Director: MIke Leckebusch
synopsis
In October 1970, Ginger Baker's Air Force traveled to Germany and made a detour to the north to perform on the legendary music show Beat Club. The Jazz-Rock supergroup drew on Cream classics such as "Sunshine Of Your Love," which was rearranged in an African big band sound and flowed seamlessly into "Toady:" a 9-minute epic by the band with numerous solos and a Ginger Baker bursting with energy, drumming one of his best solos. Now this legendary session is available on Night Flight Plus with all the takes recorded that day!
