People, people, people.
I don't want to be pedantic here, but Lonnie Liston Smith and Lonnie Smith are
NOT the same person. Lonnie Liston Smith put out some pretty amazing stuff, but
Lonnie Smith's output is miles above the other Lonnie, and completely different
in style.
I know they're both soul-jazz organists and everything, but the concept really
isn't that hard to grasp.
Sorry, but being the world's biggest [Dr.] Lonnie Smith fan, I'm kind of
sensitive to the whole issue.
See ya,
