RIP Ginger Baker.  :(

I'll go and find some cream to listen too.

Think I once heard him playing for Hawkwind.  :bowler:

Played Blind Faith's album.

Good choice.

The Minsky Moment

Ginger Baker's Air Force, Air Force 2 (1971)

British Afro-funk with some west African influences.  Ends up sounding more dated than Baker's earlier and more conventional work with Cream and Blind Faith.  Good musicianship though.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

The Minsky Moment

Ginger Baker Trio, Going Back Home (1994)

This is more a Bill Frisell album marketed under Ginger Baker's name, although Baker does contribute 3 originals. An English blues-rock drummer is not an obvious match for Frisell's eclectic mix of musical Americana, but in the context of the album it works pretty well, with Baker providing some propulsive energy to Frisell's laid-back style.  Charlie Haden is outstanding on bass and also supplies 4 songs.

That's a good take on Baker's playing, if you're adventurous and want to hear an unusual example, try listening to his contribution to the Hawkwind album 'Levitation' .The drive and tightness he instilled probably makes it their best album.  :bowler:

That's pretty cool.  I thought he was going to miss some of those left pinky shots.

One of my go to songs.  So melodic, so weird, so nerdy.
