Jack Bruce was a Scottish bassist, singer, and songwriter best known for his work with the power trio Cream. Born in Glasgow in 1943, Bruce began playing bass at a young age and quickly developed a reputation as a virtuoso. He joined Cream in 1966, alongside guitarist Eric Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker, and the band quickly became one of the most successful and influential rock groups of all time. After Cream disbanded in 1968, Bruce embarked on a successful solo career, releasing several albums and collaborating with a wide range of musicians. He also formed the band West, Bruce & Laing with Leslie West and Corky Laing, and later played with the reunited Cream in 2005. Bruce passed away in 2014 at the age of 71, leaving behind a legacy as one of the greatest bassists in rock history.
