Brian Auger & The Trinity
"Brian Auger & The Trinity" is a jazz/jazz-rock fusion band formed in Nov. 1964.
Original members: Brian Auger (keyboards), Micky Waller (drums) and Ricky Brown (bass).
By 1965 the band was on hold while English Blues Singer Long John Baldry formed Steampacket with Brian Auger, Rod Stewart, Julie Driscoll and guitarist Vic Briggs. Steampacket lasted a year playing the mix of R&B, blues-jazz and rock.
September 1966 saw a rebirth of the "Trinity" which included Driscoll and Briggs, Gary Boyle (guitars), Roger Sutton (bass) and Clive Thacker (drums). "The idea of the Trinity", he reflects, "was a combination of Blues, Mowtown and Messengers". They released a debut in 1967 titled "Open" from which a Bob Dylan cover reached #5 and put the LP on the charts. "Definitely What" was an instrumental record released in 1968, and "Streetnoise" that same year, with Driscoll on vocals. The outfit disbanded in 1970 after releasing "Befour".
In 1970 Auger formed Brian Auger's Oblivion Express with Jim Mullen (guitars), Barry Dean (bass) and Robbie Macintosh (drums). Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
