Dr.Lonnie Smith: Live at Club Mozambique

[CJ Shearn]

I just bought this last week and am listening to this nasty chunk o funk right now. Not sure whether to put this in the discography forum or what but since theres this new Hammond forum why not? Was "I Can't Stand It" intended to be a single? because the track fades at the end and the others don't. Did they run out of tape?

I don't know for sure, but a lot of funky stuff like this was edited/faded to make a single. In 1970, the jukebox with some souljazz was still around.

It wasn't meant to be a single, because this was never released until the mid 90's. Great, great, great recording though. I wish it didn't fade, but maybe the ending was sloppy.

yes, yes, yes, Soulstream, it is a great album Actually I stumped a drummer friend of mine with "Expressions", he thought the drummer was Art Blakey lol.

Yes this is such a great performance. Benson just sounds so involved in the music on this one. Sometimes I feel he is at a bit of a distance from being truly inside the music on some of his other Blue Note appearances. Not on this one though. sounds like he's really gettin down with his buddies here.

What a band!
