Ginger Baker

Anyone who is interested in British jazz/blues/rock music from the 60s, especially Cream, will probably like this programme, now on BBC iPlayer

Imagine...Beware of Mr Baker

Re: Ginger Baker

Brilliant, brilliant drummer - not so hot as a human being though!

Re: Ginger Baker

Yes, my thoughts too. An outstanding musician but not so pleasant as a person

Re: Ginger Baker

Never followed his career much after Cream, do remember the drum solos, a mixed blessing.

Re: Ginger Baker

I watched it yesterday night. I was aware he was a drumming genius and a tad crazy, as I'm a Cream fan. But hell's teeth, he was batshit crazy!

Re: Ginger Baker

I watched the program and agree with everything above . I also saw Ginger Baker in the Graham Bond Organisation(Jack Bruce was also in it) and G.B. Airforce

Re: Ginger Baker

I've read interviews with him, another one is Phil Collins. Age hasn't been kind to either of them.
