Cream Re-union ...

Personally, I can't wait for the CD/DVD of the reunion to come out. I saw their farewell tour at the Baltimore Civic Center in November, 1968. I still get goose bumps thinking about it. The curtains parting as they began the concert with "White Room". What a trip. No special effects, flames, smoke machines, etc. Just fantastic musicianship. I know I'm old(er), but I still think there's alot that today's musicians could learn from, Eric, Jack and Ginger. The drummers out there who get to do their extended solos owe alot to Ginger Baker. He set the standard. Well enough of my rambling. Time to go listen to "Wheels Of Fire".10.gif

Just out of curiousity, has anyone been listening to the Ginger Baker Quartet, etc? While many may not be aware of some of their work since Cream, with the exception of Clapton who has become a J.J.Cale clone (he could definately have picked a worse role model!!!!), they have not simply faded away. And Jack Bruce is still one of the premier rock vocalists to ever approach a mic! With egos aside, it has the potential to be a remarkable event...If........

I've got a Ginger Baker quartet CD "Going Back Home" with Bill Frisell on guitar and Charlie Haden on bass that is one of my favorite jazz CDs. Ginger swings on jazz with a rock feel in places. I'm sure Cream re-united would be a one-off thing for all three of them, but the possibilities would be interesting.
