	Ginger Baker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peter Edward "Ginger" Baker (born August 19, 1939, Lewisham, London) is a British percussionist who gained fame as a member of Cream from 1966 until 1968 with Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton, and later joined Clapton, Ric Grech and Steve Winwood in the 1969 group Blind Faith.
		Baker also performed lengthy improvisational drum solos (such as "Toad") on his elaborate drum kit; he was one of the first rock drummers to use two bass drums as part of his drum set, a practice inspired by jazz drummer Louie Bellson.
		Baker was known for taking excessive amounts of speed during the 1960s; as a result many rumors have emerged throughout the years that he has died, although, as of 2006, he has not.

	Ginger Baker pictures and biography
		Baker's idol during the late '50s was Phil Seaman, a jazz drummer who was probably the best percussion player in England; his own playing tended toward an aggressiveness and articulation that were unusual in juxtaposition with each other.
		Baker was barely audible in the mix, though what one could hear of the drumming did have a signature of sorts, a loose, jazzy element that was unusual.
		Baker can hardly be faulted, however, for the excesses of those who followed after him -- his studio work with Cream, and at least the live material that was authorized for release, never showed him playing lengthy solos for their own sake but rather depicted a drummer coaxing beautiful voices out of his instrument.

		After Cream, both Clapton and Baker joined with Steve Winwood to form Blind Faith, the first band to be saddled with the description of "super-group." Blind Faith followed Cream's example of living fast and dying young: similarly popular, by 1970 it was toast.
		In the years since, Ginger Baker has remained intermittently active; zealously avoiding any repeat of the "superstardom" he was afflicted with while a member of Cream, his output continues to focus more strongly on his interests in jazz and African music.

	Ginger Baker's Parting Shots

		The Denver-based band was well-rehearsed, and Miles wrote several songs around Baker's strengths, including the 6/8 "Ginger Spice." "Ginger liked these kind of Afro grooves, and I knew that he had lived in Africa and played with Fela and stuff," says Miles.
