'It was total generosity' - BillFrisell on working with the late GingerBaker
's discography, one of his most fruitful yet overlooked periods is the four-year scope of his mid-90s jazz trio with bassist Charlie Haden and guitarist Bill Frisell. The Ginger Baker Trio produced two albums for Atlantic in 1994'sreleased in parallel to the drummer's fervent return to heavy guitar rock with a brief stint with stoner rock pioneers Masters of Reality and the short-lived BBM trio.
As Frisell saw it firsthand, Ginger Baker was a man who took his craft seriously. The music he created, be it with the Graham Bond Organisation or Cream or Blind Faith or his Air Force or the Baker Gurvitz Army or Fela Kuti or Jazz Confusion, was the focal point of his 80 years on earth, with personal relationships to those around him sometimes suffering.
"There was a beautiful quote from Steve Winwood I just read talking about how sensitive he was," reflects Frisell. "And that, for me, was what I got more than anything from being around Ginger. In the film they made about him, what came through for me was his intense love and commitment to the music. I actually think of him more like this super sensitive about the nature of his craft.
