Brian Auger should be considered in the catagory of
Jazz/Funk/Blues/Rock keyboard player of the first degree !!!
He was extremely influential/popular from the the late 60's to the mid
1970's on both sides of the Atlantic.
He influenced groups such as Passport, Average White Band, Les McCann
and others.
Some key albums are:
Oblivion Express
Brian Augur Live at the Whiskey-a-Go Go
Reinforcements
Check his stuff out !!!!
I recommend Oblivion Express wholeheartedly!!!!!!!! Some wild organ and
progressive arrangements. Also, a pretty kickin' version of "Compared to
What."
funk is it's own reward,
