Lonnie Smith - Live At Club Mozambique (2 LP)
Live At Club Mozambique captures legendary organist Lonnie Smith and his all-star band in peak form, recorded live in Detroit in 1970. With electrifying interplay and groove-driven funk, this set exemplifies why Dr. Lonnie Smith is revered as a master of the Hammond organ. The ensemble’s energy is palpable, highlighted by the dynamic presence of guitar virtuoso George Benson and a brass section that delivers both punch and soul.
This Blue Note classic remained unreleased for 25 years, making its eventual appearance a cause for celebration among jazz aficionados. The album’s mix of tight rhythms, deep baritone sax lines, and spacious live sound creates an irresistibly funky atmosphere that stands as a testament to the vibrancy of 1970s Detroit jazz. For listeners seeking an authentic, soulful experience, Live At Club Mozambique is a true gem within Lonnie Smith’s storied catalog.
