在Ginger Baker之前,著名的鼓手都是凭着其乐队的名声而显赫起来的,比如披头士的Ringo Starr。而Ginger Baker则纯粹是靠自己的实力才声名鹊起的。人们是这样评价他的:一个爵士鼓手的灵魂附在了一个布鲁斯摇滚乐手的身上。他巧妙地把摇滚乐迷能够接受的爵士灵感融入到了强劲有力的摇滚节奏当中。在众多不同乐队中经历让他风格趋向多元化,摇滚史上是他第一个在唱片里打了13分钟的solo(“Toad”)。本片中Baker将回顾他的音乐生涯和人生故事。Ginger Baker looks back on his musical career with Cream and Blind Faith; his introduction to Fela Kuti; his self-destructive patterns and losses of fortune; and his current life inside a fortified South African compound.
