Coryell, Auger, Sample Trio

In July of 2007, while doing a gig with Julian's father Larry Coryell, Karma and Julian were introduced minutes before walking onstage together. It was quite a special evening and a strong connection was made. After the show they spoke about doing something together and Nick's name was brought up. In early August they all got together for the first time and wrote an album in four hours.

After a day of getting sounds, CAST! went into Julian's studio in Venice and spent three days cutting the album. The strategy was simple: Play down the list, get lunch, do it again. No headphones were used in the making of the record. Just three guys in a room playing. "We basically recorded a live album in the studio. We gave ourselves an opportunity which is so rare in today's clinical approach to recording, we just played."

We hope you enjoy the music. If you do, please let someone else know who may also get some pleasure from it. Thanks for stopping by, God bless, whoever your god may be and as always,

Peace Through Music...

Julian Coryell has been playing and recording music since childhood with everyone from his father (legendary jazz guitarist Larry Coryell) to Carole King, Jewel and Aimee Mann. An Alumnus of the Berklee College of Music, he's also performed with Dave Brubeck, Herbie Hancock and Billy Cobham. He's produced legendary singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen, and recently played to sold out crowds at the world famous Budokan in Tokyo with Japanese rock star Kazuyah Yoshii. Julian's most recent musical passion is CAST!, an eclectic jazz trio with drummer Karma Auger and bassist Nick Sample. Says Julian, "CAST! is my opportunity to take what my father has given me and run with it." CAST! has recently completed their first full length CD and will tour extensively in '08.

Karma Auger's musical education began close to the beginning of his life. His earliest memories are of his father, legendary jazz keyboardist Brian Auger playing electric piano at the house in London. At age 2 Karma was already threading the tape on his father's reel to reel and plugging in headphones to listen to dad's new masters. At age 3 he began playing piano which he still playes today but it wasn't until age 20 that he found his true passion: drums. Since age 21, Karma has been touring and/or engineering/producing tracks for his father and a huge list of world class artists including Eric Burdon (The Animals), Robby Krieger (The Doors) and Billy Cobham to name a few. His understanding of the business rounds out his musical education which Karma owes greatly to his father. "My father has given me a priceless education and I am lucky enough to work with him today."
