The recent passing of legendary bassist Jack Bruce of Cream left the music world saddened. A spirit as vibrant as his deserves a posthumous tribute, and that’s exactly what will happen on October 24 at the Roundhouse in London, England at an event being called, appropriately, “Sunshine Of Your Love”. So far, the list of participating artists convening to pay their respects to Bruce includes the following: Ginger Baker Joss Stone Ian Anderson Phil Manzanera Vernon Reid Mark King Liam Bailey Fiona Bevan Jack Bruce’s Big Blues Band and more. A CONCERT CELEBRATING THE LIFE AND MUSIC OF JACK BRUCE

Kind of interesting no mention of Eric Clapton.

Here's a little jam session with Jack and Ian from '83 THank you, I like that a lot. There's some vague recollection about this. Did't Ian complain about being thrown into this or am I mixing things up. Never mind, it brings a few things together (love for Tull, a few years of being an expat in Nigeria) Pieter

You might be referring to the Munich gig a few years ago. I wish someone had caught that on tape.
Quoting Ian below from his site:
"I was deep in meaningful conversation with my new pal, the esoteric and suave Al Di Meola – maestro of the jazz-fusion guitar – when those loud and vulgar types Steven Hangbuddy Lukather and Robert cuddle-me-quick Kimball persuaded us to venture on to their stage at the Munich Olympia Halle last night.
Yes, I know we were actually at the concert anyway but only to steal their beer and check out the young girls who flock to Toto shows to see what their aging mothers were knicker-wetting about. Leslie Mandoki warned me about the possible effects on the psyche when engaged in giga-bel volume guitar and flute lick trading, but would I listen?
So, it was thus that the regrettable and disgraceful display of phallic-flute-thrusting involving the lower anatomies of said Lukather and Kimball and the perfectly innocent Sankyo Japanese flute came to take place. OK: I was reacting instinctively to a Rock and Roll moment of Spinal Tappesque proportions, but it wasn’t really my fault. That well-meaning but overly enthusiastic bugger Di Meola was presenting me with such impossible phrases and licks (how I distrust that word) with which to trade, that I took the theatrical option of diverting attention to the well-hung and endowed nether regions of my new (but sadly temporary) bandmates, Roberto and Stephan.
Blame Di Meola."

Blame Di Meola." No, not that. I can't find the interview itself but some comments on the net: - anderson, in an interview a few years ago, told that the whole fela kuti improntu playing was made out of thin air when he was practically dragged out of a radio interview and rushed into the stage to perform with kuti and his band. anderson did not feel very good about this but obliged, but he kind of sensed he was being used by the african musician or his promoters to attract larger audiences to kuti's activism and/or kuti's music. the jethro tull front man was not comfortable at all with the whole thing, he stated later. - Me and Jack Bruce and everybody else,we all got dragged up there, and it was chaos. The people in the audience weren't impressed, they knew it was dead boring, a total waste of time." Ian Anderson got so bored after a while, he just lit a cigarette. - Ian Anderson was actually at the bar, backstage after having done his stuff on this German programme, talking to Jack Bruce, who he had never met and who was one of his heroes. Suddenly these people came in saying he had to go on stage to jam with Fela Kuti. His flute was already packed , so he rushed to get it and had to assemble it on stage.

Somebody put Ian in a position where he couldn't say no. Sounds a little scary though.

end the dam song. Bet Ian said "oh well-fuck the flute case" as he left the stage.
