cover? What kep Jack Bruce from having as commercially successful solo career as Eric Clapton? Is this a good gateway drug to get rock fans into jazz? What is the advantage of playing two saxophones at the same time? Did Jack really write these songs when he was eleven? Why is he lying to us? How stupid does he think we are? And why didn’t Mel Torme sing with Cream? We may be in a bit over our heads, but the cream always rises on Detours and Outliers.
