Biography

Considered one of the greatest bassists in rock history, Jack Bruce (1943-2014) got his start in Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, where he met Eric Clapton, with whom he formed the powerful Cream trio in 1966. The musician's style, inherited from jazz, then blended with blues and rock played at maximum power, foreshadowing hard rock. In groups with Jack Bruce & Friends, Tony Williams Lifetime and then West, Bruce & Laing and Truce (with Robin Trower), or solo on the albums Songs for a Tailor (1969), Harmony Row (1971) and Out of the Storm (1974), the British bassist multiplied his musical experiments. Rediscovered with A Question of Time (1990), he joined the Tony Williams Lifetime Tribute Band, then recorded his final contribution Silver Rails (2014), before dying of liver cancer on October 25, 2014.
