Here's another idea for a playlist. This one features the late bassist Jack Bruce. His career was a long, and varied one, and he played with a who's who of great musicians, and composed and recorded Rock, Jazz, and Blues in different settings. But his greatest commercial success, and the music for which he is best known is his work in power trios. Cream came first (1966-1968), followed by West, Bruce & Laing (1972-1974). There was a partnership with Robin Trower and drummer Bill Lordan as well. The B.L.T. band as it was known, made one album in 1981. A 1982 album with Trower and a different drummer, Reg Isidore, was billed as Jack Bruce & Robin Trower. And a third album, Seven Moons had Gary Husband on drums. In 1988, Leslie West cut an album called Theme with Bruce on bass, and vocals, and Joe Franco on drums. Bruce returned to the format once more with Ginger Baker, and Gary Moore (BBM) for one album released in 1994.

Clive William Bunker (30 December 1946) is a #rock #drummer. He was the original drummer in the British #rock #band Jethro Tull.
Bunker played in his first band The Warriors in the 1960s. With Mick Abrahams he later formed the band known as McGregor's Engine. Between 1967 and 1971 he drummed for Jethro Tull, leaving after Tull's release of their most popular album to that date, Aqualung, to get married and spend more time with his new wife. He was replaced by Barriemore Barlow, a school friend of the group's singer/songwriter Ian Anderson.
After his time with Jethro Tull he played with Blodwyn Pig, Robin Trower, Jude, Aviator, Jeff Pain (aka Dicken, formerly of the UK band Mr Big), Manfred Mann, Jack Bruce, Gordon Giltrap, Anna Ryder, Uli Jon Roth, Electric Sun, Steve Hillage, Vikki Clayton, Solstice, Glenn Hughes and Jerry Donahue.
Bunker's debut solo album, Awakening, was released in 1998.
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
