Can you do a Corporate Gig in a Communist state? Apparently you can! PM's recent gig in Havana was not that much different than what BF has been doing recently for a certain Swiss watch maker. But in Phil's case it was for Cuba's state-controlled cigar industry. Hey, a gig's a gig! And who would turn down a chance to jam a bit with Jack Bruce? Not me...
Here's a clip recently posted on youtube that focuses on how the confab promoted Cuban cigars. There is only a brief visually clip of PM and JB (no audio). But it's enough to document their relationship to the event.

Hmmm. Would BF do Corporate Gig for Cuban Cigars? High-end cigars are certainly the kind of luxury item that BF is well suited to promote. But would he allow himself to be "used" by the Castro Brother's regime. An interesting question... Where does BF the Tory draw the line???
