Ginger Baker Recorded New Album in Two Days

06/26/2014
. (Classic Rock) Ginger Baker says his new band's debut album took just two days to record. The iconic drummer - famous among rock fans mainly for his work with Cream - is set to tour in support of the debut record form his group, Ginger Baker's Jazz Confusion. The album, called Why?, was released this week.

Saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis, bassist Alec Dankworth, and percussionist Abbas Dodoo are Baker's bandmates in the new project. And while Baker, 74, had fin recording it in the space of just 48 hours, he isn't looking forward to hitting the road.

He tells Esquire: "If I had my choice I'd have a little button beside my chair here and I'd just press it and I'd turn up at a gig. Right after the gig I'd press it and I'm back home again. A beam-me-up-Scotty machine." more on this story
