The rock band BBM was a short-lived British supergroup .

history

The letters stand for the last names of the three band members Jack Bruce , Ginger Baker and Gary Moore . The band delivered blues rock in the style of the group Cream , only Eric Clapton had been replaced by Gary Moore. However, the band only came about by chance. Originally, Gary Moore wanted to record a solo album with Jack Bruce and drummer Gary Husband from Level 42 . After recording the two tracks "Blues for Narada" and "With Love (Remember)" (both songs were released on Moore's 1994 solo album Ballads & Blues ), Husband had no time for further collaboration. Jack Bruce then contacted his old bandmate Ginger Baker, as Baker, Bruce and Moore had previously played together at a Jack Bruce anniversary concert. Now that 2/3 of Cream were together again, the solo project was converted into a band project.

The band's studio album was released in 1994 under the name Around the Next Dream and reached number 9 on the UK album charts. There were also some live concerts, including at the Schüttorf Open Air . The song "One Day" was not included on the album because the band said there were enough ballads already there. Instead, Moore released the BBM song in the same year under his own name as a single and on the solo album Ballads & Blues .

In 1998 Bruce, Husband and Moore started working together. Together they recorded the Jack Bruce video The Cream of Cream , which contains six new recordings of old Cream classics. The three of them also appeared as a trio in the same year on the Gary Husband video Interplay and Improvisation on the Drums and in 2002 on the album From Clarksdale to Heaven - a John Lee Hooker tribute - and gave several concerts in England.

Jack Bruce said in an interview in 2001 that the band was able to show their strengths especially in the live area and that he would plan a second album together with Moore.
