This is sad news.
Sadly his abilities were stunningly under rated which were made evident to subsequent generations with the Albert Hall reunion. Jack Bruce was Cream IMO. Pre music video, even my wife, a radio industry professional in the early 70s, assumed Cream was all about Clapton.As a Bassist I was thrilled to see and hear those old Bass parts come alive with him playing fretless. Crossing over from Upright to fretted can be balky, it was for me. Once again, thanks John Francis.
Shoulda coulda, Jack Bruce, Jeff Beck, Mitch Mitchell.
