“Jazz is American Classical,” declares Dr. Lonnie Smith, “and this music is a reflection of what’s happening at the time. The organ is like the sunlight, rain and thunder – it’s all the worldly sounds to me!” Last January, the legendary groovemaster of the Hammond B–3 released Evolution – his first new album for Blue Note Records in 45 years, recorded with a powerhouse two–drummer band that also featured special guests Robert Glasper and Joe Lovano. “The wisdom he's gained in the intervening years is parceled out in his every gesture, flourish, and note,” wrote Dan Bilawsky at AllAboutJazz.com. “Evolution is but a single album, yet it speaks to a lifetime of music making from one of our most treasured organists.”
