AUGER, BRIAN - Straight Ahead (1974)

2008-02-07 21:43:33 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Auger added to this site about a week ago and I think I do agree that his music should be featured here at this comprehensive site. The main reason is that the music of Brian Auger brings together the beauty of jazz music blended nicely with classic rock using unique keyboard work by the maestro. I knew the name of Brian Auger when I was...

...Auger's Hammond B3 insinuate their presence, until about a minute and a half into the piece, where Brian unleashes a few of the fireworks he's rightly famous for - stabs and slides based on some of Jimmy Smith's techniques, but much more aggressive Isola Natale has much more impact, as the bass is brought higher in the mix, and a heavy groove...

...Auger, drummer Thacker and bassist Ambrose do provide a good background for Jools, but dont shine much like in their excellent Befour album, but there is some good brass arrangements on some of these tracks In terms of quality of choice, Motown dominates this selection, some tracks being particularly successful (Road To Cairo, Save Me and...

...Auger, Ambrose and Thacker are now so used to. Overall Id say that most of the covers would sound a bit like a made-for- supermarket music if it werent for Ogres huge Aurgan and his tempestuous interventions. Indeed covers of Beatles Day In Life, If You Live (a straight blues) or JBs Body (the standard track) might sound a bit odd and even...

AUGER, BRIAN - Brian Auger's Oblivion Express (1970) [rated 4/5 by Sean Trane]

2008-01-25 09:19:05 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Auger. At the start of the track, Auger changes from piano to organ to electric piano, but later seem unfortunately to get his finger stuck on his Hammond. The hard-driving jazz-rock The Light gives us a chance to hear Brians voice, which is apt, but hes strongly helped out by Dean and Mullen in the chorus. The track strolls on 100 MPH on...

...Auger attack) shines on quite a few places. Engineered by Eddie Offord (Yess CTTE), the album got an uninventive flowery artwork, but it came with minimum three covers, depending on the country of release Starting on the exciting Sly Stone track, I Want To Take You Higher, Trinity indeed does just that, it enchants us, even if Afro-Americans...

...Auger, unfortunetly most of it is not very good. The album starts off nicely with two 60s instrumental hipster lounge jazz numbers that feature Brian's great Hammond playing. This is a great style for Brian and shows his playing progressing nicely from his first album. Both of these songs also have much better production than his first album...

...Auger albums have such mediocre guitarists, its nice to hear him being pushed by someone with comparable chops There are a couple of vocal numbers on this record, but they seem like filler compared to the instrumentals. This style of rocking jazz hipster lounge music enjoyed a resurgance of popularity in the early to mid-90s when acid jazz...

...Auger treatment, Jools voice never being more impressive and beautifully seconded by Brian (his strongest performance in his career, IMHO) and Ambrose. Remarkably divided in four sides of four tracks, by making a bit of a selection and lengthening the sides length, they couldve made a complete superstar single disc album Right from the first...
