And Clapton Didn't Even Know

In one of the many tributes to Ornette Coleman I came across the following comment from Jack Bruce regarding Cream. "(Cream) was an Ornette Coleman band, with Eric [Clapton] not knowing he was Ornette Coleman, Ginger [Baker] and me not telling him."

Wow! I was blind, but now I see.

Onhwy61-

so true. Can we all agree that (The) Cream was Rock's first power trio? If not, which band was Rock's 1st power trio?

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Nothing wrong w/ Johnny Kidd nor Buddy Holly, still, (The) Cream were something different and brought "something" different to Rock's table. Yes, I love The Who as well, however, they were chasing The Rolling Stones & The Beatles successes. Happy Listening!
