Tribute from Premier Guitar: Jack Bruce found his calling early in life: Instead of just playing bass, he defined it, carving out a legacy that will endure as long as we keep archives of recorded music. As a bassist, Jack led by example, demonstrating that a bass player could write, sing, and drive a band with melody, intense energy, and finesse all at the same time. He was and always will be considered electric-bass royalty. His influence reached far and wide, including with his former bandmate Eric Clapton, who called him “a tremendous inspiration.” Bruce is considered one of the founding fathers of rock bass guitar, and his playing should be studied again and again. Thank you, Jack, for keeping the masses rocking, your friends laughing, and the bass players of the world guessing. Godspeed, Mr. Bruce.
