Second Wind
Brian Auger's Oblivion Express
REFERENCE: DISC 1911 CD
BAR CODE: 0
Brian Auger's contribution to music has been considerable, someone who has demonstrated a rare devotion and dedication and who has always been prepared to make sacrifices for what he believed was right. Today, and perhaps belatedly, he is finally acknowledged as one of the most considerable influences in the development of new musical forms, based upon the fusion of two elements, pop and jazz.
Tracklisting:
1. Truth
2. Don't Look Away
3. Somebody Help Us
4. Freedom Jazz Dance
5. Just Me, Just You
6. Second Wind
Recorded in 1972
AMG Review:
With a distinctive Hammond B-3 sound (not run through a Leslie cabinet), percussive groove and jazz changes, Brian Auger and band stir up a funky fury on this album. The sound, while reminiscent of jazz great Jimmy Smith, is unique. Though Alex Ligertwood's vocals tend to get in the way at times, the guitar and keyboard interplay and soloing make for a satisfying blend on this highly recommended release.
