Purdue Convocations presents Dr. Lonnie Smith Trio
Friday, October 5 – 8:00 pm
Long Center, 111 North 6th St., Lafayette
Dr. Lonnie Smith is one of the most original voices on the Hammond B3 organ—the classic instrument heard throughout jazz, rock, and gospel music. He arrived on the scene in the 1950s during the heyday of the jazz organ trio format, in which the organ is joined by guitar and drums. Now, at 70, Smith remains an innovative and influential force in modern music, especially as he finds his deeply grooving, soul-laden riffs sampled and remixed by rap, house mix, acid jazz, and dance artists today.

Dr. Lonnie Smith Trio, Purdue Convocations
Friday, October 5 – 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Long Center, 111 N. Sixth St.
Simultaneously legendary and enigmatic, Dr. Lonnie Smith is one of the most original voices on the Hammond B3 organ--the classic instrument heard throughout jazz, rock, and gospel music. He arrived on the scene in the 1950s during the heyday of the jazz organ trio format, in which the organ is joined by guitar and drums. Now, at 70, Smith remains an innovative and influential force in modern music, especially as he finds his deeply grooving, soul-laden riffs sampled and remixed by rap, house mix, acid jazz, and dance artists today. No genre is safe from his own transformative touch, as Lonnie has reimagined the music of The Beatles, John Coltrane, Beck, and Eurythmics, and even released a tribute album to Jimi Hendrix. Stellar colleagues Jonathan Kreisberg and Jamire Williams seal the deal for a nonstop groove party. More Information
