All that so called God Eric Clapton did after cream was an extreme disappointment. He went from being at that time the worlds finest most exciting guitarist to mr slow hand hillbilly hick! You can't blame Hendrix for dephroning him. The fact is Jack Bruce wrote most of creams material and those three albums were the pinnacle of Eric's career, so really without Jack Eric would not have the so called God status he has! Ginger was the worlds finest drummer going back to his jazz big band days. Cream were brilliant and Jack was an accomplished musician on bass cello and piano. Cream was jacks band.
@@marcillioficino4663 As do I. People somehow often don't recognise this. Thats said, he and Ginger Baker were the drivers and Clapton wah-wah'd over it now and then. But take Bruce and Baker out of it and Clapton would have nothing to have splattered his bits onto.
For anyone who is going to make a negative comment.... His intonation alone on a fretless bass is something of a gift. Ive been playing fretless for 30 years and its a neat thing that he is RIGHT ON when most other bassists in this class would have a very hard time fingering the correct note.
good god, another "music theory" guy talking about intonation and fingering the correct note. Hey alpha, do you even rock and roll? it's a feeling not a theory.
This is from a performance of Ringo's "All-Starr Band", 1997, Pine Knob Music Theatre, Clarkston Michigan. On drums, Simon Kirke, Gary Brooker, piano, Peter Frampton, guitar, & Mark Rivera, sax(& more). I was there to witness all these storied players playing their own, plus, each other's music. Bruce's contributions that night were legendary, including "Theme For An Imaginary Western, performed only by Jack, at the piano. We all knew they would play "Sunshine Of Your Love", but it was a real surprise when Jack went all the way back to '66 with "I Feel Free".
Always loved the fretless bass. A lot of fretless bass players sound timid; Jack was fearless. At times he seemed to wander on the neck, but really it was intense and intentional. What a gifted player.
Can you believe Clapton preferred Nathan East. Not only was Jack the original, could play any style including classical, he had a golden voice. Love his musicianship!
NO ONE WAS CLOSE TO JACK BRUCE AS A BASS PLAYER.....NO FRETS ON HIS GUITAR EITHER THERE ARE REALLY GOOD BASS PLAYERS.....THEN THERE IS JACK BRUCE ..A REALLY GREAT BASS PLAYER...PEACE
I CAN TELL YOU ARE NOT A BASS PLAYER WITH YOUR WEAK ASS STATEMENT" OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE NOT STUDIED ENOUGH BASS TO KNOW Too Better' BLESS YOUR HEART You Dumb Ass .
Not easy to play fretless, and he did. One of the ones who could play his bass and tune his voice as an only instrument. Jack ! ... You know what ?, we're all still flying in the air with you. WE ALL MISS YOU ! RIP Jack ! Let dislikes commit their "DJs' own" musical Shhhhhht" (Easy to move the ass while pressing a switch, and remember..... something else is to play an instrument and smile at the same time....) From France, Long Live Rock n' Roll !
sitting in a station wagon from California and my best friends cousins were visiting from California. it was 1968 and we did up a number and they put on "Wheels of Fire. I could not believe what I was hearing. Jack Bruce opened the door for bass players. no one could play like him. no one!! such awesome talent! 🎸🎶
To me there is nothing impressive about any of this. There are 2 bass players off the top of my head that blow away this guy. Billy Sheehan and Geddy Lee.
Jack Bruce Les Claypool Chris Squire Geddy Lee Jaco Pastorius Noel Redding John Entwisle Cliff Burton Geezer Butler John Paul Jones John Taylor Flea Roger Glover Billy Sheehan Bill Wyman Feel free to add on...

Superb playing. Ferocious stuff. Brilliantly constructed. JB quotes opening 2 phrases to "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" (Charles Mingus) starting at 0:35. Also "Burning of the Midnight Lamp (Hendrix) later on.
He came to Detroit with his band in 1989, with Ginger Baker on drums. I never saw CREAM, but seeing that rhythm section playing together was still a major thrill. The first set was mostly songs from a recently released CD, plus some of Jack's solo material. They took a break, then the rest of night was all CREAM songs, including the famous "Toad", featuring Ginger and his 100 arms & legs. The keyboardist that night was Bernie Worrell(RIP), from P-Funk. All of this in a club that probably held, maximum, 500 people, making it seem more like a hall party than a concert.
My favorite Jack solo is still the one he plays in Frank Zappa's Apostrophe instrumental, but most of all Jack was a fantastic composer, I miss him a lot
Jack thought that his work on Apostrophe wasn't good at all. My friend and I looked at him, our faces showing total surprise and disbelief.......we then told him it was awesome. well, he didn't think that was his style of playing so he didn't like it......we assured him that it was incredible........wish he was still with us..........
Cream was "Jack Bruce and a couple decent backup guys". Saw Cream 3 times in their favorite venue, the Grande Ballroom, deetroit. Also saw Jack & Ginger play a bowling alley bar (years late) in Roseville Michigan.
During the tour, Jack Bruce during this song used also to play "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye [Steam song]" and Politician [Cream song]. I'm sue he also played other songs, I have several audio from the tour, if some people wants to help to identify what jack played on the other song and also Gary Brooker that got a solo . Thanks
A lot of Bass instructors would say "don't pluck so hard, it sounds terrible" Lol. Yeah well I rarely listened to my teacher Jack Bruce would probably say.
I realize this is an old YT posting but my personal observations on JB. Saw him twice with West, Bruce & Laing. Bruce was definitely a best seen live bassist. His speed and fills were amazing. One of the reasons I picked up the bass. (My first was an EB3.) He was a monster player. WBL such a great great event.
Playing a fretless bass, cool. Can someone educate me on the merits of playing a fretless bass? Does it produce a unique sound? Is it easier or more difficult to play? Pro’s and con’s?
The greatest there was, is, an always will be, Jack Bruce. I bet girls loved the way Jack played them as well. I also bet he could get them off faster then they could say "CREAM."
your comment is Puerile and offensive towards the females, your mother would not be happy with your attitude.So talk about Music and do not be such an Arse in the Future
WOW!?! 2:57-3:27 is Jimi's "burning of the midnight lamp" from the electric ladyland album...that was an inspiring bass jam, like the earth moving 🌎
It’s Jack Casady playing bass on Voodoo Child with Steve Winwood on organ, Mitch Mitchell on drums and Jimi on guitars, right?
Yep I'm heard that too...amazing
@@AlvisCSmith -if the liner notes, i think thats what i remember them sayin🤔
Jack took bass playing to a whole new level RIP Jack you are missed.
Without Jack, there would have been no Cream.
Without a brain I'd be you

Ringo Star is chugging away at the drums on this clip. If you watch closely, the cameraman makes a point of shooting him.
Always loved the fretless bass. A lot of fretless bass players sound timid; Jack was fearless. At times he seemed to wander on the neck, but really it was intense and intentional. What a gifted player.
The fact that he's playing a fretless bass is less surprising to me (a noob to Jack Bruce) when you find out he used to play the cello.
im a guitar player but he's my fav cream member
Can you believe Clapton preferred Nathan East. Not only was Jack the original, could play any style including classical, he had a golden voice. Love his musicianship!
I think Nathan East is much better.
@@phillippasteur3904 Nathan is great , but no one on the planet could match old Jack .
Jack is playing Hendrix riffs here . He was a classicly trained cellist . Played
double bass in Jazz clubs as a kid .
His voice made Cream.
It's just like how George Harrison preferred Klaus Voorman over Paul McCartney as a bass player. Guitarists just don't like overpowering bass players
NO ONE WAS CLOSE TO JACK BRUCE AS A BASS PLAYER.....NO FRETS ON HIS GUITAR EITHER

That little burst alone showed how when it came to bass guitaring he was the best out there.
Best bass player ever no questions asked
YOU DON'T PLAY BASS THEN
John Entwistle is better
Truth is Victor Wooten is number 1..... his dynamics are unmatched
You've never seen Billy sheehan.
To me there is nothing impressive about any of this. There are 2 bass players off the top of my head that blow away this guy. Billy Sheehan and Geddy Lee.
Absolute Magic! 1/3rd of the holy trinity
One of my all-time favorite voices in all of rockdom, too.
The Scotsman be giving that funky fretless German instrument a friggin' floggin'! Kudos!
Jack Bruce could get all sorts of unique sounds out of his Warwick -- just watch his right hand! He was extremely intense too.
Trivia: after jack's performance the authorities were waiting for him to arrest him, aparently that bass was only 16 year old
Good one!
I love how he ends up playing burning of the midnight lamp near the end
0:43 Ringo?
ha! same bass he threw 40 feet across the studio when we were rehearsing for Ohnefilter in Germany!!
Amazing. Care to tell the story?

So many bassists over the years would not be bassists if not for jack bruce
The fretless bass is just taking the piss. Rip jb 🤘
Thanks so much for share...Great Jack Bruce...mice
There is a hendrix tribute there. Burning of the midnight lamp. From the electric ladyland album. I am glad I am not the only one who noticed
Best ever by miles,thanks Jack.
Goodbye porkpie hat at 00:36
"Burning Of The Midnight Lamp"(J. Hendrix) at 2:57
Wonderful. My idol too :-)
x2
Just about the best there ever was
I would have LOVED to see him solo when he was back in his prime. I'll bet his hands could just FLY all over that short scale EB3 of his.
I did, and you're right.
I saw him in 1975; awesome.
He came to Detroit with his band in 1989, with Ginger Baker on drums.

A tribute to Mingus. GBPPH Is a Charles Mingus Song dedicated to the Great Lester Young, useful to wear that so called hat by wich the nickname

Damn,Jack kicks ass
Rest in Peace Jack, you were fucking awesome.
The God of Bass. That's why he uses..just his one index finger!!!
Motown bassist James Jamerson, who he admired a lot, is someone who did that as well.
BULL SHIT
Wow, this is a pretty fun solo to listen to.
Monstruoso lição de como se deve tocar um contrabaixo 👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🇧🇷

This guy was the king on bass. Entwhistle and McCartney are a distant second and third.
Is that Ringo on the kit?

First time I’ve ever heard a Jeff Beck guitar part played on bass, and Jack pulls it off.

Hi What pedals Jack Bruce is using ? Thanks
Freakin' amazing bassist. Wish I played 1/10 as well
Good bye pork pie hat at 0:35😅
The main riff from Do You Feel Like I Do sounds suspiciously like Peter's old Humble Pie bandmate's Tin Soldier.

How do you get that accurate with a fretless?!
No disrespect to JB who truly was a great , but it's a little wayward (i.e INaccurate) in places.
EASY
He was a classically trained cellist
You can see how Geddy Lee modelled his style on Bruce.
Fretless no less
Listening to Jack's solo was like a fun, enjoyable trance of hydroplaning barefeet.
Fretless people fretless!
