Alan Esdaile… God, not another one. The Cream music was a very important part of my teenage years .R.I.P. Jack.
Jane Hartley… Just heard it, no more please, rip jack
Colin Norton… Sad news indeed! RIP Jack.
John Storer… Very sad news. I was only listening to the third album he did with Robin Trower a few days ago. “Seven Moons” came out in, I think, 2008 and both musicians are on top form for it. Highly recommended
Dennis Torrance… Dont know if I can take anymore bad news
Andy Qunta… Jack Bruce – one of the very best!
Sarah Harvey… Oh dear not another legendary musician! 🙁
Patrick Lewis… So sad. Great musician – Wheels of Fire a great legacy of his musicianship. RIP
Graham Belchamber… Just recently I got the remasterered Songs for a Tailorman, I remember Alan Freeman playing Theme from an Imaginary Western on Radio London many many years sgo and then buying a cassette of the album. Bedsit life with no TV in 1980! Sad news today.
Chris Sambrook… Very sad to hear about Jack Bruce. As a school boy in the mid 60′s growing up with the Yardbirds, Clapton is God and all that, Jack Bruce made the bass guitar his own. When you add to the mix of Clapton and Ginger Baker, i.e. the Cream of musicians, they became the bench mark, especially live. Crossroads became there own song written by Robert Johnson. Rest in Peace Jack Bruce.
Dave Nattress… Jack’s passing is a great loss and it’s certainly taken the shine off my Saturday night. Back in the day – 68 and 69 at school, Cream was the band. You know, when someone goes that OK, wasn’t a relative or close friend, or friend even, but was someone who was so important in your life, just because you admired their music from afar, it takes away a bit of your own life too. I always feel this. Now there goes a bit more. RIP Jack. Will be listening to my old and rather newer Cream stuff tonight. Got some good DVD’s also. Great Bass Player, Great Vocalist, Great Writer. Can here those Bass notes at the start of “Badge” right now. In fact it’s on now……
Philip John… DAMN !
Samuel Freeman… RIP jack one of the greats
Mick O’Dowd… Not a good time to be a star in your 70’s. Great loss.
