Dr. Lonnie Smith - The Whip

[Joe60ize]

Wonderful Gang!

[SoraEntity101]

I remember when Mr, Lonnie Liston Smith lived in New York and played the after hours clubs in Harlem. He was great then and remains.

[holzg01]

Thanks Lonnie for the many beautiful concerts of yours I had the privilege of seeing over the years in NY City. George from NYUSM.

[SkateYourOwnStyle]

[Pilchmuetze]

He is incredible too!

[HammondHummingbird]

@SkateYourOwnStyle Don't forget Tony Monaco

[SkateYourOwnStyle]

@HammondHummingbird Allright, i just forgott to list him..

[jonankof]

@SkateYourOwnStyle what about john medeski? tony monaco? neal evans? there are plenty of others too, but yeah lonnie and joey are two of the best

[SkateYourOwnStyle]

@jonankof

yeah, you're absolutely right...

[Tattookub]

@SkateYourOwnStyle Have you ever heard of...Tony Monaco... Barbara Dennerlein.... Cameron Carpenter..... ?

[SkateYourOwnStyle]

@Tattookub

of course i have, but back then i just discovered hammond organs and hammond players, so i didn't know them... But now i do ;-)

btw: i don't like Barbara Dennerlein very much, maybe because i'm some kind of a purist if it's about Hammond sound, and i don't like the midi "upright" sound of her bass pedals.

[Tattookub]

@SkateYourOwnStyle Re: purists. When I was younger, I thought I was a purist - until I learned to like "this AND that", rather than "this OR that". I own a Hammond A-100 / Leslie 122 and a Hammond E-100 / Leslie 122 - and 24 other keyboard instruments. They will never be pulled from my hands - BUT - I am also open to other options, and somebody else's take on a situation. Variety is, after all, the true spice of life.

[SkateYourOwnStyle]

@Tattookub

Well, i think Barbara can play very well... But if it's about a B3, i want to hear the real organ. For other sounds, you don't need a B3, you can also use a digital solution, like midi keyboards or sth like that...

BUT: that's only MY PERSONAL OPINION!

I'm also experimenting with digital things, like using a nintendo DS as a synth or combine Jazz patterns with electro beats & add a lot of sound effects etc.

Just like you said: Variety is one of the most important things of life!

[TheSwamiJaneEquation]

@SkateYourOwnStyle dont forget Tony Monaco!

[SkateYourOwnStyle]

@TheSwamiJaneEquation

when i wrote this comment i was new to hammond music and didn't know a lot of good organ players! There are so many good hammond players: Tony Monaco, Jon Lord, Leon Kujpers, Andreas Hellkvist, Raphael Wressnig and many more ;-)

[gcpezzi]

@SkateYourOwnStyle Don't forget Tony Monaco!

[countryfan5]

@SkateYourOwnStyle Don't forget Rhoda Scott.  ;)

[knoblauchtv]

Lonnie Smith is the maaaan!

[knoblauchtv]

no, haven't seen that actually. Is he in it??

[knoblauchtv]

Hope he tours again, I missed his show in Prague. Gotta see him live!!

[GCom67]

This is so wonderful !!

The groove blends spot on with the back ground too :)

5 *****

[rounder2u]

What a great groove! Thanks for sharing!

Good band. Of course the Master himself Lonnie Smith, but also the other guys. Was it an old battered ES-175 guitar? Btw, I think the good sounding sax player had plans for another chorus but Smith held down a block chord to get his attention :-)

Keep swinging,

Rounder

[DynaflowDonnie]

@rounder2u Haha, had'nt noticed that at first glance. Its like hey homes, hang on a sec, Dr's turn. Nice. :D

[kdogg15220]
