DR. LONNIE SMITH - BREATHE

  • Dr. Lonnie Smith: Breathe
        (2021, cd, USA, blue note)
Hammon B-3 organ legend Dr. Lonnie Smith did a series of concerts in New York City in 2017, celebrating his 75th birthday.
For this particular recording, the band featured Jonathan Kreisberg on guitar, Johnathan Blake on drums, John Ellis on tenor saxophone, Jason Marshall on baritone saxophone, Sean Jones on trumpet, and Robin Eubanks on trombone.
Add two studio tracks that feature Iggy Pop, and you've got "Breathe", a beautiful, soulful album.
I enjoyed it as a digital download, but it's also out on CD and on 2LP.

Here's the opening track:
