===1990s=== Bruce played at the [[Montreux Jazz Festival]] in 1990, and was invited by the Irish [[blues rock]] performer [[Rory Gallagher]] (who had a long-standing relationship with Bruce, having supported Cream's farewell concert in the band [[Taste (Irish band)|Taste]] in 1968) to perform a couple of songs together on stage. In 1991 he was one of the supporting musicians for [[Vivian Stanshall]]'s solo show "Rawlinson Dog-ends", but quit over a lack of adequate rehearsals.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vivarchive.org.uk/live.htm |title=Vivian's Live performances |access-date=2015-07-25 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150808080911/http://www.vivarchive.org.uk/live.htm |archive-date=8 August 2015 |df=dmy-all}}</ref> On April 25, 1991, Bruce performed with [[Uli Jon Roth]], [[Simon Phillips (drummer)|Simon Phillips]], [[Randy Hansen]], [[John Wetton]], [[Zeno Roth]], and others at E-Werk in Cologne, Germany. This performance featured a tribute to [[Jimi Hendrix]], and a concert video of 22 tracks was released on Laserdisc in 1994 as "The Spirit of Jimi Hendrix Live in Concert" in Japan. In 1993, a solo album, ''[[Somethin Els]]'', reunited him with Eric Clapton and brought belated, but widespread, critical acclaim.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jackbruce.com/2008/Music/Albums/somethin_els.htm |title=Jack Bruce official website β Somethin Els (1993) |publisher=Jack Bruce Music |access-date=15 February 2012}}</ref> Later that year, Ginger Baker and a host of former Bruce band colleagues joined him for two special 50th birthdays concerts in Cologne, Germany, hosted by the TV show [[Rockpalast]]. Selections from these were released as the live double CD ''[[Cities of the Heart]]'', and much later as the DVD set ''Rockpalast: The 50th Birthdays Concerts''. One special guest was the Irish blues-rock guitarist [[Gary Moore]], who joined Bruce and Baker for a set of Cream classics. Inspired by this performance, the three formed the power trio [[Bruce-Baker-Moore|BBM]] and their subsequent (and only) album, ''Around the Next Dream'', was a top ten hit in the UK.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> However, the old arguments between Bruce and Baker arose again, and the subsequent tour was cut short and the band broke up. A low-key solo album, ''[[Monkjack]]'', followed in 1995, featuring Bruce on piano and vocals, accompanied only by the Funkadelic [[organ (music)|organist]] [[Bernie Worrell]]. Bruce then began work producing and arranging the soundtrack to the independently produced Scottish film ''[[The Slab Boys]]'', with; [[Lulu (singer)|Lulu]], [[Edwyn Collins]], [[Eddi Reader]] and [[the Proclaimers]]. The soundtrack album appeared in 1997. In 1997 he returned to touring as a member of [[Ringo Starr]]'s [[Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band|All-Starr Band]], which also featured [[Peter Frampton]] on guitar. At the gig in Denver, Colorado, the band was joined onstage by Ginger Baker, and Bruce, Baker and Frampton played a short set of Cream classics. Bruce continued to tour with Starr through 2000.
