Dr. Lonnie Smith, the legendary Hammond B-3 organist, delivers a captivating live performance on Breathe, released in 2021 on the iconic Blue Note label. Recorded with an expanded ensemble featuring Jonathan Kreisberg on guitar, Johnathan Blake on drums, and a full brass section including Sean Jones on trumpet and Robin Eubanks on trombone, the album showcases Smith's unparalleled ability to blend soul, jazz, and groove into something entirely his own.
What makes Breathe truly unforgettable is its unexpected pairing of Dr. Lonnie Smith with rock legend Iggy Pop on two studio tracks, including a soulful take on Timmy Thomas' 1972 classic "Why Can't We Live Together" and a sublime cover of Donovan's psychedelic 1966 hit "Sunshine Superman." This bold collision of jazz, soul, and rock makes for a listening experience unlike anything else in Smith's storied catalog, and a genuinely exciting addition to any jazz collection.
