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..." Joe Robinson 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.

He did some nice music in 69 with Tony Williams Lifetime. "Emergency" was one of my favourite music some years ago. Yeah, have heard of Tony Williams too, the drummer. I never really spent much time listening to fusion. It has sort of a bad reputation among more purist jazz musicians. More of a post-bop man myself: Monk, Ornette Coleman etc. then all the New York improvisational stuff (80's). Then Fred Frith and his sort of idiosyncratic activities and projects. But that was a couple of years ago and I've lost track of it all at this point. RA

Yeah, have heard of Tony Williams too, the drummer. I never Fred Frith etc, music with shaver. Its difficult to say that Lifetime is fusion. He was the drummer of...and its a trio, John Mc, and Organ. What later became "fusion" wasnt yet developed. The other tape I heard those day was the soundtrack of Blow Up, definitely fluxus, isnt it ;-)
Re: FLUXLIST: query/ Graham Bond Organisation/Julie Driscoll
with 16 or so, is Julie Driscoll. And there is Laura Nyro. In the USA. I've heard of Laura Nyro of course but never actually heard her music. Its a pity. I'm not familiar with at all, probably because she's European. You mean she had her greatest hits when she was 16? Yep, together with Brian Auger and the Trinity. Some hits and then some kind of early Carla Bley, "1969". And Free Jazz Sol probably knows more. "Swinging London." Maybe this has some fluxus content...
