Definitive Hammond b3 organist Dr. Lonnie Smith is the jazz, blues, and R&B guru of the music industry. Having recorded on over seventy albums with masters such as George Benson and Lou Donaldson, Dr. Lonnie Smith is one of the few jazz artist to successfully and continuously cut across almost all genres of music; from covers of the Beatles, and the Eurythmics, to tribute albums of Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane and Beck. Jazz Times magazine describes him as "a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a turban!" Joining Lonnie tonight is drummer Herlin Riley, Guitarist Detroit Brooks, and master saxophonist Donald Harrison.
