Baker
(19 August 1939 – 6 October 2019) was an English drummer and a co-founder of the rock band
Cream
.
[1]
His work in the 1960s and 1970s earned him the reputation of "rock's first superstar drummer," for a style that melded
jazz
and
African rhythms
and pioneered both
jazz fusion
and
world music
.
[2]
Baker began playing drums at age 15, and later took lessons from English jazz drummer
Phil Seamen
. In the 1960s he joined
Blues Incorporated
, where he met bassist
Jack Bruce
. The two clashed often, but would be rhythm section partners again in
the Graham Bond Organisation
and Cream, the latter of which Baker co-founded with
Eric Clapton
in 1966. Cream achieved worldwide success but lasted only until 1968, in part due to Baker's and Bruce's volatile relationship. After briefly working with Clapton in
Blind Faith
and leading
Ginger Baker's Air Force
, Baker spent several years in the 1970s living and recording in Africa, often with
Fela Kuti
, in pursuit of his long-time interest in African music.
[3]
Among Baker's other collaborations are his work with
Gary Moore
,
Masters of Reality
,
Public Image Ltd
,
Hawkwind
,
Atomic Rooster
,
Bill Laswell
, jazz bassist
Charlie Haden
, jazz guitarist
Bill Frisell
and Ginger Baker's Energy.
Baker's drumming is regarded for its style, showmanship, and use of two bass drums instead of the conventional one. In his early days, he performed lengthy drum solos, most notably in the Cream song "
Toad
," one of the earliest recorded examples in rock music. Baker was an
inductee
of the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
as a member of Cream in 1993, of the
Modern Drummer
Hall of Fame in 2008,
[4]
and of the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame in 2016.
[5]
Baker was noted for his eccentric, often self-destructive lifestyle, and he struggled with
heroin
addiction for many years. He was married four times and fathered three children.
