jazzkrow Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Lonnie Smith is coming to town-at the Blue Monk this weekend in Portland. He's backed by the Vancouver, BC band "Crush." Double M and I are going tonight! Any other Northwesterners plan on showing up? I can't remember Lonnie ever gracing our town before-at least since '85 when I arrived! Too bad he wasn't bringing along Sweet Poppa Lou (Donaldson)... (You can dream can't you..) -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I just ordered the Crush cd with Lonnie on it this morning. Won't be able to make the show, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I just ordered the Crush cd with Lonnie on it this morning. That is a VERY good side. If they offer it for sale at the gig, buy one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Whoops, that's Crash, not Crush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Oh, the side with Crash is even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleM Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Well, the show was excellent. Lonnie Smith has lost nothing. Krow and I were both deeply impressed by the FUNK laid down by Mr. Turbanstein. Crash were cool, too. Tonight will be as good, or better.

jazzkrow Posted June 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 You can say that again! Simply the best display of live B-3 virtousity I have ever heard-including the legendary Jimmy Smith. Lonnie was all over the organ-and what a kind gentleman- sitting down with Matt and I to visit!! WHAT A NIGHT.... -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
