So Sad____ I really liked so much of his work. I think that there is so much of his post Cream work that I have heard that really resonated with me . His album collaboration with Ellen McIlwaine (Everybody needs it ) in 1982 was spectacular. In particular his fretless work on Hang On To A Dream on that Album was wonderful . He was still to young to leave us _____ . He was most definitely a guy that I listened to and learned from . I send my love and respect _____.

Another one of the greats is now gone. I still remember excitedly first listening to Disraeli Gears as a 13 year old.

May the Four Winds Blow You Safely Home.

Bill, tgo

Jack was a significant influence on my playing.
Peace, love and prayers to those he leaves behind.
May God bless you Jack and hold you close.
For me and many, this is indeed a sad day.

Thanks for posting this.

For me, Cream was a major turning point in the music. The three of them created something extraordinarily new; and that music influenced not only my music, but, as a major influence on the culture, my life as well. And for that, I am very grateful. Thank you Jack.

Another legend passes on to a better place.

Thank you Jack for the incredible body of music that you left to human kind. You will certainly be missed, but never forgotten.

oh crap.
Not what I was expecting to see when I came to the site.

Sitting here at work with tears in my eyes.

Legacy indeed, legendary bassist and vocalist. Thank you Jack for the inspiration. . . and the beauty of your skills.

Out into the fields, Jack, you go flying. Go on and keep flying. . .

shit :.-(

Perhaps my first influence.... Jack, you will be missed mightily, brother.

He was the reason I became a bassist, and probably influenced my playing more than anyone else. Lost a lot of musical heroes, but i'm feeling this more than most.

Dammit.

When I heard the news I also thought about this group of musicians --
....Come on home
All those promises
That we drove
Together
With nowhere to go
Well we started out so fine
Now the flame is all but dying
Ooh, waiting on a word... ~ 'Waiting on a Word' ~ Jack Bruce
