Jack
Bruce
Music |
|
One
critic wrote about Jack "Let's not beat around the
bush here. Jack Bruce is simply the greatest blues /
rock bassist that ever walked the face of this
planet". Few people are praised in this way but many
believe Jack deserves it. During the 1960s he
served an apprenticeship in a variety of bands
before joining the super-group Cream who went
on to sell 35 millions records! |
