CD Description
Jack Bruce and Robin Trower performing live for the first time! The news spread like wildfire, the sensation was perfect. The legendary Cream bassist and singer, all his life striking new paths in blues and jazzrock, and the immensely talented guitarist of Procol Harum fame, who left the chains of 5-minute-pop behind him very early and never followed any mainstream cliches. Both musicians have written history in rock for more than 40 years.

It was at the beginning of the 80s when they first worked together in a studio producing two remarkable records (B.L.T. 1981 and Truce 1982), but the fans had to wait for another 27 years for another meeting of the two titans: It was not until last year that Seven Moons reunited them. The Veterans had formed a power trio; together with drummer Gary Husband (Level 42, Gary Moore, John McLaughlin), they recorded new material, fine bluesrock painted in psychedelic colours und wonderful sounds – a record transporting the living spirit of the creative seventies in to the third millennium.

Seven Moons is the third joint venture of two aged musicians – and it is their masterpiece. A few months later a fansite announced: "Bruce, Trower & Husband to take Seven Moons into orbit! For a few nights only, Robin and Jack will get to play live together for the first time ever in late February 2009." And this is the result. The set even includes a few tunes from Bruce´s famous catalogue – Cream hits “Sunshine Of Your Love” and “White Room“have been remade into something very special and very different here.

Customer Reviews

Classic powertrio
"Seven Moons" is a wonderful album, and we have to be grateful for this chance to hear the songs live. And the live versions only underline the strenght and quality of the compositions.

Jack Bruce, despite his many serious healthproblems, sings with passion and is in a lot better voice than on the legendary Cream reunions ('05). But his bassplaying is certainly a far cry from the expressive and excessive madness of bassvirtuosity he displayed in his youth. Gary Husband handles the drums in expert fashion, as one would expect from this wonderful musician, though his drumming sounds a bit 'stiff' especially in the Cream-classics.

But the real star of the show is Robin Trower, who might never have played better than here. His hendrix-influenced playing really soaring to the heights with immense intensity.

The days when Jack and Robin made musical history may be over, but here they show that they still make relevant music. Hard to find a better powertrio around.

Good Moons!
Great album, this is a real power trio, and one of the best. They played really close here.
The sound is good but not superb. The Cream 2005 reunion was far better in that way (ok musicaly too, but they where The Cream!!!).
Sadly I didn't like too much the mix. Robin's Guitar sounds very dry (a little reverb will be nice), and Jack bass sounds too low, why they cut his high frequencies?
I feel that with a better EQ of the bass this album will sound even more powerfull. Anyway this is a tech mistake, the music is fantastic.
In other way I wish that someday Jack will go back to his wawick fretless.

Gary Husband did a good job, is the perfect drummer for a trio since Baker. Robin played great as usual. Jack too, and is getting better all the time since his illnes. In some songs his voice sounds hurt but at the same time bluesy like never before, I like it.
But also I think that they must have recorded more shows and then select the best takes. That would be less stressful for Jack, specialy for the cream songs... they keep out 'We're going wrong'.

The tracks from Seven Moons are the highlights, the song 'Carmen' is a great surprise, and for me sounds even better than then!!! Some more 'old' songs from Truce & BLT could be amazing played now in that new fresh style!

Well at last this is a GOOD album, and I can't wait to watch the DVD!!!

What's next Mr.Bruce? maybe Leslie West? will be a good choice. You can imagine that?!

...Blues-tinged seventies rock...
It had been nearly thirty years since Jack Bruce and Robin Trower last worked together on "B.L.T." in 1981 and it's follow-up, "Truce", in 1982. But 2008 saw them get back together alongside ex John McLaughlin, Gary Moore and [ssshh] Level 42 drummer Gary Husband. The result was last years "Seven Moons".

It went down well enough for them to head out on a short tour, and this live CD (and accompanying DVD) is the result. "Seven Moons" was exactly the kind of Blues-tinged seventies rock you'd expect from the protagonists, so how you view that style of music and Bruce's declamatory vocals will determine how much you enjoy this.

That being said, Robin Trower is on absolute fire on most of this CD, and it remains a mystery to me why he isn't acknowledged as one of the greats, when lesser guitarists who haven't recorded a worthy lick in 40 years get all the praise. If nothing else, it had me digging out my Trower albums from the seventies, with the late, great James Dewar.

Most of the "Seven Moons" material gets an airing with 'Lives Of Clay' probably the highlight. 'Carmen' from the "B.L.T." album gets a surprise airing, and some of Trowers delicate guitar work is simply breathtaking. Naturally. Bruce churns out a couple of Cream tunes, but luckily, Trower stamps his own style all over them, as he does the whole record. It's not essential, but guitar fans should certainly give it a listen.
