Hammond organist Brian Auger has been part of the musical scene since the 1960s when he formed The Steampacket with, among others, Rod Stewart. Like Colin Firth, Auger speaks fluent Italian and he recently played at Milan’s Blue Note Jazz Club with his group, Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express. He told us some great stories about his experiences of playing in Italy, but he also mentioned a recent album, Train Keeps A Rolling (on the Membran label) with jazz guitarist Jeff Golub. Golub lost his eyesight in 2011 and Auger says, “I was more than happy to help out an old friend.”
