Dr. Lonnie Smith: Jungle Soul

by AAJ Italy Staff

Di sicuro sa far suonare molto bene l’organo Hammond B3 a tal punto da guadagnarsi nella sua lunga e fortunata carriera il premio come miglior organista nel ...

Dr. Lonnie Smith: Too Damn Hot!

by Joel Roberts
I'm not sure where his doctorate or trademark turban come from, but there's no doubting Dr. Lonnie Smith's credentials when it comes to scorching soul jazz organ. From his landmark '60s turns with George Benson and Lou Donaldson (with whom he still appears regularly) to last year's surprising album of Beck tunes, Smith has proven himself ...
