Ginger Baker is probably best known as the drummer with British rock band Cream and also Blind Faith. Throughout the seventies and beyond Ginger Baker has released many albums not limited himself to just rock music. Ginger has released albums in the rock, jazz and world music genres and of course also managed to work with jack Bruce and Eric Clapton in a cream Reunion in the mid nineties. This recording is sourced from a performance from Ginger Baker and Energy which took place in Milan Italy recorded on March 28th 1980. The band had a more blues based rock sound than Ginger's more recent eclectic mix of world music and jazz. The style of the band however was very mu8ch appreciated in Europe with fans very receptive to the virtuoso playing of guitarist John Mizaroli. This double album captures the complete concert with highlights being the Pops Staples song Lost Your Love My Love. Another highlight is Ginger Baker's drum solo which closes disc one of this set proving that in the right hands drum solos are anything but boring. The second disc of this set includes just two tracks No Magic law and an extended workout based around the Elvis Presley hit That's Alright Mama. The recordings featured in the Official Ginger Baker Bootleg Series are sure to become collector's items and are all sanctioned by Ginger Baker.
