Not bad for someone who is 75 next year and said
he was retiring from touring!
Now we just need a new studio album.

Clapton for some reason outside of from the cradle and the tribute to Robert Johnson seems to shy away from straight up blues albums

That's true.
However Eric has often included some old blues standards along with others on his albums.
Not been a prolific writer, he has had to.
Wish The Stones had followed his example!

Uum...well, Ginger once said in an interview around the time his book was published, that his best friends were Eric Clapton and Steve Winwoood.

It appears like both Jack and Ginger knew that musically they made a very good team, they just couldn't get along on a personal level.
Ginger used to complain about Jack playing too loud or interrupting his solos, in addition to him feeling he should have gotten a writer's credit for Jack's songs in Cream. BBM was certainly financially motivated (at least to some extent) and Ginger said quite openly that money was the main (sole?) cause for him to join.
I haven't read Jack's autobio so I don't know too much about his perspective. In interviews he just said in a very general way that Ginger was impossible to get along with.
Where is this supposed to take place ?Quote

Just announced: @EricClapton & Friends will perform a one-time only concert on 17 February to celebrate the musical life of Ginger Baker.
