Dr. Lonnie Smith: Jungle Soul

Read "Jungle Soul" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Non c’è nessuna ragione che lo abbia spinto ad indossare un turbante né ad assumere l’appellattivo di Doctor Lonnie Smith. Almeno, così lui dice. Nessuno lo sa, nemmeno lui. 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 ...

The formidable doctor of organ jazz has been recording under his own name for almost forty years. His title is not an academic or medical recognition but rather a nod from his fellow musicians that acknowledge his ability to “doctor" the music. This is The Turbanator's first release under the Palmetto banner and he gets off ...

Dr. Lonnie Smith: Too Damn Hot!

Read "Too Damn Hot!" reviewed 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 ...
