Jack Bruce was a scottish musician, bassist and singer very famous for being member from 60s rock band Cream along with big Eric Clpaton and talented drummer Ginger Baker. Though the band virtually just realased three studio albums (and one last one that is actually half studio/half live) the band is considerated as one of most transcendent and innovative groups for this musical genre, contributing with other bands as "Jimi Hendrix Experience", "The Doors", "Pink Floyd", Strawberry Alarm Clock" along many other ones with the psychedelic movement at late 60s, also it was probably first band on which Eric Clapton reached international fame along his partners (for some reason, not so recognized today as him).
He died of hepatic disease on 25 October 2014, Sudbury, Suffolk, England.
