Under the direction of the wizard of the Hammond B3, this exceptional aggregation draws on a deep pool of jazz talent, combining veteran players like Chris Potter with such spirited up–and–comers as saxophonist Alexa Tarantino. “Dr. Lonnie Smith can play fast and fierce yet is often most affecting in the quietest moments, deep in a ballad or winding down from a climactic chorus. He can seem like a preacher possessed or a meditative monk—or both—within the same song...‘I hear everything in that organ,’ he said. ‘It's got the sun and the moon, the earth and the water. That's how it feels to me.’" (Larry Blumenthal, The Wall Street Journal, 7.18.2012)
