Jack Bruce's 'Harmony Row' Box Set Coming Soon

Jack Bruce's 1971 album, Harmony Row will be reissued as a deluxe double CD / double multi-region Blu-ray Disc box set on June 27 All newly remastered and mixed from the original master tapes, the set features 34 bonus tracks added to a new 5.1 surround sound and stereo mixes by Stephen W Tayler of the album, plus a 1971 concert for the Granada TV show Show Out Front and the 1972 German TV documentary film Swing In. An illustrated book with an essay by Sid Smith is also included.    

Harmony Row was released in July 1971 and followed Bruce's successful and influential album Songs for a Tailor. Once again, the musician'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 Bruce’s seminal works.
