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
Re: FLUXLIST: query/ Graham Bond Organisation/Julie Driscoll
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
Of course I've heard of Sun Ra and his Cosmic Arkestra but never Graham Bond. Who Father of "Graham Bond Organisation". I dont remember all the groups and people he played with. A certain strangeness. He didnt make so much ado about space etc like Sun Ra, but he lived in a different world, sotosay, too. Maybe there in a rock music dictionary somewhere near you. I only have a tape somewhere. Radio feature. Or lets put it this way: an important figure in the british rockscene of the 60s and early 70s who played with.. Another important person, together with Keith T. in a public telephone cell phoning with the children somewhere in europe, she had her greatest hits with 16 or so, is Julie Driscoll. And there is Laura Nyro. In the USA. I think "Graham Bond Organisation" was one of the first bands of John McLaughlin. Has anybody records of this ? The space, escalator over the hill, wonderwall. Etcpp. H.

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.

I saw Graham Bond on numerous occasions - Ginger Baker was drummer in the Organisation's earliest incarnation (Bond later played in Baker's post-Cream 'Airforce'). I'm not sue whether McLaughlin actually recorded with Bond though... He may be on an early live album they issued. Gerald O'Connell http://www.wonderport.com

The live album, which I had on 8-track long ago and really wish I could replace, was recorded after Dick Heckstall-Smith replaced McLaughlin. The only released tracks with McLauglin came out on a compliation in the 80s. (Something else I wish I could find.)

That's right, Heckstall-Smith then joined the post Peter Green (he is continuing his rehabilitation from paranoid schizophrenia, I hear) John Mayall lineup. There were cries of 'traitor' and 'soul band' amongst angered blues fans when the horn section first appeared - obviously from people who had only ever heard the Anglicised Article then prevalent !
