b. 8 June 1947, London, England. Driscoll was employed by producer/manager Giorgio Gomelsky as administrator of the Yardbirds‘ fan club when the former suggested a singing career. Her singles included a cover version of the Lovin‘ Spoonful’s „Didn’t Want To Have To Do It“ (1965) and an early Randy Newman composition „If You Should Ever Leave Me“ (1967), but this period is better recalled for Driscoll’s membership of Steam Packet, an R&B-styled revue which also featured Long John Baldry, Rod Stewart and the Brian Auger Trinity. Driscoll remained with the last-named act when the larger group folded, and in 1968 had a number 5 hit with Bob Dylan’s „This Wheel’s On Fire“. Her striking appearance engendered much publicity, and a cool, almost disinterested vocal style formed the ideal counterpoint to Auger’s jazz-based ambitions.
„Jools“ left the group following the release of Streetnoise in order to pursue a more radical direction. She contributed to B.B. Blunder’s Workers Playtime, and released the excellent 1969, which featured support from members of the Soft Machine, Nucleus and Blossom Toes as well as pianist Keith Tippett, whom the singer later married. She has since appeared on many of her husband’s avant garde jazz creations, notably Centipede’s Septober Energy (1971) and Ark’s expansive Frames (Music For An Imaginary Film) (1978), as well appearing and recording with Maggie Nicols and the experimental vocal quartet Voice. Her first album in over 20 years, Shadow Puppeteer, was released at the end of 1999. Although challenging, it is an interesting suite of avant garde vocal experimentation.
