About
Sons Of Cream In Concert
Uniquely powerful and massively influential, the music that Cream made in three short years from 1966 to 1968 poses huge challenges to any players hoping to re-create its match of force and finesse. Thankfully, two members of Sons of Cream have a considerable advantage, being the very talented offspring of two of the three rock legends in the pioneering '60s power trio behind such hits as "Sunshine of Your Love" and "White Room," and classic albums like ‘Disraeli Gears.'
Kofi Baker was still a toddler when he got his first drumming lessons from his dad Ginger Baker. By the time he was a teenager, he was playing professionally with other greats of his father's generation, including Manfred Mann's Steve Waller and Randy California of Spirit. Meanwhile, Malcolm – son of Cream bassist Jack Bruce – developed his own reputation as a musician, collaborating with Black Sabbath's Bill Ward and former Rolling Stones and Bluesbreakers guitarist Mick Taylor.
These two sons first teamed up in the '90s hard-rock band Lost City. They also continued to find time to play with their famous fathers as well as Eric Clapton, the third titan in Cream's lineup. Baker and Bruce's chemistry led to several performances devoted to Cream's extraordinary music, including a tour of Australia and New Zealand commemorating the band's 50th anniversary.
Now they have united with another second-generation musician – Will Johns, the guitarist son of Andy Johns, engineer and producer for the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin – for a world tour as Sons of Cream. Though specially filmed video segments help tell the whole story of Cream's history and legacy, this next-generation power trio's ferocious performances of jazz- and blues-infused classics like "White Room" and "Tales of Brave Ulysses" may be the best possible proof of this music's enduring potency in the present day.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Rating: 5 out of 5 An outstanding night of musicianship
by RAGtimeblues on 3/17/13Shank Hall - MilwaukeeI have been a fan of Cream and all of the iterations of bands of Clapton, Bruce, and Baker for 40+ years. It was a very rewarding experience to listen to three very capable musicians, clearly influenced by these three giants, play with respect and focus. They do not try to recreate a not-for note, beat for beat sound. They play the "sound" of Cream with amazing success but with enough humor and self effacement to keep it real. Kofi is a truly outstanding drummer and plays a very capable tribute to his father, as does Malcolm to Jack and Godfrey simply masters the technique of Clapton. We were blown away by the apparent chemistry of the band and I think its because its not for the long haul. Its a moment in time and its clear they are enjoying what they are doing. Final impressions? Malcolm and Godfrey rock and Kofi absolutely nails it. Milwaukee did not show up like they should have but it was a great crowd none-the-less.
