I just saw that Jack Bruce has died. I saw Cream at the Albert Hall and Madison Square Garden and he plays some great lines, as well as having a great voice. He wrote some great music, sorry to see him go, but he didn't look well at the Cream concerts and they were nearly 10 years ago.

Yes - very sad. I was a big Cream fan. To me it was a classic case of "Better Together". Although EC went on to great things I always felt he lost the energy/fire he had in Cream/Bluesbreakers - Jack and Ginger seemed to push him to give his best.

Very sad. I did bump into him once and had a brief chat and he was very pleasant to an irritating little sod like me.

Definitely - Cream were one of the best examples of creative friction!!!
I've always loved his music, his playing, everything.

Yes, very sad news. I'll remember him not only for Cream but also for the albums he did with two of my heroes, Robin Trower and Leslie West.

+1 to all of that.
RIP Jack.

Sad to hear this too. I had heard stories of ill health for years, and of course we all get caught in the end. He leaves a fine legacy.

I saw Leslie West with Corky Laing and Jack Bruce's son (billed as Bruce Junior) a couple of years ago. Not the same thing at all!

Still, a cool act to have seen! To be honest even the original West Bruce & Laing was a lot less than the sum of its parts. But I do have a sentimental attachment to those albums.

I'll miss not being run down by Jack speeding in his Bentley on a weekly basis - my girlfriend lives in the same remote village where Jack lived and he had a tendency to tear through the village in his car.
I was aware that he'd been very poorly of late, and am sad to hear that he passed away. My thoughts are with his wife Margrit and the family .

I hadn't listened to Cream for a long time but my current band plays White Room and Sunshine (my suggestions) and those songs go down a storm with all ages. They both have a strange, hypnotic quality that is timeless. Playing Sunshine with a drummer doing Ginger's part properly sends me into a trance. What a great band and such a wonderful meeting of three musical minds.
