Any fans of Brian Augur out there? No way he was prog but he did do some great experimentation in rock/jazz, especially with vocalist Julie Driscoll. In the early 70s he did a lot to bring some listeners to the likes of Les McCann and Eddie Harris. Glad his recordings are still available for the uninitiated.

A great fan of his work both with Trinity and his gret Oblovion Ewxpress Saw him last november with his group - of which 3/4 is his family Closet To It is their best album, but the debut is fine also Great congas that makes you think of Santana stuff |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

My fave is Befour, mainly because of his great experiment with 5 or 6 drummers on "Listen here." It's a powerful instrumental on its own but when Brian comes in with the Hammond organ solo after the drum break it is ferocious in its intensity. Also their version of "Pavane" is great.

Should check out Auger's own website and webstores for some great surprises: http://www.brianauger.com/discography/discography.html Huge number of musicians he's played with Gary Boyle, Klaus Doldinger, Colin Hodgkinson, Tony Williams and Billy Cobham (on the same gig/album). Niacin's John Novello, sites Auger as one of his main influences. |

Thanks for turning me on to that. What a career he's had! I was in a band in the early 70s that had Indian Rope Man and Save the Country on our song list as well as using Finally Found You Out as a break song. Later on we did his version of Freedom Jazz Dance and Compared to What. Ahh, those were the days!
