Details: Hammond B-3 organ legend Dr. Lonnie Smith releases All in My Mind, a spirited live trio album that the NEA Jazz Master recorded during his 75th birthday celebration at the Jazz Standard in New York City this past summer. The album is the follow-up to his acclaimed 2016 release Evolution, which marked Smith's return to Blue Note Records - At 75 years old Smith still reigns as a master of innovation and experimentation. He may have been away from Blue Note for 46 years, but he perfectly fits in with the current mission of label president Don Was to present the future movements of jazz as well as honoring those who forged the tradition. "Dr. Lonnie Smith returns to the Blue Note label with an album that reveals the enduring appeal of organ soul," raved The Wall Street Journal in a 2016 review of Evolution, adding that the album "showcases a variety of organ-soul stylings [and] demonstrates the versatility and currency of the style."
