Lonnie Smith - Move Your Hand (1969)

Lonnie Smith - Move Your Hand , 1969 Blue Note Records

  A fews years back I totally got into Lonnie Smith after hearing live at Club Mozambique which totally blew me away.  Recorded live in New Jersey's Club Harlem on August 9th 1969 this album totally grooves and grooves with a funky jazz that few live album can hold a candle to.  This album was kindly remastered and released on the limited run of Blue Note's Rare Groove Series which are worth hunting for.   Lonnie Smith is a jazz organist who loved funk as much as jazz and on "Move Your Hand" you will definitely need to move your feet .
