Just heard that Jack Bruce passed. What a fantastic bassist he was! He will be dearly missed."If there's a rock'n'roll heaven..."

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Indeed. Gotta say, even with my infatuation with Buddy Rich and his big band, well... I loved Cream back in the day! Jack Bruce was a HUGE piece of that trio what with his writing credits, bass playing, and of course his vocals. Another one gone. SIGH. In the spirit of celebrating Jack Bruce, here's one from my TOP THREE in the Jack Bruce/Cream catalog. SWLABR, which of interest means: "She Was Like A Bearded Rainbow" . Back when this came out on the Disraeli Gears album, none of us knew what SWLABR meant! Gotta love Jack Bruce!

Thanks for sharing, Tommy. You are so right! Jack played a HUGE part in powering that trio beyond the stars! Simply unbelievable!

Saw Jack play with Ringos All Star band in the late 90's. He was fantastic!!! Grew up hearing Cream as well from my father being a big fan. RIP Jack Bruce

Loved Jack with Cream... "Fresh Cream" was the first "stereo" Lp that I ever owned... at the time we were performing Beatles & Stones but listening to Cream, Floyd etc.. So many classic bass lines came from that man.
I think some of his best playing was early 70's when working with Allan Holdsworth and the Tony Williams Lifetime...
However rumour has it, that it was actually the liver that rejected his body... RIP Jack

Can`t say much more than hasn`t already been said here,Jack was such an inspiration to so many of us on this forum that it kind of ties all of us together even that much more.He was one of those guys that is the reason why we do what we do.His memory will live on forever etched in vinyl wax for future generations to learn from.Thank you Jack for all you have done for the rest of us-a true inspiration...

Steve, you should write a book someday about the shows you have seen. I'd buy it.
p.s. For the record, I was never into the 1910 Fruitgum Co.
