CREAM – FRESH CREAM with special guest MALCOLM BRUCE

Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker formed Cream and released their stunning blues based debut album in 1966.

‘Fresh Cream' represents so many different firsts, it's difficult to keep count. Cream, of course, were the first supergroup, but their first album not only gave birth to the power trio, it also was instrumental in the birth of heavy metal and the birth of jam rock.

Our special guest offered some other unique insights into one of the great debut offerings from the fertile sixties. Like his father Jack, Malcolm Bruce is not only steeped in the blues, but also in the classical & jazz traditions. He is the co-executive producer, arranger and performer for 'Heavenly Cream,' a project headed by Cream lyricist Pete Brown. The album was released in late 2023 to critical acclaim.

Malcolm Bruce’s new album is ‘Fake Humans And Real Dolls.’

Jason Barnard was in the interviewer's chair.

This event took place on 11th January 2024 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
