Jack Bruce Spirit Live at the BBC is a collection of recordings made by the BBC live in concert and live in the studio between 1971 and 1978.
While Jack Bruce is best known as the singer and bass player for blues rock band Cream, in the 1970s he played with the fusion between jazz, blues and rock.
His 1971 In Concert recording has already been released and there is another live album of his 1975 tour with Mick Taylor called Live At Manchester Free Trade Hall 1975. It has another concert recording from 1977.
