Jack Bruce "Harmony Row" 2CD/2Blu-ray Box Set is set to be released on June 27, 2025. Glass Onyon sent over these details: The album was released in July 1971 and followed his successful and influential album 'Songs for a Tailor'.
Once again, Jack's intention was to make a record distinctly diverse from the music he had recorded with Cream, and 'Harmony Row' expanded even further on the musical palate he explored on 'Songs for a Tailor' featuring compositions which drew stylistically on jazz, folk, classical, rock and Eastern musical influences.
Joining the recording sessions at London's Command Studios were guitarist Chris Spedding and drummer John Marshall, with Jack singing and playing piano, organ, bass guitar and cello. 'Harmony Row' was highly acclaimed upon its release and is now rightly regarded as a masterpiece and one of Jack's seminal works.
This box set edition of this special album features the original 1971 album mix (newly remastered from the original master tapes), along with wonderful new stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound mixes of the album by Stephen W Tayler (from the original 16-track master tapes) and previously unreleased session out-takes and demos. The set also includes a marvellous performance in 1971 by Jack and a band featuring Graham Bond (organ, vocals), Chris Spedding & John Marshall for the Granada TV show Out Front and a documentary on Jack made for the German TV series Swing In, first broadcast in 1972. It also features an illustrated book with a new essay by Sid Smith and is the definitive version of this classic album.
