Lou Donaldson and Dr. Lonnie Smith

[Hardbopjazz]

Lou Donaldson will be playing the Village Vanguard at the end of the month. He is reunited with Dr. Lonnie Smith. If you're in NYC, you have to check them out. I was wondering why for the past 3 or 4 years Lou and Lonnie stopped playing together. Anyone have any information on this?

I've seen them in the past 2 years together but I would agree they have spent more time playing apart than together for a while....not sure why other than maybe Lonnie wants to bring his own band on the road?

Maybe Lonnie's tired of playing the same 10 songs.

Maybe Lonnie's tired of playing the same 10 songs.

And hearing the same stage patter.

Maybe he likes fusion and is not confused by it.
