Fact #88550

When:

Short story:

UK drummer Ginger Baker officially leaves The Graham Bond Organisation, to take up his new role as drummer in The Cream, with Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce.

Full article:

Eric Clapton : Jack had a working relationship with (poet and musician) Pete Brown and so he was coming to rehearsals with ready-made songs. It left me thinking, 'Bloody hell, what am I going to do here?' So I turned to interpreting obscure blues songs, and Ginger came in with compositions with an African or an Afro-jazz feel. And that's what Cream was all about, really, the amalgam of those three ingredients.
