Lonnie Smith – Think! (CD)
Product Details
Lonnie Smith's Hammond B-3 has always been a congregation unto itself, and this 1968 session catches him at the exact moment he was stepping out from sideman work into a voice entirely his own. The combination of Lee Morgan's hard bop fire and David "Fathead" Newman's Texas tenor saxophone makes for a front line that few organ dates of the era could match.
Organist Lonnie Smith is as explosive as he is soulful. After building a reputation with Lou Donaldson and George Benson, he made his Blue Note debut in 1968 with this groove-drenched date that features Lee Morgan and David 'Fathead' Newman. A trio of percussionists intensify the rhythm on Lonnie's two originals. Rudy Van Gelder re-mastered edition. Blue Note. 2005.
