Ginger Baker
Peter Edward "Ginger" Baker is an English drummer and co-founder of the rock band Cream. His work in the 1960s and 1970s earned him a reputation as “rock's first superstar drummer,” with a style blending jazz and African rhythms, and a pioneer in jazz and world music. Baker quickly rose to prominence as a member of the Blues Incorporated and the Graham Bond Organization, both alongside bassist Jack Bruce, whom Baker frequently encountered. In 1966 Baker and Bruce, along with guitarist Eric Clapton, founded Cream, which achieved worldwide success but only lasted until 1968, in part due to Baker and Bruce's unstable relationship. After briefly working with Clapton on the film Blind Faith and Ginger Baker's Air Force Chief, Baker spent several years in the 1970s living and recording in Africa, often with Fela Kuti, to follow his love of African music.
