Ginger Baker, drummer for Cream, Blind Faith, Ginger Baker’s Air Force, and others, was born on this day in 1939. Blind Faith recorded one eponymous studio album and the showcase piece was “Do What You Like,” written by Baker and featuring an extended drum solo by him. For you music theory fans, it’s in 5/4, like the theme for the TV series Mission: Impossible and The Dave Brubeck Quartet’s “Take Five.” It’s long…

Great song from an album full of great songs. One of my favorite drum solos and I’m not a big fan of drum solos.

Those were the days that you could do a jam like that on an album and people didn’t mind.
