Hello Friends,
We're living in a day and age where our rock star idols are going to all start dying off in non-rock & roll fashion.
Like the rest of us, they're gonna start dropping like flies in hospital rooms (and if we're lucky) surrounded by family and friends.
Jack Bruce, one of rock and roll's greatest bass players, passed away a couple of weeks ago due after losing his battle with liver disease.
In addition to fronting the legendary supergroup trio, Cream, Jack Bruce also played bass for a who's who of rock n roll, ranging from Zappa (Apostrophe) to Lou Reed (Berlin).
Obviously Bruce will be remembered first and foremost as a bassist whose playing style infused rock, jazz, soul and classical influences. The thing we love most about Jack Bruce is his voice on all those great Cream songs. Constrained, dark and ethereal like a confused choir boy who's struggling to sing the blues!
RIP Jack Bruce!
