Baker has always loved African music and has lived there as well, so it’s natural that there should be a strong African feel to this music. Baker is joined by Abass Dodoo on percussion, and his Jazz Confusion quartet is completed by bassist Alec Dankworth and former James Brown and Van Morrison tenor saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis.
It’s easy to forget just how Baker brought a different sound to rock drumming with Cream, because his playing has always been more naturally at home in the wider rhythmic context of jazz.
Ginger Spice, the Ron Miles-composed opener, gives a good idea of what to expect from this album. Other tracks include Wayne Shorter’s Footprints and Sonny Rollins St Thomas, as well as originals from Baker and Ellis, plus Baker’s arrangement of a traditional Nigerian piece. I found the originals much more interesting than the slightly obvious jazz standards.
A refreshing take on contemporary jazz in which the leader’s highly original instrumental style forces players we know from elsewhere like Dankworth and Ellis to play in a fresh manner. It’s a welcome reminder that all the fuss over that documentary film about Baker and what a tetchy individual he can be is not really what matters; this music is what matters. (Peter Bacon)
