Definitely What!
More Info
The ground- breaking, unique jazz/R&B/pop group Brian Auger & The Trinity were formed from the ashes of Long John Baldryâs and Brian Augerâs previous group bandThe Steampacket, an R&B Revue collective, which also featured a then barely known Rod Stewart and Julie Driscoll.
Adding the UKs then greatest soul/pop singer Julie Driscoll to this new collective meant that not only did the band have a unique, beautiful voice and face to front the group â Driscoll also embodied everything about the 1960s fashionable It Girl; her sound, her clothes, hair styles and make up assured that nearly as many column inches were dedicated to her stylish demeanour as much as the bandâs genre bending music.
The group were the one of the first too to intentionally set out to break down musical barriers â Brian himself specifically stated in the sleeve notes for 1968s âDefinitely What!â album that his concept âlies along a straight line drawn between pop and jazz and aims at the âfusionâ of both elementsâ. âFusionâ at that time was not even a recognised musical term, reinforcing Augerâs credentials as an originator and innovator.
180 Gram vinyl reissue.
