Kofi's Bio Kofi's first live performance was with his father - Ginger Baker - on the UK television show "The Old Grey Whistle Test"; he's been playing before the public ever since. In the early 80's, Kofi and his father played drum duets throughout Europe; amazing audiences with their complex African rythms. Later, Kofi toured with John Ethridge (Soft Machine), and gigged in London with Steve Waller (Manfred Mann), and with Randy California (Spirit). He also toured Europe with Steve Marriot's Humble Pie. During the 1990's Kofi toured with Jack Bruce in Budapest; signed with Scotty Brothers Records when he recorded the album Lost City; recorded Abstract Logic with Jonas Hellborg and Shawn Lane; and toured extensivley - including more drum duets with Ginger. Kofi, now living in L.A., has formed, and plays in, a number of bands: two of these are Tapestry with Ric Fierabracci and Brett Garsed, and OHM - a jazz fusion outfit with Chris Poland (of Megadeth) on guitar, and Robert Pagliari on bass. Kofi Baker's Tribute to Cream is his latest inspiration - a powerful trio that rivals that of Cream. For bookings, you can contact Kofi at (310) 4287391 or by email at kofibaker@hotmail.com
