Title: Re: Jack Bruce R.I.P. Post by: Lowbacca on October 25, 2014, 09:16:55 AM sh*t............. I got into him only recently. :-\ Loved his LPs Songs for a Tailor, Harmony Row and Things We Like.
Title: Re: Jack Bruce R.I.P. Post by: feelsflow on October 25, 2014, 09:29:47 AM That's terrible. His Songs for a Tailor and Harmony Row are classic records. His input in Cream was why I enjoyed the band, not the endless guitar and drum solos. Always thought they were better in the studio, where Jack could embellish the tracks with piano and string instruments.
Just getting up...I hate shocks like this to wake up to. Especially since it's Saturday. Will surely play some of his music tonight. Rest in Peace brother Jack. You left the world a better musical place. Title: Re: Jack Bruce R.I.P. Post by: PhilSpectre on October 25, 2014, 02:00:37 PM For me, Bruce was the heart and soul of Cream, not Clapton or Baker, vital as they were. Bruce was the main singer, songwriter and bass player, who held it together.
A pioneer of rock bass guitar playing and an underrated vocalist and songwriter/ composer, he went on to a varied career after Cream as a respected composer, blues rock and jazz/ jazz-fusion musician, working with everyone from Leslie West (In West, Bruce and Laing, a kind of early 70s version of Cream), Robin Trower, Bernie Worrell, Vernon Reid, Tony Williams, John McLaughlin, Cindy Blackman, Gary Moore (Baker-Bruce-Moore, effectively a latterday Cream album with Moore instead of Clapton) and many more. I love his Cream song, 'We're Going Wrong'. An underrated rock legend. Title: Re: Jack Bruce R.I.P. Post by: the professor on October 25, 2014, 11:26:17 PM what have eric and ginger said?

Title: Re: Jack Bruce R.I.P. Post by: bluesno1fann on October 27, 2014, 03:21:54 AM Was hit by utter shock when I heard the news. There goes any chance of a future Cream reunion...
R.I.P. Title: Re: Jack Bruce R.I.P. Post by: donald on October 29, 2014, 11:57:14 AM Many people are so indoctrinated in the Clapton lore they don't realize that Jack was the VOICE of the Cream. And clapton never sounded better than when Jack was carrying him along in Cream. I ws amazed when I read how much he had to recover mentally and physically before the Cream reunion. He'd been a very sick boy.
