Dr. Lonnie Smith Trio at Delray Beach Arts Garage - Jazz Project Music Series at Arts Garage

About

With his long white beard and turban, Hammond B3 wizard Dr. Lonnie Smith was a familiar fixture on the South Florida jazz scene of the '80s and '90s. A breakout star in the 1960s, Dr. Lonnie brought his distinctive, exciting organ sound to the records of George Benson and Lou Donaldson, and cut some classic sides of his own for the Blue Note label. Approaching his 70th birthday in July, Smith continues to prove among the most creative voices on his instrument. James Martin will be on drums and long-time collaborator of Smith’s, Randall Dollahan, will be on guitar.
