Hi,
Only a couple of weeks until Dr Lonnie Smith visits The Basement in Brighton as part of the ongoing kineojazz series.
Who is Dr Lonnie Smith?
Dr. Lonnie Smith is an authentic Master of the Hammond B3 organ. For over five decades he has furthered the sound of Jazz Organ, created a worldwide fan-base, and revealed his musical talents on over seventy albums. Today, his name is truly synonymous with the instrument.
Dr. Smith has recorded and performed with George Benson, Lou Donaldson, Randy Brecker, John Abercrombie, Marvin "Smitty" Smith, Ronnie Cuber, Kenny Garrett, Lenny White, Reuben Wilson, Lee Morgan, David 'Fat Head' Newman, King Curtis, Blue Mitchell, Joe Lovano, Jimmy McGriff, Frank Foster, Ron Carter, Grover Washington, Jr., Dizzy Gillespie and virtually anyone else you care to name. A prolific creative force and innovator, his musical evolution has included recording everything from tribute albums to Jimi Hendrix and John Coltrane to straight-ahead jazz, funk and acid-jazz recordings.
During the past decade there has been a resurgence of interest in the Hammond B3 and Dr. Smith has been amused to find himself sampled in rap, dance and house grooves while being credited as a forefather of Acid Jazz. His recent critically acclaimed recording of pop star Beck's tunes, including "Loser," has secured his relevance with yet another generation of music fans.

At The Basement he is joined by two of great New York musicians - Jonathan Kreisberg (an established jazz guitar with a big reputation) and Jamire Williams (he's played with Robert Glasper amongst others and is par of a new breed combing drum & bass/hip hop etc. with the jazz tradition).
What kind of doctor is he?
Goodness knows. Come along and find out!
