DR. LONNIE SMITH SAYS THE SOUND OF THE HAMMOND B3 ORGAN IS, WELL, EVERYTHING.
Dr. Lonnie Smith: Yeah. And that organ just sounds so sweet. It says everything that I want to say that I cannot say. It’ll say it when I play it. Organ up and hot The earth, the whole heavens just opens up on you. It’s like the expressions, oh, it’s so beautiful. Then it quiets down, you quiet it down. Oh, it comes down so nice. You could be there and feel the vibration of it. It’s just goes all through your body. It fulfills me in my journey. That’s why I love it, you know.THIS JAZZ MOMENT WITH NEA JAZZ MASTER DR.
