In occasione del 65° compleanno di Jack Bruce, la Esoteric celebra il grande musicista con un lussuoso box set apribile in 4 parti composto da 6 CD ed un libro di 68 pagine con i suoi personali commenti illustrato con foto inedite. La carriera di Bruce non ha certo bisogno di presentazioni: il suo pionieristico stile di suonare il basso ha influenzato generazioni intere di bassisti, da Pastorius a Paul McCartney, da Sting a Flea dei Red Hot Chili Peppers. Come songwriter è autore di classici consegnati alla storia del rock come “Sunshine of Your Love”, “I Feel Free” e “White Room” e il suo nome è legato a formazioni importantissime come Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated, Graham Bond Organisation, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Manfred Mann Band e ovviamente i Cream, per un totale di più di 33 milioni di dischi venduti. “Can You Follow?” seleziona ben 110 brani tutti remastered (di cui 29 per la prima volta pubblicati in CD) tratti dal suo ricchissimo repertorio sia con i gruppi prima menzionati che come solista (15 albums ad iniziare dal classico “Songs For a Tailor”), oltre a materiale di altri progetti con Frank Zappa, West Bruce & Laing, Robin Trower, BBM, Racket 88, Tony William’s Lifetime. Un’edizione assolutamente imperdibile in una confezione strabiliante!
CD in vendita da Disco Club a partire da giovedì 03/07/08 al prezzo di € 76,00.
