Brian Auger and Julie Driscoll first joined forces in Auger’s group The Steampacket, alongside Long John Baldry, Victor Briggs (later of The Animals), and a young Rod Stewart. When Stewart departed in 1966, Auger went on to form The Trinity, and in 1968 he teamed up with producer Giorgio Gomelsky to release the album Jools & Brian.
The record is a compelling collection that captures Driscoll and Auger at their early peak. Assembled by Gomelsky, it brings together Julie Driscoll’s three Parlophone singles with Brian Auger’s three Columbia 45s, creating a neatly curated set of their finest early sides.
Jools & Brian also serves as a vivid snapshot of Swinging London and the sounds that powered it, from The Lovin’ Spoonful’s “I Didn’t Want To Have To Do It” to Booker T’s “Green Onions.” And when Auger unleashes that ferocious Hammond organ—on tracks like “Kiko” and “Fool Killer”—it’s instant time travel back to Eel Pie Island and those heady, anything-goes mod/soul/jazz days.
