RIP Jack Bruce of Cream
 

Man, we've lost another pioneer.

This sucks. Thanks for the memories and R.I.P.

What a voice and what a bass player. RIP

Legend for sure and his total body of work will be remembered not just his time in Cream.

IMO by miles and miles the best musician in Cream.

Not a big Cream fan but no denying Jack Bruce is one of the most influential and talented bassists to have ever graced the earth. Pretty sad.

I think Eric Clapton is a better musician then Jack Bruce, but throw in Ginger Baker and you do have a awesome power trio!

Yeah, this is a shame, and the guy was only 71. That may seem plenty old enough to some of you, but trust me, when you pass fifty, 71 doesn´t sound so old anymore.

Here´s a fave clip of JB in his prime, showing the power of his live stuff:-



Haven´t followed his post-Cream career, but when by chance I came across his Something Els album (1993), I was agreeably surprised. Some nice jazzy rock and some mellow moments too:-



Any other post-cream recs out there?

RIP, Cream was one of my first musical loves. Why couldn't it have been Clapton?

:laughing:
