Ginger Baker is without question one of the foremost drummers of his generation having founded Cream and Blind Faith. In the early 1990s, Geoffrey Giuliano received an unsolicited call from Mr. Baker asking if he would be interested in writing his autobiography. From there a turbulent, yet fruitful relationship ensued between the two men.
While the book has yet to be published, here at last, are the in-depth, upfront, and personal conversations the two recorded in an upstate New York studio all those years ago. For everyone interested in the history and cultural significance of the popular music of the 20th century this series is an exclusive must-have audio event.
Episode Six: 1964-65. Ginger first works with Jack Bruce and the tricky Graham Bond as well as becoming a full on junkie. Gigging with the Graham Bond Organization at 50 quid a week. Remembrances of Alexis Korner, cold turkey in Leeds, Robert Stigwood, and the first early rumbles of the formation of Cream.
Contains adult language and mature themes. Not recommended for children.
