Yeah, legendary drummer
Ginger Baker
was in a trio with
Eric Clapton
and
Jack Bruce
. But would it be sacrilege to suggest that perhaps that outfit was the not the, ahem, cream of the crop when it comes his career's musical threesomes? For the
Ginger Baker Trio
, first heard on the 1994 album
Going Back Home
, featured
Charlie Haden
on bass and
Bill Frisell
on guitar! And that record lived up to its pedigree with a fascinating blend of British folk, Arabic-tinged melodies, and jazz, propelled by
Baker
's astonishing jazz chops on his double-bass kit (punctuated by some of his trademark tom-tom fills) and shot through with
Haden
's melodic bass work and those impressionistic guitar textures that could only come from a
Frisell
axe. In short, if you're a fan of any of these three guys, this album's a must, and we've had it remastered for vinyl (by
Mike Milchner
at Sonic Vision) for its LP debut.
