"The good Doctor Smith...can claim to be the current
innovator, tastemaker and genuine link between past and present."
— BBC
Ninth in a series of deep-grooving, hard-boogying organ blowouts,
this year the Hammond B-3 Organ swings across the generations.
Since his debut album in 1967, Dr. Lonnie Smith has been a standard
bearer on his B-3. His latest album, Too Damn Hot, packs
forty-years of experience playing everything from hard bop to
Hendrix into a session that, if anything, is named too timidly.
Accompanied by trombonist Fred Wesley, a linchpin of James Brown's
legendary funk band the JB's, the good Doctor is sure to deliver
a smokin' set.
Better known for his “Lester Young-like virtuosity”
(Billboard) and versatility on anything with a reed,
on 2004’s Live at Baker’s Keyboard Lounge
James Carter proved he’s just as comfortable tearing the
roof off the joint. As AllAboutJazz.com wrote, “for
those who don’t know him – or his illustrious associates
-- this is as painless an entry into their audacious world
as you’re apt to find.”
