Did that tour ever happen?
Yeah, I’ve heard that Ginger has always been a cranky sod.
Good question. I stumbled on that last link looking up something on Jack Bruce.
I was able to find this just now from March 2017:
“This is not a tribute band,” says Kofi Baker, son of Cream legend Ginger. “I think we push it further than it’s ever gone before.”
It’s an unusual proposition. Baker has joined forces with Jack Bruce’s son Malcolm and Eric Clapton’s nephew Will Johns (son of Led Zeppelin engineer Andy Johns) to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Cream. With a series of dates lined up in Australia and New Zealand lined up (dates below), the trio will be joined onstage by former Deep Purple bassist/singer Glenn Hughes and legendary guitarist Robben Ford. All of which suggests those those hoping to hear precise replicas of White Room and Sunshine Of Your Love are going to be severely disappointed.
“We are absolutely not interested in playing it note for note, mimicking what has already been done,” says Bruce. “There are tribute acts that can do this already, but I think that misses the point of what this music was about in the first place. As my Dad said on more than one occasion, Cream were a Jazz band… it’s just they didn’t tell Eric!”
Reminds me of a line from a great movie, Still Crazy:
If it's true that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, then drummers are from Pluto.
