    Jack was not just a bass player,he was one of the best musicians of the 60's and 70's, he also was one off the best songwriters. People don't realize the songs that he wrote that other artists had hits with. RIP JACK

      Also a great voice, guesting on recordings by Kip Hanrahan, Carla Bley, Michael Mantler, Gary Moore, Mark Nauseef, Tony Williams, etc. Curious, could you name some of these songs he wrote that were hits for other artists?

    Nice to hear Ginger Baker pay tribute to Jack Bruce, after the well documented conflicts between them, over the years. As one who grew up in the 1960s, I still feel Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton, jamming intense blues, is as compelling as any music I've heard during my 67 years of life.

      I totally agree with you. There were other great players John Bonham being one of them but Ginger was a force of nature! Kind of like comparison between Clapton and Hendrix. Clapton was off the hook man no one better, except Jimi who like Ginger Baker was a force of nature. I'm the same age as you and have been playing the guitar since age 9 after seeing the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. I feel so fortunate to have grown up and come of age during that musically rich time period. Nothing digitized, no pitch correction, all analogue and all true spirit and feeling.

      @@Jakal-pw8yq Amen brother 👍🏻 I remember when I first took up the guitar, there were zero resources to draw from, at least where I lived. So I took to the library and checked out an old Mel Bay book of some kind. It just showed how to get your chords and what not. I worked on just learning chords night and day and didn’t know anything about barre chords, along with playing the same chord in different locations of the neck. I just had to listen to my Beatle and Cream records and just used my ears to guide me. I can’t imagine having the internet as a resource, but in some ways I’m sort of glad I didn’t. It forced me to really rely on my ear.
      I really loved Jimi Hendrix and do agree he was just brilliant. But I still just preferred Eric during that small time when Cream were a live band. I still think that when Cream were in the zone, they were just untouchable live. Some of their jams were just amazing and Eric played some of the most incredible stuff I’ve ever heard. I think I preferred his tone and (outside of the wah pedal) unprocessed raw sound. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Jimi and his sound, but I it’s just a matter of personal taste I suppose. I continued to follow and enjoy Eric throughout the years, but I was disappointed in his laid back approach in style and tone after Cream. When he was playing that SG through a Marshall…man that was magic. It would have been so wonderful had we not lost Jimi so early and tragically. I often wonder what he would have evolved into. Sadly we’ll never know, but I’m certain it would have been incredible! Happy New Year!🙏👍🏻

  • @PhillipLandmeier
    @PhillipLandmeier 5 років тому +7

    66 years old here, musician since childhood, classically trained. Rock and blues came rather slowly to me, my focus was mainly classical in the 1960s. There were two bands or acts that woke me up to rock and blues. The first was Booker T and the MG's. The second was Cream. Spoonful was the first blues tune that I really paid attention to. And Crossroads finally turned my full attention to rock. I still think that Cream's rendition of Crossroads is the hottest thing ever recorded -- it's white hot blues/rock.
    At that time, Ginger Baker was considered the greatest rock drummer in the world by every musician I knew and myself. This was a given, not even open to discussion unless you wanted to be laughed at.
    Even greater rock drummers came after, but Ginger Baker was the first to set the bar, and he set it very high.

But fastforward to my 20s, saw the "Shadows in the air" album and the name :Jack Bruce. -ahhh that guy from Cream!. Heard Out Into The Fields and was hooked! Bought every record he did and more. For me as a amateur Singer, Jacks singing was/is a big inspiration/goal. But off course i love hos playing on bass /piano/ cello. Today i have one of the biggest Jack Bruce collections in Scandinavia. Thanks Jack and thanks Ginger för staying human

    The fist time I heard Cream I knew they were something special. Then the Farewell Concert came and I was crushed. I still followed all three.

    Ginger Baker is, bar none, the greatest drummer ever. And Jack was one slamming bassist, composer, performer. It has been an honor and a privilege to be alive at the same time when these men were performing.

    Ginger Baker: a drummer who inspired a generation. This man is as remarkable behind a kit of drums as Pele is behind a soccer ball or Michael Jordan with a basketball in hand. Ginger's talent is inestimable, his influence on rock-and-roll, blues-based rock, and jazz impossible ever to measure, or to exceed. May he live to be 100 (he will be 80 in 2019!), and may he be happy, and healthy, and pounding those skins forever!

    Heartwarming to see. Jack and Ginger were like siblings , they fought and made up. Ive NEVER read any interview where any of the two talked sh-t about one and other, only maybe "Well you known Ginger -that-" or "Jack -that-" but never any cross words. You may search and see. And that tells me that they respected each other and knew that their chemistry was Special.
