R. I. P. Jack Bruce


Sad news today. Jack Bruce has passed away at age 71.

If not the best, one of the best bass players in history.

Dear Chayro...I've enjoyed your threads, and fine taste, over the many years and am sorry for your loss. Stay strong and concentrate on the good times only.
I was sorry to hear of Jack Bruce's passing. For those who lived through the era who will ever forget the music of Cream?

To you Chayro, my condolences on your loss.
Their Cream Reunion from RA Hall is just freakin great, and Jack Bruce's voice was still strong then thank goodness. I have watched that DVD many times, and each time I realize more just how effective a vocalist he was and how he did all the little things right (i.e. he holds his notes out, he's always spot on intonation-wise, etc.). And bass-wise, like a good drummer, he just disappears into the music, allowing everything to just gelÂ…unlike some more show off types. I think people forgot how good he really was.
