Ginger Baker
Ginger Baker Plus Special Friends Live @ The Jazz Cafe London 2009
Album UK 2010 on Voiceprint label
Jazz and Rock (Psychedelic Rock, Fusion, Afrobeat)
In August 2009, legendary rock drummer Ginger Baker (of Graham Bond Organisation, Cream, Blind faith, Airforce, Baker-Gurvitz Army et al) miraculously reached his 70th Birthday. In October he also published his long awaited autobiography ‘Hellraiser', a book that for various reasons has taken him over twenty-years to complete. To coincide with these two momentous events a ‘gig with special friends' was held at London's Jazz Cafe on 4th November 2009. This CD & DVD commemorates this historic & prestigious event & invites you to share the music & atmosphere of the venue. Ginger demonstrates his musical fluidity & prowess with a range of numbers spanning the back catalogue of his phenomenal career. He is helped in this by guitarist/singer Chris Goss (Masters of Reality), bassist extraordinaire Jonas Helborg, percussionist Abass Ni Dodoo, world renowned saxophonist Peter King, along with Ginger's daughter Leda Baker (Rubella Ballet/various) on guitar/backing vocals. Ginger is joined on stage by his ‘surprise' guest & very ‘special' friend Steve Winwood. Track Durations from Windows Media Player 11.
