This one sent in directly from Moog. You are seeing it here on MATRIXSYNTH first folks. You might remember him from this previous post.
"Legendary jazz organist Dr. Lonnie Smith, stopped by Moog's booth at NAMM 2013 to try out the Sub Phatty.

via Wikipedia:
"He was born in in Lackawanna, New York,[1] into a family with a vocal group and radio program. Smith says that his mother was a major influence on him musically, as she introduced him to gospel, classical, and jazz music. He was part of several vocal ensembles in the 1950s, including the Teen Kings. Art Kubera, the owner of a local music store, gave Smith his first organ, a Hammond B3... He was named the "Organ Keyboardist of the Year" in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, and 2009 by the Jazz Journalist Association."
He helped form the George Benson Quartet and followed with a solo career releasing his first album "Finger Lickin' Good". I'd say that pretty much sums up his playing above.
The vid is now set to private, which is too bad as the guy can play.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Moog will unlock it again. It went dead as I was watching it just now, worked fine this afternoon.
Hah! That's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteComplete gibberish, musically, but he's having so much fun.
Awesome.
