Live Performances → Dr. Lonnie Smith
Comments Off
This image of the great Dr. Lonnie Smith was made on April 12th 2010 at the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis. After sitting through about three hours of music with his trio; it appears the good doctor is getting better with age. Lonnie lived in Indianapolis for a short time or as he told me “I stayed in Naptown for a minute”. Some of the guys in Indy that he played with or knew him from his days here came out for the show, most notably drummer Mad Harold Cardwell. Lonnie spent much of his break and an hour or so after the show to pose for photos and sign cds for a long line of fans.
Much of the music he played this night is off of his new, soon to be release recording called “Spiral”.
I spoke with Lonnie for a few minutes, he had some great stories to share about some of the guys in Indy. It was great to have him back in ”Naptown” as Lonnie still refers to it as, after a couple years….I hope he’ll be back soon.
