The great master of the Hammond B3 organ, Dr. Lonnie Smith, passed away in September 2021 at 79. Smith enjoyed a more than 50-year career at the vanguard of soul jazz.

For Greasy Street, guitarist Richie Hart augments his usual trio with bassist Joe Corsello and drummer Rick Petrone to include a band of players who bring a welcome dimension to the music.

Richie Hart: Greasy Street

by David Miller
October 9, 2005

Richie Hart isn't breaking down any barriers with his music. If you're looking for intellectual listening, Greasy Street isn't the record for you. That said, I loved it. Hart and his compatriots (Rick Petrone, Joe Corsello, Clifton Anderson, Pete Levin, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Jerry Weldon) have created a blues-inflected whale of a good time.

Richie Hart: Greasy Street

by Michael P. Gladstone
October 8, 2005

Guitarist Richie Hart wisely works the intersection of two thoroughfares.

With a blues-soaked sensibility and strong rhythmic drive, guitarist Richie Hart's Blues in the Alley is aptly named, given his propensity for blues form and feel. But that doesn't mean that the record is anything approaching monotonous, as Hart and his trio companions, bassist Rick Petrone and percussionist Joe Corsello, explore everything from the swing blues ...

Richie Hart leads a stellar band that captures the classic guitar/organ combo sound accurately with a swinging groove. His original compositions ensure that jazz and blues will find a comfortable seat every time his unit takes the stage. With his trio, Hart interprets “Sandu" in a classic repose. His guitar brings back the song's ...
