RIP Jack Bruce

Post by Okudzhava »

"It is with great sadness that we, Jack’s family, announce the passing of our beloved Jack: husband, father, granddad, and all round legend. The world of music will be a poorer place without him, but he lives on in his music and forever in our hearts."

I saw him a couple of years ago in Cardiff. Another legend gone to rock heaven. RIP.

My fave clip, with Jack on piano not bass, singing the self-penned Theme for an Imaginary Western:

When the wagons leave the city
For the forest and further on
Painted wagons of the morning
Dusty roads where they have gone
Sometimes travelling through the darkness
Met the summer coming home
Fallen faces by the wayside
Looked as if they might have known

O the sun was in their eyes
And the desert that dries
In the country towns
Where the laughter sounds

O the dancing and the singing
O the music when they played
O the fires that they started
O the girls with no regret
Sometimes they found it
Sometimes they kept it
Often lost it on the way
Fought each other to possess it
Sometimes died in sight of day

I never saw Cream, but I saw Jack playing live in the early Seventies. Here's Jack on great form in the reunion concert:
