An ambitious solo debut album released after Cream disbanded.
"Songs For A Tailor" is an experimental work that fuses a variety of musical elements, demonstrating the breadth of Jack Bruce's musical vision. The songs, supported by heavy bass lines, combine the dynamism of rock with the sophistication of jazz. With significant contributions from guest musicians, this is a masterpiece that evokes the cutting edge of 70s rock.
