		Jack Bruce (born May 14, 1943) is a musician (bass guitar, cello and occasional piano), singer and songwriter.

		In the early days of Cream, Jack played a Fender VI (6 string) bass whose narrow string spacing, and shorter than average scale-length, made it the ideal vehicle for a nimble-thinking and nimble-fingered innovator like Jack.

		If "Jack Bruce" means anything to you, it probably means "that screechy singer-bass player from Cream." It's a shame Bruce gets pigeon-holed like that, because he's had a remarkably eclectic and adventuresome career, often veering off track but always trying hard to entertain.
		Bruce's shadowy, confusing, and mostly out-of-print discography has been a nightmare to figure out; I've omitted most mention of guest appearances, leaving in comments only for the most high-profile cases.
		Bruce sings, but the material is almost entirely by Trower and Procol Harum lyricist Keith Reid - the major exception is Bruce's "Life On Earth." This was to be Bruce's most enduring post-Cream rock band, and I very definitely want to hear some of their work.

		Jack Bruce is one that sees the melting pot of music as a blessing.
		When asked about the future of rock, Jack said, "It's difficult to say...people say 'Rock is Dead' but no, it just re-invents itself." The future of music, being undecided at this point, gets a dose of rock with everything else it has to offer such as pop, RandB, blues, jazz and so much more.
