Ginger Baker- LIVE IN LONDON 2009- CD & DVD- 2011- Floating World Ltd./Voiceprint- 0805772609129- 500 grn
Two disc edition of this live release from the veteran British drummer. Best known, of course, for his work with Cream, he ploughed a successful career after the demise of that supergroup. Back in 2009, Baker performed at London Jazz Café where this show was recorded and filmed for release especially with the participation of Pete King, one of Britain's finest saxophonists. And there is some jazz on this album. Pete King is the main attraction on such jazz numbers as Thelonious Monk's ''Bemsha Swing'' and Wayne Shorter's ''Footprints'', soloing with swirling invention, although the clangorous guitars tend to get in the way on ''Footprints''. And King lays out for rockier tunes like ''Rabbir Run''. The concert at London's Jazz Cafe‚ was to celebrate Ginger Baker's 70th birthday. One might have expected him to do a drum solo but he only plays a brief and rather unexciting solo on the Cream's ''Sweet Wine'' and joins in the African rhythms laid down by percussionist Abbas Dodoo in the Nigerian folk song ''Iko Beiya''. Some items show signs of minimal rehearsal - for example in ''Sweet Wine'', where the vocals sound poorly harmonised. Another drawback is the immensely drawn-out introduction from Ginger's grand-daughter and then Ginger himself, rambling at length for a five-minute segment that won't repay playing more than once. However, there is a bonus: the inclusion of a DVD of the same tunes, with the pleasant novelty of cameras that don't move about too frequently. Like the CD, this also includes the unexpected arrival of Stevie Winwood (misspelt Windwood in the DVD credits) to play a Caribbean-style Happy Birthday. So this package is a mixed bag, and only parts will probably appeal to jazz lovers. However, it's an interesting aural and visual record of an event recalling some of the many facets of Ginger Baker's multifarious career. 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' (pub: John Blake), 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 Dodoo Abass, world renowned saxophonist Peter King, along with Ginger's daughter Leda Baker (Rubella Ballet/various) on guitar/backing vocals. For the last two numbers Ginger is joined by his ‘surprise' guest & very ‘special' friend Steve Winwood in a moving reconciliation that sees them play two show-stopping Blind Faith numbers and re winds time to when they last played together in Ginger Bakers Airforce in 1970. The night keeps its intimate feel as it is introduced by Ginger's granddaughter Zara, Ginger includes the audience throughout, taking them on a journey through his musical discovery and finally Steve Winwood leads everyone through a chorus of ‘Happy Birthday' before launching into his brilliant song ‘'Can't Find My Way Home''. Paradoxically, they have found their ‘way home', back to their musical heyday & a balmy day in Hyde Park in June 1969 is readily evoked.
