Returning to his staple organ-guitar-drums format, Smith generates heat and light by way of finely nuanced solos over leisurely but funky grooves. His artful changes of texture on the B3’s two keyboards and delightfully punchy use of the bass pedals are those of a master at work.

Dr. Lonnie Smith is back with more soul-jazz grooves and consciousness-expanding jams. Recorded at the Jazz Standard in New York during the Hammond B-3 organ great’s 75th birthday celebration, All In My Mind captures his working trio of guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg and drummer Johnathan Blake in high gear before a spirited, packed house. It’s another vibrant offering from the ageless doctor.
