Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger & The Trinity - Streetnoise (LP)

Brian Auger's 'Streetnoise', recorded in 1969 with Julie Driscoll and The Trinity, stands as a landmark of late 1960s eclecticism, where the boundaries of jazz, rock, folk, and soul blur into a cohesive, genre-defying masterpiece. Auger was moving The Trinity on from their R&B, jazz beginnings and for Streetnoise, together with Driscoll, delivered a record that channelled their mutually progressive vision. Julie's haunting vocal performances were the perfect counterpoint to Auger's innovative instrumentation, creating a sound that was both avant-garde yet deeply soulful. 'We aimed to challenge expectations, ' Auger recalls. 'Every track was a canvas to experiment and push the envelope'.
