An authentic master and guru of the Hammond B-3 for more than five decades, Dr. Lonnie Smith is a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master who is still progressing as an artist at age 73. Due to his wide-ranging musical taste, Dr. Lonnie Smith has covered everything from John Coltrane to Jimi Hendrix to Beck, with interpretations involving foot-tapping grooves, sophisticated harmonic voicings and indelible melodicism. His trio includes guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg and drummer Johnathan Blake. JazzTimes recently wrote: “Just when you think you’ve heard everything that organ jazz has to offer, Dr. Lonnie Smith evolves.”
