Bruce entered the world at Bishopbriggs, Lanarkshire on 14th May 1943. Growing up in his native Scotland he played bass in Jim McHarg's Scotsville Jazzband and was also a regular attraction in Glasgow's dancehalls. His early musical influences seem to have been Scottish folk, jazz and classical - he actually won a scholarship to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music.

In the early sixties he headed for London, playing in Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated and then attracting attention in the Graham Bond Organisation. He later had short spells with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and Manfred Mann before forming Cream with Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton.

He recorded his first 45, which is now an expensive collectors' item, whilst still with the Graham Bond Organisation back in 1965, so after the demise of Cream it was no major surprise that he chose to work on a solo career.

In November 1969 he put together Jack Bruce and Friends to promote his critically acclaimed Songs For A Tailor album with Larry Coryell, Chris Spedding and Jon Hiseman. His second album, Things We Like, which featured Dick Heckstall-Smith, Jon Hiseman and John McLaughlin made less impact. To promote it Spedding and Hiseman were replaced by Mike Mandel and Mitch Mitchell. In October 1970, Bruce then joined Tony Williams' Lifetime.

Bruce put together a new tour band in April 1971 with Spedding, John Marshall, Art Theman and Graham Bond. This band may have also promoted Bruce's third album Harmony Row.

His next venture was a collaboration with Carla Bley and Paul Haines on Escalator Over The Hill, a jazz-rock album. He spent from 1972-73 in West, Bruce and Laing, but in the summer of 1974 formed a new tour band with Mick Taylor (ex-Rolling Stones), Bruce Gary (drms), Carla Bley (keyb'ds) and Max Middleton - although Middleton only rehearsed with them and was replaced by Ronnie Leahy. This band promoted Out Of The Storm and stayed together until July 1975.

In January 1977 he put together another band with Hughie Burns, Tony Hymas and Simon Phillips to promote How's Tricks (Mar. 1977). In 1981, he then formed BLT with Robin Trower.
