After Eric Clapton left Blind Faith at the end of 1969, Ginger Baker had the idea of forming a kind of big band in which African music was mixed with popular Western music. This innovative concept was ahead of its time and would later be called “World Music”. He drummed up an all-star ensemble (Steve Winwood, Ric Grech, Chris Wood, Graham Bond, Denny Lane, etc.) and played two concerts in the Royal Alber Hall, London and Town Hall, Birmingham. Shortly

after the concerts, the live double LP “Ginger Baker's Air Force” was released in Europe and America. It was a very idiosyncratic mix presented to fans accustomed to rock, but the critics praised this musical excursion and Ginger was also surprised by the remarkable sales figures. He then decided to continue the project, recruit new young musicians for his AIR FORCE and go into the studio to record the follow-up album “Air Force 2”.

In October 1970, the band traveled to Germany with the current line-up to play a few concerts and made a detour to the north to perform in the TV studio of Radio Bremen on the legendary music show Beat Club. AIR FORCE also drew on Cream classics, such as “Sunshine Of Your Love”, rearranged in the African big band sound, which flowed seamlessly into “Toady”. A 9-minute epic by the band with numerous solos and a Ginger Baker bursting with energy, drumming one of his best solos. Now this session is available in sound and vision, on CD and DVD, with all the takes that were recorded that day and not just the ones that were finally broadcast at the Bremen Beat Club on the afternoon of Saturday, October 24, 1970.

"Ginger Baker's Air Force"

Geboren am 19.8.1939 in Lewisham, England Schlagzeuger Ginger Baker, bereits heute glorifiziertes Denkmal des Rock-Rhythmus, begann seine Karriere unter dem Einfluss der großen Big-Band-Trommler wie Gene Krupa oder Buddy Rich. Er arbeitete zunächst in Dixielandbands wie Acker Bilk oder Terry Lightfoot und gab sein Rock-Debüt bei Graham Bond Anfang der 60er Jahre. Die Meisterschaft auf seinen Trommeln zeigte sich schließlich mit der legendären Super-Formation „Cream“ in den Jahren 1966 bis 1968. Nach Gründung und Auflösung der Gruppe Blind Faith baute Baker sich 1970 seine „Air Force' auf, der jedoch nur geringer kommerzieller Erfolg beschieden war. 1971 zog Baker sich nach Nigeria zurück. Die afrikanische Musik, die ihn schon stets beeinflusst hatte, brachte er 1 Jahr später mit nach Europa, als er mit „Fega Ransome Kuti And The Africa Band' eine Englandtournee unternahm. Nach einem weiteren Zwischenspiel mit der Gruppe SALT, die zu gleichen Teilen aus weißen und farbigen Musikern bestand, arbeitet Baker derzeit mit den Brüdern Gurvitz in der „Baker Gurvitz Army'.
