Jack Bruce, bassist from 1960s band Cream, has died aged 71, his publicist confirms.
Legendary supergroup Cream, which also included Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker, are now considered one of the most important bands in rock history. They sold 35 million albums in just over two years and were given the first ever platinum disc for Wheels of Fire. Bruce wrote and sang most of the songs, including "I Feel Free" and "Sunshine Of Your Love". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-29772926

He was actually an incredible guy. I remember hearing a piece about him on NPR. I will look for it.
No wait, I was thinking about the drummer Ginger Baker. |

Probably the second best bassist to come out of that era, John Entwhistle being the first. Still enjoy their stuff. R.I.P. Jack Bruce.

RIP. The man had a great singing voice as well as being an amazing bassist. You really hit the nail on the head here. Such a supremely talented bassist, and even putting that aside (which is impossible), also a good enough voice to be a lead singer in just about any rock band anywhere. A great loss. So glad Clapton got everybody together one more time, mended fences, made some dough, and let Jack and Ginger see how many of us still appreciated their ground-breaking music. |

Known as a vocalist and bass guitarist, Bruce was also a songwriter, Bruce was trained as a classical cellist, and he considered himself a jazz musician, although much of his catalogue of compositions and recordings tended toward blues and rock and roll.

Thanks for the link to that concert.
Aside from Jack Bruce's passing, I'm sad that Eric Clapton used a Strat in that concert instead of a classic Gibson SG. Humbuckers accommodate Cream's sound far better.
