The Profile

Baker Gurvitz Army were a British rock group formed in 1974 by drummer Ginger Baker with brothers Adrian and Paul Gurvitz. Blending hard rock and progressive elements, they released three studio albums before disbanding in 1976.

Formed by Ginger Baker with Adrian and Paul Gurvitz; active 1974–1976; released the albums Baker Gurvitz Army (1974), Elysian Encounter (1975), and Hearts on Fire (1976).

A single review covers the 1974 self-titled debut: a heavy/prog hybrid with standout drumming from Ginger Baker and uneven songwriting. Highlights include Help Me, Love Is, and 4Phil; weaker moments are Inside of me and I Wanna Live Again. The verdict is modestly positive, noting confusion and haste in composition but rewarding performances for 70s rock devotees.

Notable Quotes

❝ We are in 1974. Baker has been an ex-Cream for six years now, and his drums no longer set the rhythm for Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton; now he has the brothers Adrian and Paul Gurvitz, with whom he composes the eponymous debut in question.
