Last night in Los Angeles, the groundbreaking blues power trio Cream received the Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards. With Eric Clapton otherwise unavailable and Ginger Baker unable to make the trip from South Africa, bassist Jack Bruce accepted the honor on behalf of the legendary sixties group.

Cream commandeered headlines in 2005 with two sets of reunion shows at London's Royal Albert Hall and New York City's Madison Square Garden. Bruce announced yesterday that Cream will reunite again for a series of shows in select cities. "We will play more, but where and when I'm not at liberty to say," announced Bruce. When pressed, Bruce jokingly avoided providing further details, claiming he would "get chopped" if he said more.
