"Ginger was my brother, the absolute founder and energy behind Cream, my beloved band mate in Blind Faith, but beyond even that was the literal incarnation of progressive drumming upon the earth.” (Eric Clapton)

The late, great Ginger Baker is, without question, the foremost drummer of his generation, having formed supergroups Cream and Blind Faith. In the early 1990s, Geoffrey Giuliano received a call from Baker asking if he would be interested in writing his autobiography.

From there, a turbulent yet fruitful relationship ensued between the two. While the book they wrote has yet to be published, here, at last, are the exclusive, in-depth, upfront, and highly personal conversations the two unlikely friends recorded in a Western New York studio all those years ago.

Ginger speaks his mind, holding forth on the particulars of his amazing life and work and in so doing, reveals something he has always ardently tried to hide - that he is really a lovely, caring, sensitive man. For everyone interested in the history, art, and cultural significance of the popular music of the 20th century, this series is a once in a lifetime, must have audio event.
