After Cream broke up, bassist extraordinaire Jack Bruce went on to release Songs for a Tailor, his 1969 solo record. Songs for a Tailor is a stunning collection of brass and bass-led jazz-rock fusion, a sound that traveled (quite) far from the heavy rock sound Bruce was known for in Cream. The songs were co-written with Pete Brown, the poet and lyricist with whom Bruce wrote many of Cream’s most memorable songs.

Below is a live performance of one of the album’s stand-out tracks, Never Tell Your Mother She’s Out of Tune, taken from the documentary Rope Ladder to the Moon. George Harrison actually played guitar on the recorded song, using the same pseudonym he used when he recorded Badge with Cream, “L’Angelo Misterioso.” The studio version can be heard here. (Isn’t Jack Bruce a ringer here for Julian Barratt from The Mighty Boosh?)
