Ginger never really had the major commercial/artistic presence of bandmates Eric, or Jack Bruce, the latter especially in the song writing department. But he kept pounding away. As a kid I owned some of his records. I guess most folks my age and demographic did. May he RIP.
VERY RIP.
I did not know of his work with Haden and Frisell (etc) - thanks for that link!

I like this comment in one of the reviews on 'zon:
"i read in another review that the sound quality was so good that you could use this cd as a great way to demo your audio system. i definitely second that recommendation (as a long time audiophile). i have always felt that Baker had some magical method of capturing his drum sound in the recording studio and wasn't ever sure how much influence he had on this. the drum sound on this cd beats the hell out of anything i've ever heard; combined with Bakers choice of drums, tuning, and his (likely) involvment in the final mix, i get shivers listening to this and want to instantly get up and dance or drum. the energy is magical.
