Title: . . . but never missing a beat
Review: Ginger Baker shows, again, that he can create more sound, more music, more emotion from drumming than anyone else. The drums are out front, not tucked into the background. Ginger Baker, Bill Frisell, and Charlie Haden play so well together that it seems they have always been together. Frisell is a master guitarist, and he brings this music alive. Haden has always been a master at getting more emotion from the bass than other players, and he clearly anchors these sessions.The music can be challenging, and it demands that you pay attention. It takes several listens to "get" it. This music is absolutely the opposite of everything Cream was, so do not expect anything remotely like the power trio Ginger played with in the '60s.
