Ginger Baker and Salt – Live in Munich, Germany 1972
2-CD Set | Voiceprint Records | Official Ginger Baker Bootleg Series
Step into the heart of a groundbreaking fusion of jazz, rock, and Afrobeat with this electrifying 1972 performance from legendary drummer Ginger Baker and his short-lived but powerful ensemble, Salt. Captured live in Munich and sanctioned by Baker himself, this archival release showcases a rare musical dialogue between Western rock and African rhythms, featuring a stellar lineup including Art Blakey, Steve Gregory, Bud Beadle, and the Lijadu Sisters.
Originally broadcast on German television, this performance—billed as "Africa Now: Invites Drum Battle"—is a percussive tour de force. With extended improvisations and jam sessions, the set blurs genre boundaries and captures Baker at his most adventurous. A must-have for fans of Cream, Air Force, and global fusion pioneers. This release is part of the Official Ginger Baker Bootleg Series and is destined to become a prized addition to any serious collection.
