Jack Bruce Underrated on Fretless?

Sign in to disble this ad
I finally got a new copy of A Question if Time from ITunes and I sat back and enjoyed Jack Bruce's wonderful playing. IMO, Bruce and Fernaundo Saunders just do not get the recognition they deserve for their great Fretless work.

I think that some people just think of his days with Cream (no problem there) and don't know all of the stuff that he did after - Lifetime, Frank Zappa, Robin Trower and so on.

I love that Jack Bruce's fretless playing is so understated. I get tired of fretless playing that has constant mwah. Bruce has just enough mwah, but also can get a sound very close to a fretted bass when he wants to.
