I've got a vinyl procured from a garage sale that I've worn to death called "Encore"
Brian
Auger & Julie Tippetts. Recorded October and November 1977 at Different Fur Studios,
San
Francisco. Cover says, about Julie Tippetts:
"Schooled on Oscar Brown, Nina Simone and Miles Davis, she also learned her lessons
well.
As the focal point of The Trinity, Julie Driscoll helped direct their completemely
anomalous
role in middle 60's pop...Julie's superb jazz phrasing, her husky bluesish bent and the
improvisational nature of Brian's playing were being taken into account. It was an
exciting
time...She's worked on and off with her husband keyboardist Keith Tippetts, in his
52-piece
free-form orchestra, Centipede, and in a four-piece dedicated to unwritten performance
called Ovary Lodge. With four other singers early in '77 she formed the vanguard vocal
ensemble Voice, whose repertoire of composed and improvised music has proven an
particular
hit on the Continent..."

I'm back from out of town and just catching up on messages - there may be something
later on
her on fluxlist, but, I would love to find out what Julie Tippetts is up to - she is
one of
the finest vocalists I've ever heard, and if I could actually find the vinyl that
belongs
in the album cover and play it, it would still be more than timely.
