	VH1.com : Brian Auger : Biography
		Brian Auger was raised in London, where he took up the keyboards as a child and began to hear jazz by way of the American Armed Forces Network and an older brother's record
		Auger retained Driscoll and brought in bass player Dave Ambrose and drummer Clive Thacker to form a unit that was billed as Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity.
		Their initial LP, Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, was released in 1971, followed later the same year by A Better Land, but their first U.S. chart LP was Second Wind in June 1972, the album that marked the debut of singer Alex Ligertwood with the band.

	Brian Auger : Definitely What! - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Auger dominates the record not just with his organ, but also as composer of most of the original material, and as the vocalist.
		Auger was a good organ player, but not up to the level of the best British rock electric keyboardists of the 1960s, like Alan Price, Rod Argent, Graham Bond, and Vincent Crane.
		Auger's principal influences are obvious in the songs he covers by Booker T. & the MG's, Wes Montgomery, and Mose Allison, although there's also an odd version of "A Day in the Life" that is bolstered by an orchestra's worth of horns and strings.

		Trinity dissolved in the early '70s because, as Auger remembers, "it became a power-trip thing, and people were more interested in who we were seeing and what we were wearing." In response, he decided to form a "rolling school" influenced by Art Blakey's experience with the ever-changing lineup of the Jazz Messengers.
		Auger describes the '80s, when the highly processed pop machine got in gear, as hang-in-there years for his music, but in the '90s, he was spurred on by rare groove DJs spinning his material in London clubs; while he's now based in California, he's being called "the godfather of acid jazz" in the UK.
		Auger is taking the Express back on the road, and the latest edition of the "rolling school" features Cleveland's Chris Golden on bass, as well as a couple of students who've obviously benefited from some home tutoring: Auger's son, Karma, on drums, and his daughter, Savannah, on vocals.

	Variety.com - Reviews - Brian Auger's Oblivion Express
		More than 30 years after Brian Auger's original Oblivion Express was a leader in decimating the boundaries between rock 'n' roll, R&BR&B and the funkier side of jazz, a reappraisal of his work is certainly in order.
		Organist Auger remains a fierce and inventive force on the keys, as he romped through his own material, '60s jazz funk and a little gospel before a packed house Friday at the Baked Potato.
		The performance by Auger, who may well be the only person to have opened for both Herbie Hancock and Led Zeppelin, celebrated the release of "Auger Rhythms," a two-CD career overview on Serious/Quicksilver Records that stretches from his early '60s London bebop days through the OE's early '70s prime.

		Driscoll was secretary of manager Georgio Gomelsky, who also managed Yardbirds; Auger played harpsichord on their 'For Your Love' '65.
		Steampacket's vocalists and Auger's instrumentals were showcased separately on stage, his distinctive, distorted organ sound produced by playing the Hammond through a guitar valve (tube) amplifier.
		Like Baldry and others of that era, Auger's fate was to be remembered as much for whom he played with as for his music.

	SoundStage! Brian Auger - Auger Rhythms: Brian Auger's Musical History
		Auger anticipated fusion by a couple of years, mixing jazz and pop music in 1967 with the third incarnation of the Brian Auger Trinity.
		Auger’s success at adapting well-known rock tunes varied, but when things clicked, as they did on Donovan’s "Season of the Witch" and the Doors’ "Light My Fire," he was able to integrate his improvisational skills as a jazz musician with a straightforward rock beat.
		Savannah Auger sings on the Oblivion Express tune and Ali Auger closes the set with a standard, "The Lady’s in Love," where her father returns to straight-ahead-jazz piano playing.

	Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, Voices of Other Times
		In the '80s and '90s, Auger releases became sporadic and although his career never regained the momentum of the Oblivion Express period, his talent kept happily resurfacing.

		Auger fans hearing this new disc for the first time will be both shocked and amazed that after all these years there is a new Oblivion Express that not only sounds right but is even better than before.

	OjO in TO 2
		Savannah Grace Auger is a slutty little chanteuse, probably in her early 20s, and this night she was wearing tight jeans over longish tight legs and shortish tight ass, with a sort of diaphenous, silky top, that started around the neck with a Gibson-Girl choker, adorned with a large chunk of stage
		Most of the time she's not singing as the band is chugging through its jazz chops, and during those moments Savannah slightly cocks her head, closes her eyes, lifts her arms to shoulder level, brings her hands in around her chin, and swivels her hips to the whump of her brother's bass drum behind her.
		Brian also likes to do funny little endearing raps between songs, and his best made fun of his age.

		Brian Auger still insists on lugging around his Hammond B-3.
		Auger himself had an epiphany the first time he heard one, and it's not hard to hear why he hangs on to his.
		Auger has collaborated with a laundry list of luminaries -- Jimmy Page, Rod Stewart and Animals singer Eric Burdon among them -- but it's his resurrected Oblivion Express that still has him happily dragging his B-3 bomber around after forty years in the business.

		BRIAN AUGER: Dad played a little piano and always managed to keep a piano in the house, although resources were slim, and our house was destroyed around us by German bombs in 1944 just before my 5th birthday.
		BRIAN AUGER: Mainly the ones I mentioned earlier, but when I first heard Oscar Peterson on AM, I was so amazed by his technique and sense of swing that I tried to play like him, or at least to swing like him.
		BRIAN AUGER: I played piano and because I was not expected to earn a living doing that, I was not sent to school and taught myself by listening to records.

	Jelly review: Brian Auger
		Okay, so maybe Auger was fusing jazz and rock elements, but to my ear his work with Oblivion Express sounds like exploration, not simply practice within a genre.
		Auger ranks among the best as a technician, his harmonic sensibilities put him in league with Larry Young, and his tone is unmistakably his own.

	BBC - Classic Rock/Pop Review - Brian Auger Julie Driscoll & The Trinity, Open, Definitely What!, Streetnoise
		Brian's stated intention had always been to overlay soul and funk rhythms with jazz harmonies and solos and all three of these recording are packed with this very individual approach.
		Driscoll (a fellow refugee from Auger's previous 60s supergroup The Steampacket) carved out a highly individual style, proving that she was undoubtedly the only British, white singer who had the skill and ability to bring the necessary gravitas to covers of US soul, like Aretha's ''Save Me''.
		Brian's Jimmy Smith jazz approach sits alongside that mildly camp Goons-like humour so in vogue at the time.
