Met Gary years ago when he was playing with Alan Holdsworth . I got to sit on his kit. We all hung out after the show. Great memories for sure.
Fantastic musical ability on both keyboards and drums Gary is just awesome
Cream!! The best!!
thank you so much for posting Gary's thoughts on the brilliant Jack Bruce - and Gary (of course) totally gets Ginger: his drumming was a genre unto itself
Fantastic! Thank you!!
As I'm sitting here listening to Mr. Husband, I am appreciating the privilege of getting to hear from one of the best musicians on the freaking planet. How and what he shares about his views of not only music and fellow musicians, but how to be a human being - the presence of soul. What a guy. His latest stuff with Nguyen Le and Benny Greb is incredible.
"...what I do consider is that I have a voice." And what a voice, sir. Thank you for sharing, gentleman.
I like that saying, that you play like you are. Never really thought about that aspect of playing, but it seems to hold up. If someone plays intensely, yet he or she is a laid back person, they are really expressing their inner intensity.
If you want to hear a drummer attack with reckless abandon, listen to Allan Holdsworth IOU. Some devastating stuff on there. Just incredible chemistry.
Saw the band live in Asbury Park, NJ.
so much insight -incredible musician and conversationalist !
Gary's a great drummer, definitely in my top five. I loved his work with another Gary (Moore). fantastic on Moore's Dark days In Paradise album and (few) Gigs....
extremely disarming and ready to dispell any myths. really appreciate hearing Gary talk about life and music from those times
Really interesting insight into Gary’s experiences with Jack & Ginger, but not really surprising even though I also loved the playing of both. I can also fully appreciate what Gary says about duplicating solos - yes, make up your own solo! 😁 I’m not a musician, so probably easier said than done.
Very interesting. Thanks for the video. Ron Carter has a similar concept on not transcribing.
Sos Inmortal, Husband, Feliz de que Tocaste con Bruce Y Gary Moore:❤
I know Gary from Level 42. Good to listen to this. He sounds like a nice guy with loads of experience and he's a great drummer. :)
Great interview, very truthful.
I like ginger baker in cream , those were the days . His sound sticks out also in blind faith . Can’t tell if it’s him in masters of reality
Gary's reference to the extended solos with Cream is more than likely 'Spoonful.' I know that Clapton is no Hendrix, but back in Eric's Gibson days those are some sweet leads that he never matched afterwards. Ginger Baker was a bit of a wounded animal, emotionally it seems, never content with himself nor anyone else.
You can hear his drumming above any other , but I am GB fan . Recognize him out of everything .
Very similar accent to fellow Northerner John McLaughlin, sort of Americanised .James Mason, who was himself another Yorkshireman.
True Champion Gary.
Awful to hear. How Gary was treated by famous drummers..when I know for a fact he is an absolute gentleman when approached by level 42 and Holdsworth fans...Gary is a legend and we love him ..👍🏻
He sounds so much like John McLaughlin.
So Yorkshire and Leeds are not far apart.
@@gillan5 Isn’t Leeds in Yorkshire?
I saw Jack with Blues in '90 on the Matter Of Time tour, I thought you (Gary) were on drums. It was great, Ginger was guest and played the second half.
I met Ginger Baker briefly, quite a long time ago, of all places at the Methadone dispensing centre in Worthing, Sussex. He started actually talking to me, cracking a joke on the place’s bureaucracy. He obviously recognised a heroin-head musician. I hardly replied, I was just in awe, dumbfounded and startled. He must’ve thought I was retarded, haha.....
I live in the USA, and I thought we were the only ones with stupid methadone bureaucracy….been on the liquid handcuffs for two years now. Hope you’re well
Great encounter story....peace be too you......
Time to revisit Seven Moons.
Definitely rate Ginger among my favorite drummers regardless of how difficult the man may have been. I've heard Ginger and Jack Bruce hated each other.
When Gary talks about jumping off a cliff, it reminds me of Herbie Hancock's line: "There are no wrong notes, only wrong resolutions."
9:24 An interesting issue. Most of the bands I find special and interesting are known for dealing with (lots of) friction, especially between the main members, but somehow they manage to make it work anyway, by sublimating that. Although it may not be for a long time, as was the case with Cream. That besides obviously being talented. It's probably what makes their music exciting, for a big part. I doubt whether that's possible when you're only nicely motivating each other, although you got to have some of that too.
Ginger defined himself as a jazz drummer. Trouble is to the wider world he's most remembered for being a great drummer in a rock band. He seemed to feel that dissed his talents and got angry. He even described Cream as a jazz band - try telling Clapton that.
Gary Husband and the Mondesir Brothers "Power of Three" DVD not ever mentioned where Gary plays the keyboard on the whole thing. Amazing playing throughout!!!! Then how about drummers like Kirk Covington who play amazing keyboards and are proud to show it. Gary Husband is being way too humble in not speaking about his multiple talents and his reluctance to share these with his fan base is really sad.
The bit About the chemistry between baker and Bruce....
Easy ….Ginger would say
"That is because I always know what jack is f****ing going to play next!"
Ginger didn't respect younger musicians. Probably because he didn't think they'd paid their dues, or they earned too much money etc. Irony is, Cream and Blind Faith spearheaded earning big money from records and touring - so it was logical younger bands were going to take that blueprint and run with it.
From what I've observed seeing Ginger not only his appearance but he had a certain cockyness and arrogance about his demeanor which probably rubbed some people myself included the wrong way. He may have been good as a drummer and musician but he didn't strike me as a person of desirable character.
Ginger's problem was old-fashioned jazz snobbery.
I think your right about the Jazz snobbery. It's also worth noting he was a few years older a than Jack and Jack was getting a lions share of the royalties from the songs.
But unfortunately for Ginger he comes across as a angry guy most of the time who was dismissive of a lot of other musicians (he even rubbished Bohnam).
I get the impression he was bitter and jealous of Jack and was a self centred bully.
He played good drums in his day though.
@@mrmanch204 I think the same...but, we will never really know.
@@mrmanch204 yea but at the end of his life he really mellowed out if you search up ginger Baker and watch the video with him talking about his life nowadays it was one of the last videos of him before his death and you can tell he really mellowed out and turned into a kind old soul witch you would never think would happen haha
Heroin will do that….😉😉
Jazz is a minority music,It’s for suffistos.it’s always had a snobbish appeal.Ginger apparently hated being thought of as a rock drummer.
i'm not a fan of jack bruce, even though i think he was an interesting bass player. he also seemed to be very into blues singing to the point of sounding convincing. maybe he "lived it". cream never sounded so good to me. last thing i heard with ginger baker was live with bill frisell. sounded fairly good. cream, miles davis band (late 60s), and mahavishnu orchestra: the band members' solo work sounded better to me, funnily enough! well, actually maybe not bruce solo. but as a live player, he stood out.
I never liked Ginger Baker as a drummer.
Blasphemy!!!!!!!!
