JACK BRUCE

A quite extraordinary find recently from Floppy Boot Stomp thanks to SilentWay there. I reflect that we have access to recordings now that the quality improves by the week it seems and this is as rare a recording as it gets and only recently did anyone find out who was on it (check the artwork)! It is staggeringly good quality and therefore highly listenable and Jack's jazz at its peak! Enjoy . . . . . .
