† Am 25. Oktober 2014, ist auch schon wieder ein Jahr her, starb John Symon Asher „Jack“ Bruce (* 14. Mai 1943 in Bishopbriggs, Schottland). Mit einer der größten Bassisten, wie auch Chris Squire (†)!!!
Beide wurden in unserer Presse mit nichtAchtung bedacht. Heute frage ich mich dann schon, wer z.Z. bekannter ist: Cream oder Yes!!! Nixdestotrotz, ich war & bin nie ein CreamFan geworden, YesFan schon, das müßte eigentlich jedem hier bekannt sein!
Ich werde hier in diesem Thread nicht um Cream herum kommen, wenn ich das künstlerische Schaffen eines Jack Bruce beleuten will & ich hoffe, das es auch für mich Neues & Interessantes geben wird; also dann:

Leben:

Jugend:
Bruce erhielt als 17-Jähriger ein Stipendium für Cello und Komposition an der Royal Scottish Academy Of Music. Seine frühen Interessen galten der schottischen Folklore, dem Jazz und Bach. Auf Grund der Tatsache, dass man als Cellist in einer Jazzband weniger gefragt ist, wechselte er zum Kontrabass. Er spielte dieses Instrument dann in der Scotstoun Jazzband. Seine Art, Bass zu spielen, profitierte von seiner (abgebrochenen) klassischen Ausbildung auf dem Cello. Von ihm stammt der Ausspruch, Johann Sebastian Bach habe die besten Bassläufe aller Zeiten geschrieben.

Werdegang:
Bruce suchte Anfang der 1960er Jahre Kontakt zur britischen Bluesszene. Er spielte bei Mike Taylor, in Alexis Korners Blues Incorporated, der Graham Bond Organization, zu der er bereits eigene Songs beisteuerte, John Mayalls Bluesbreakers und der Manfred Mann Combo, bevor er 1966 zusammen mit Eric Clapton und Ginger Baker Cream bildete. Er hatte in der damals neuartigen Power-Trio-Besetzung die zentrale Rolle des Bassisten und Leadsängers und zudem des Komponisten der meisten Songs. Texte steuerte der englische Beat-Dichter (und später auch Rockmusiker) Pete Brown bei. Die Zeit mit Cream war es auch, die den Ruf von Jack Bruce als außerordentlichem Musiker begründete. Ähnlich wie zur selben Zeit auch sein Kollege John Entwistle (The Who) arbeitete er darauf hin, den Bass innerhalb des Bandgefüges der Lead-Gitarre gleichzustellen. Der Jack-Bruce-Sound ist knurrig und aggressiv. Sein Markenzeichen waren lange, auf seinem Gibson EB-3-Bass vorgetragene Improvisationen in Interaktion mit den anderen Musikern, bei denen gelegentlich kaum noch zu unterscheiden war, welche Teile von Bruce und welche vom Gitarristen Clapton stammten. Bruce hat später scherzhaft behauptet, sie hätten damals so lange improvisiert, dass er am Ende des Solos Schwierigkeiten hatte, sich zu erinnern, welchen Song sie gerade spielten („… we’d get to the end of a long improv and I’d be wracking my brain to remember what the song was!“).

Nach der Auflösung von Cream Ende 1968 arbeitete Bruce mit dem New Jazz Orchestra, Tony Williams’ Lifetime, Mike Gibbs, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Larry Coryell und weiteren Kollegen aus dem Jazzbereich, so mit Carla Bley als Sänger und Bassist im Jazz-Oratorium Escalator over the Hill und für einige Konzerte auch mit Ian Carrs Nucleus. Von 1972 bis 1973 spielte er gemeinsam mit den Ex-Mountain-Musikern Leslie West (Gitarre) und „Corky“ Laurence Gordon Laing (Schlagzeug) in der Hard-Rock-Gruppe West, Bruce & Laing, die drei Alben veröffentlichte. Er brachte einige Soloalben heraus, darunter Songs For A Tailor (mit Mitspielern wie Chris Spedding, Jon Hiseman, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Harry Beckett und George Harrison), Harmony Row und Out Of The Storm. Anfang 1977 stellte er mit Tony Hymas, Simon Phillips und Hughie Burnd die Jack Bruce Band zusammen und brachte mit dieser Formation das Album How’s Tricks heraus. 1980 versuchte Keith Emerson, eine Band mit Bruce und dem südafrikanischen Sänger und Gitarristen Trevor Rabin zusammenzubringen, der Versuch scheiterte allerdings, da Rabin sich für ein Projekt mit dem Bassisten Chris Squire und dem Schlagzeuger Alan White entschied, aus dem später eine neue Yes-Besetzung entstand. Im selben Jahr trat die neu gegründete Formation Jack Bruce & Friends (Clem Clempson, Billy Cobham und David Sancious) unter anderem bei der 7. Rockpalast Nacht in Essen auf.

Für die zwei Alben B.L.T. und Truce spielte Bruce 1981 mit Robin Trower zusammen. In den Jahren 1982 und 1983 war die Jan Hammer Band mit Carsten Bohn, Jack Bruce und Colin Hodgkinson auf Tournee in den USA und Europa. 1994 erschien das Album Around The Next Dream unter der Bandbezeichnung BBM, das er zusammen mit Ginger Baker und Gary Moore eingespielt hatte. Später war er an unterschiedlichen Projekten von Kip Hanrahan beteiligt und spielte auch in der Charlie Watts Bigband und in Ringo Starrs All-Starr Band.

Im Sommer 2003 wurde bei Bruce Leberkrebs diagnostiziert. Im September starb er beinahe bei einer Lebertransplantation, da er sich in erschöpftem Zustand noch eine Lungenentzündung zugezogen hatte. Im Oktober trat Besserung ein und im Jahr 2005 war die Gesundheit des Musikers so stabil, dass er im Mai an mehreren Reunion Concerts in der Londoner Royal Albert Hall teilnehmen konnte, bei denen er zusammen mit Eric Clapton und Ginger Baker in der Originalbesetzung von Cream die Klassiker des seinerzeit als erste Supergroup des Rock gefeierten Trios spielte. Von diesen Konzerten gibt es einen repräsentativen Querschnitt auf DVD (mit aktuellen Interviews). 2006 sang er auf dem Jazzfestival in Frankfurt am Main seine Songs mit der hr-Bigband.

Er war mit seiner Managerin Margrit Bruce, die aus Schwaben stammt, verheiratet. Die beiden hatten zwei Töchter und einen Sohn und lebten auf La Palma sowie in der Nähe von London, wo er am 25. Oktober 2014 im Alter von 71 Jahren an den Folgen des Leberleidens starb. †

Cream-Musiker: Bass-Legende Jack Bruce ist tot
Bassist Jack Bruce: Legende des Jazz und Blues

Er inspirierte Jimi Hendrix, spielte mit Eric Clapton in der Supergroup Cream - und verkaufte 35 Millionen Platten in zwei Jahren. Jetzt ist der Bassist Jack Bruce mit 71 Jahren gestorben.

London - Der Sänger, Bassist und Komponist Jack Bruce ist tot. Er starb im Alter von 71 Jahren im englischen Suffolk an einem Leberleiden, wie seine Familie und seine Managerin am Samstag mitteilten. Der Brite spielte in den Sechzigerjahren zusammen mit Gitarrist Eric Clapton und Schlagzeuger Ginger Baker in der Band Cream, die bis zu ihrer Auflösung 1968 rund 35 Millionen Alben verkaufte.

Bruce schrieb und sang die meisten Lieder der Gruppe, darunter "I Feel Free", "White Room", "Politician" und "Sunshine of Your Love". Die Familie nehme mit großer Trauer Abschied von "unserem geliebten Jack: Ehemann, Vater, Großvater und Legende", schrieb die Familie des Musikers auf dessen Website: "Die Welt der Musik wird ärmer sein ohne ihn, aber er lebt in seiner Musik weiter und für immer in unseren Herzen."

Bruce kam 1943 im schottischen Glasgow zur Welt. Seine Eltern reisten viel, sodass er schon als Kind unter anderem Kanada und die USA bereiste und binnen weniger Jahre 14 verschiedene Schulen besuchte. Bereits als 16-Jähriger verließ er seine schottische Heimat und zog nach London, wo er Teil der Band Alexis Korner's Blues Inc. wurde - deren Schlagzeuger Charlie Watts spielte später bei den Rolling Stones.

Zusammenarbeit mit Frank Zappa und Lou Reed

1966 gründete der Jazz- und Blues-Musiker zusammen mit Clapton und Baker Cream. 1968, nach zwei äußerst erfolgreichen Jahren, löste die Gruppe sich auf. Nach einem Konzert im Jahr 1993 standen die drei Musiker im Mai 2005 in London ein letztes Mal gemeinsam auf der Bühne.

Bruce arbeitete in den Jahren nach dem Welterfolg mit Cream mit Musikern wie Frank Zappa und Lou Reed zusammen und war Mitglied von Ringo Starrs All-Starr Band. Etliche bedeutende Musiker coverten Songs, die Bruce für Cream geschrieben hatte - unter anderem Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie and Ella Fitzgerald.

Zuletzt kehrte er im Jahr 2000 ins Studio zurück und nahm sein Soloalbum "Shadows in the Air" auf. Wenig später diagnostizierten Ärzte bei ihm Krebs, woraufhin Bruce sich 2003 einer Lebertransplantation unterzog.

Spirit - live @ the BBC 1971-1978

Rezension
Die britische Musikgeschichte ist ohne den Schotten Jack Bruce nicht zu denken. In den Sechzigern zupfte er seinen Bass für John Mayall's Bluesbreakers und Manfred Mann, mit Eric Clapton und Ginger Baker gründete er im Jahr 1966 die legendären Cream. Seit den Siebzigern tritt er vor allem unter eigenen Namen auf. Mit Gary Moore spielte er den Blues, mit John McLaughlin Freejazz, auch dem durchgeknallten Zappa spendierte er ein paar seiner außergewöhnlichen Bassriffs. Und hört man heute die alten Aufnahmen wie Smiles & Grins oder We're Going Wrong weiß man: Wenn der Brite Paul Weller der Großvater des Britpop ist, dann ist Jack Bruce der Urgroßvater von Oasis, Blur und Konsorten. Die britische Musikgeschichte ist natürlich auch ohne die BBC und ihre Sessions nicht zu denken. In den Siebzigern war Jack Bruce gern gesehener Gast beim britischen Staatsfunk und spielte mit unterschiedlichen Bands auf. Drei Konzerte und zwei Sessions aus den Jahren 1971 bis 1978 sind auf Live At The BBC erhältlich, einer 3 CD-Box mit der nun also endlich zusammenkommt, was zusammengehört. So vieltönig wie Bruce' Karriere sind auch die Aufnahmen für die BBC. Mit John Surman und Jon Hiseman spielte er im August 1971 eine Jazz-Session für Radio 3 ein, keinen Monat später stand er für Radio 1 auf der Bühne und legte ein dröhnendes Bluesrock-Konzert hin. Beim zweiten hier dokumentierten Konzert aus dem Jahr 1975 uferte der Rock gehörig in Funk und Jazz aus, das dritte von 1977 geriet poppig, Stücke wie Lost Inside A Song und Something To Live For schwangen gar soulig. Wieder ein Jahr später gab Bruce erneut den Jazzer, diese Session für Jazz In Britain rundet die Zusammenstellung ab. Ein paar Coverversionen sind hier zu hören, unter anderem der ergreifende Blues Have You Ever Loved A Women? von Billy Myles und Albert Kings Born Under A Bad Sign. Die alten Cream-Hits aufwärmen? Das kam nicht in Frage. Die meisten Songs stammen aus Bruce' Feder. Live At The BBC lebt von diesem typischen Live-Effekt: Die Instrumente klingen direkter und rücksichtsloser, als auf Platte. Dass das manchmal auf Kosten der Präzision geht, macht überhaupt nichts, vor allem die drei Konzerte atmen heftig und schwitzen. Der Pianist klöppelt sich die Finger wund, wo auch immer die Melodie hineilt, er ist schon da. Die Gitarren kreischen mal, dann wieder umschmeichelt ein warmes Vibrato den Hörer. Zusammengehalten wird das von Jack Bruce' grummelndem Bass und seiner beseelten Stimme, mit der er schon immer gut zu Deep Purple gepasst hätte. Aber die fanden ja bislang jedes Mal einen anderen Sänger. -- pure.de

Can You Follow? (2008) – Anthology [6-CD Box-Set]

"Can You Follow?", a 6CD set spanning Jack Bruce's career from 1962 to 2003, will be released on 23 June 2008 on Esoteric Recordings (catalogue number ECLECBOX 1), a label of the Cherry Red group in London. The box set includes a 68 page book featuring Jack's recollections and many photographs.

Jack was intimately involved in putting together this project. In the USA the 6 CD set is only available as an import. Click here to pre-order the set directly for delivery after June 23. In addition, 79 tracks of the set (controlled by Universal Music) will be available as a download directly from Lost Tunes, a new website established by Universal in London.

In May 2008 Jack celebrated his 65th Birthday and to celebrate this Esoteric Recordings are releasing a lavish 6 CD boxed set anthology entitled "Can You Follow?" on 23 June.

This lavish and ambitious set gathers together material drawn from all aspects of Jack’s career, beginning in 1962 with the earliest released recording of Jack performing as a member of Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated and continuing with recordings made with the Graham Bond Organisation (comprising Jack, Graham Bond, Ginger Baker and Dick Heckstall-Smith), John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Manfred Mann and then on to Cream (the band which brought Jack Bruce along with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker to world wide prominence), selling over 33 million albums in the process.

Following the demise of Cream in November 1968 Jack embarked on a distinguished career as a solo artist, recording fifteen albums in his own right, all of immense creativity and diversity. Beginning with the classic album "Songs for a Tailor", the "Can You Follow?" boxed set encompasses material from all these solo albums and also adds selected material from other projects including those with Tony Williams’ Lifetime, West, Bruce and Laing, Frank Zappa, Rocket 88 (with Charlie Watts and Alexis Korner), Robin Trower and BBM (with Gary Moore and Ginger Baker). Importantly, the set emphasises Jack’s enormous talent as a song writer and composer.

As one of popular music’s most respected innovators, Jack Bruce is in a class of his own. "Can You Follow?" celebrates his enduring talent and musical legacy.
