And Clapton Didn't Even Know

If you listen to the live disc on the double album "Wheels of Fire", that makes some sense, although I would say Jack was being far too humble about his own innovative style.
Unfortunately, this "Ornette Coleman" turned into a Kenny G. In the Cream era, I had a lot of respect for him, but as the years have gone by, he has really (for me) become a bore.

Bdp24,
So, in summary, you feel sorry for anyone who does not agree with your opinion, which is actually presented as fact.
I disagree, but I support free speech.

Frogman,
I watched the entire documentary on YouTube this morning , and I was transfixed, as well as very sad. I have loved and admired Jack Bruce since my teens, and it was great to hear him tell his life story and hear him play and sing. I once had the pleasure of seeing him play in person when he was part of West Bruce and Laing in 1973. That was a memorable night. A few years ago, they reunited without him, but his son played bass.
To me, he was a consummate musician and artist, and no one can replace him.
