Lonnie Smith - Turning Point - Blue Note Classic LP

All-Analog 180g Vinyl, Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series

One of the funkiest and most creative organists of all time, Dr. Lonnie Smith returned to Van Gelder Studio in January 1969 to record Turning Point with a dynamic six-piece band featuring Lee Morgan on trumpet, Julian Priester on trombone, and Bennie Maupin on tenor saxophone. The set ranges from a hard-grooving take on Don Covay's "See Saw" to an inventive, soul-soaked reworking of The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby." This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
