Ginger Baker Jazz Confusion

Once voted as ‘the musician least likely to survive the 60s’, over four decades later ex-Cream drummer Ginger Baker has proved them all wrong, returning to the UK after living abroad for many years, with a formidable quartet of funk and jazz giant Pee Wee Ellis (tenor sax), Alec Dankworth (bass) and Ghanaian percussionist Abass Dodoo. The music is a healthy mix of Thelonius Monk, Wayne Shorter, Sonny Rollins, plus originals from Messrs Ellis and Baker – a challenging and fresh sound with Baker and Dodoo providing a perfect powerhouse of rhythms.
