CD Reviews

A smart reunion

William R. Nicholas | Mahwah, NJ USA | 06/07/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Brian Auger and Julie Driscol did a few albums in the late 60s that featured Hammond Organ, a mix of soul and avant jazz, and the social themes of the era. After this they went their own directions, and Julie married King Crimson sideman Keith Tippet, hence the name change. In the mid-70s, they came back with Encore.

Encore plays its hand very smartly. Gone are the Hammond organs and protest lyrics. These two musicians left the 60s behind. Instead, Encore features female backup singers, pollished Fender Rhodes and funky 70s bass, and a laid back yet substative rock jazz feel. Driscols voice is more restrained, and classy, but has not lost its clear bell impact. They do some very enjoable originals, and cover "Don't Let me be Misunderstood," and "Rope Ladder to the Moon."

All the music here is sublime yet effective. It is never commercially slick, nor does it ever fall into 70s prog meandering. \

A great album from start to finish"
