Brian Auger's role in jazz history isn't well-known -- at least, not when compared to the exposure that artists such as, say, Miles Davis or Sonny Rollins have received -- but that's not to say it's insignificant. Quite the opposite, really. This London, Englandborn organist was among the first musicians to combine the sounds of rock and jazz. And that was in 1965. His creation was groove-heavy, plugged-in and as likely to feature vigorous, extended solos as it was aggressive vocals. It was jazzrock done right.
Most of us probably think of New Orleans, New York, and Los Angeles as places of jazz innovation. When we think of London, we think of Buckingham Palace, pubs and red telephone booths. But in the early 1960s, London was where organist Brian Auger began experimentally knitting jazz together with rock.
Director Paul Verhoeven ("Basic Instinct," "Showgirls") is 72. Singer Brian Auger is 71.
Jazz/rock fusion legend Brian Auger returns to Gilly's, 132 S. Jefferson, tonight, Aug. 28, for a night of driving, soulful Hammond B-3 music. Known as the "Godfather of acid jazz," Auger forged the sound that became known as fusion and has recorded more than 20 albums, his bands have featured the likes of Rod Stewart, the Yardbirds, Long John Baldry, Julie Driscoll and Jimi Hendrix, and he has played with some of the music world's most prominent figures from all genres.
Wicked"-back by "popular" demand. The New York Times calls "Wicked" "Broadway's biggest blockbuster," and when it first played Pittsburgh in 2006, it broke box office records and sold out in record time. Catch it Sept. 3-Oct. 5 at the Benedum. The following evening brings the inaugural midwest tour of the sons of Larry Coryell (Julian), Brian Auger of Oblivion Express (Karma) and Joe Sample (Nicklas); collectively known as CAST to Moondogs, where they will prove that "the nut doesn't fall far from the tree." The esoteric vibe continues on Saturday when City of Asylum's fourth annual Free Jazz-Poetry Concert to protect and showcase endangered literary voices turns Sampsonia Way-a tiny inner-city alley on Pittsburgh's North Side-into a site of world-class performances spanning the discip...
Back in the day the Hammond B3 organ--the "Beast"--didn't just pulse throughout smoky organ rooms like Harlem's Small's Paradise or Newark's Key Club. No ma'am, those cagey Brits--folks like Steve Winwood, Keith Emerson and Brian Auger--heard the tone-wheeled magic being generated by the likes of James Oscar Smith, Jimmy McGriff, Shirley Scott, Jack McDuff and so many more, and honed their own hodgepodge--granted, mostly sans footpedals--of organ jazz, rock and R&B. Brooklyn-based soul slinger [SHARON JONES] and her mighty Dap-King crew bring such an adroit melange of thick funk and sweet soul you can easily mistake this album for some overlooked 1972 gem. Nope, it's all 2005 and it's all good. Burnin' originals "My Man Is a Mean Man" and "Fish in My Dish" play well with a scorchin'...
