And Clapton Didn't Even Know

Frogman,
I watched the entire documentary on YouTube this morning , and I was transfixed, as well as very sad. I have loved and admired Jack Bruce since my teens, and it was great to hear him tell his life story and hear him play and sing. I once had the pleasure of seeing him play in person when he was part of West Bruce and Laing in 1973. That was a memorable night. A few years ago, they reunited without him, but his son played bass.
To me, he was a consummate musician and artist, and no one can replace him.

Roxy - Amen to that.

I too saw West Bruce and Laing in 1973 in Long Beach.

Here's a partial list of guitarist that Jack Bruce was in bands with:

- John McLaughlin
- Eric Clapton
- Larry Coryell
- Leslie West
- Lou Reed
- Steve Hunter
- Mick Taylor
- Gary Moore
- Clem Clempson
- Robin Trower
- Allan Holdsworth
- Rory Gallagher
- Peter Frampton
- Vernon Reid
- Phil Manzanera

It's an impressive list, but then again, he was Jack Bruce.

BTW, for anyone who watched the documentary, is it my imagination, or was there an uncanny similarity toward the end of his career between the sound of Jack's voice and style and that of Elvis Costello? Wonder if Costello is also a Bruce fan and was influenced by him?
