there are so few dvds with ginger baker that anything will do. first of all the quality is great, however it is only 50 minut show cut exactly when enters steve winwood, I mean he has guitar ready to play but suddenly the show is over - I do not get it at all. The songs are coming from Ginger solo albums and Masters of reality with Jonas Helborg and Chris Goss and Pete King as a main group and great african drum driver. Only 50 minutes and the cameras are installed like in a packed garage with limited effects or movements, almost like home done video. Anyway worth the price and bows to ginger.
i enjoyed the live at the jazz cafe dvd/cd very much iam a great fan of ginger baker but i thought it was misleading about steve winwood's guest
appearance he came on stage and the dvd/cd finished didnt play even 1 track

I have been a fan of Ginger Baker since my early teens - Disraeli Gears by Cream was my first album.
Through the years I have grown to appreciate Gingers ability, general musicianship and his skill. I have enjoyed his music from Baker Gurvitz Army through to the jazz-oriented recordings of the last decade.
Sadly there is not very much available on DVD to enjoy - so I was very pleased to see this.
The quality is not brilliant, I am guessing it was not recorded with the initial objective of commercial release as a DVD. However, the quality is easily good enough to allow the viewer to enjoy the performance. It has the feel of a private recording of a private party that was released when they realised the quality was good enough to do so. I for one am very pleased that they did so.
It has a relaxed live-feel, one number slides into the next, few between-number announcements.
Ginger is one of the most musical of rock/jazz drummers. He really "plays" the drum-kit as an instrument rather than merely providing time-keeping and frills. I actually think that aspect of his playing comes through particularly in his Baker Gurvitz days, but of course it is seen here also.
I think a fan who only knows Ginger as a rock drummer, or whose interest is much more strongly in "rock" than other musical styles, would be dissappointed in this performance. But I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was a nice bonus to find a separate CD of the music included with the DVD, it saves me ripping the soundtrack to my MP3.
For Ginger baker fans searching for other DVDs of Ginger - then the 2005 Cream reunion concert is an obvious choice - but I would also recomment this recording from Baker Gurvitz Army: Freedom
I recall seeing Ginger with Baker Gurvitz Army on the BBC "In Concert" series in 1975 shortly after releasing their first album (which I still listen to regularly) - now, if that recording were ever found/released on DVD I would snap it up.
