Kofi Baker, the son of drummer icon Ginger Baker, started his professional career at the age of fourteen. The excellent drummer, who is equally at home in rock, punk or jazz, worked in the eighties and nineties with such greats as Randy California (Spirit), John Etheridge (Soft Machine), Dick Heckstall-Smith (Colosseum), Steve Waller ( Manfred Mann), Steve Marriott (Humble Pie), Jack Bruce or Jonas Hellborg, and has also repeatedly appeared on stage with his father in the past.
After various solo releases, the musician, who now lives in Orange, California, founded the power trio Cream Experience, with which he revives the genre-defining sound of the Cream formation. Together with guitarist (and lead singer) Chris Shutters and bassist Bob Willemstein, he transfers the timelessly brilliant mix of blues, hard and psychedelic rock into the present in a highly authentic way.
In the context of the now available concert recording from October 2014 from the Meisenfrei Blues Club in Bremen, he presented songs from the (Cream) formation Blind Faith ("Presence Of The Lord", "Do What You Like", "Can't Find My Way Home") in addition to selected highlights from the Cream repertoire such as "Sunshine Of Your Love", "White Room", "I'm So Glad", "Badge", "Spoonful" or "Crossroads". With "Little Wing" the trio also had a composition by Jimi Hendrix in their top-class program.
