Lonnie Smith Trio - Foxy Lady: Tribute To Jimi Hendrix '1994 [2017]

Tracks list

	Since leaving the Blue Note stable in the '70s, Dr. Smith has recorded for a
slew of record labels, ascending the charts many times. His unpredictable,
insatiable musical taste illustrates that no genre is safe, as Lonnie has
recorded everything from covers of the Beatles, the Stylistics and the
Eurythmics, to tribute albums of Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane and Beck–all by
employing ensembles ranging from a trio to a 15-piece big band. Moreover, many
of Doc's recent compositions reflect dramatic ethereal qualities and
orchestration that elicit movie scores or soundtracks. Dr. Smith has been amused
to find himself sampled in rap, dance and house grooves while being credited as
a forefather of acid jazz. When questioned about his consistent interest in
music some consider outside the jazz "mainstream," Lonnie shrugs. "Jazz is
American Classical," he proclaims. "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!"
