Brian Auger: Back From Oblivion
Dave Thompson, Goldmine, 14 April 1995
BRING UP the subject of jazz-rock fusion, and for sure Brian Auger will be one of the first names you think of. Over the past 25 years, Auger with the Trinity, Oblivion Express and under his own name has in turn invented, pioneered and developed the genre, and in such a way that he has managed to maintain the respect (and perhaps more importantly, the ears) of fans on both sides of the fence.
