GINGER BAKER / AFRICAN FRIENDS ~ LIVE IN BERLIN GERMANY 1978 VOICEPRINT / TMQ 057 (Barcode: 604388738328) ~ UK ~ Jazz-World Fusion Recorded: 1978Released: 2010 This live recording is one of several releases based on the private archives of legendary drummer Ginger BakerFind albums by this artist, which finally see the light of day. Although not intended for a formal release and suffering from "bootleg" sound quality problems, the musical importance of this material is so significant, that it overshadows any technicalities and is essentially a Godsend. This album brings a live recording of Baker playing with his old friend Fela Anikulapo KutiFind albums by this artist and his ensemble Africa 70Find albums by this artist during the Berlin Jazzfest. In many respects this recording is a culmination of Baker´s long association with African music and his Jazz-World Fusion, before his return to more conventional Jazz music. Definitely worth investigating, especially in view of the fact that the sound quality on this album is quite excellent.
