JJF2017 The BNI Java Jazz Festival, Dr Lonnie Smith Trio, By Peter Gontha

[@Wally-H]

RIP Dr Lonnie. We'll miss you terribly.

[@tunaficiency]

One of my all time favourite bands RIP Lonnie

[@konglomeratt]

I watch this video often. When I hear My Favorite Things I'm crying

[@EliBleu]

You can't jam with the Doc without being from another planet!!! This is just out of this world.. And Kreisberg really adds a beauty to this trio

[@Wally-H]

Funkiest drummer Lonnie played with as well IMO. When I went to see him in London he had Xavier Breaker who was also excellent but this guy really cooks.

[@herculesrockefeller8969]

Just when you think there might be an end to Kreisberg's talent, he continues to amaze. Thanks for uploading this!

[@konglomeratt]

This the best that i'm watched and listened!!!

[@SingKrimson]

RIP.......

[@travelingman9763]

Versatile setlist of originals. Lonnie always remembers his roots musically and then will go into the future possibilities musically..his way. That's what the music should be about and not caring if popular or not! Lonnie has nothing to prove andhe knows that. Great gig Lonnie. MM We did 17 days in Spain bro with Lou!

[@tomdorsa3885]

I love the way they worked 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover and Beehive into this so effortlessly. Kreisberg is a god.

[@lightspeed417]

Best show! RIP Doc.

[@martinsprenz2872]

Jonathan is a master on the guitar. He plays with the right kind of undestatement letting his partners on stage shine like fucking stars.

[@tomdorsa3885]

Thank you for uploading this. The first time I listened to the intro it gave me goosebumps. Just absolutely soul-cutting.

[@pablolabastida4487]

Backtrack!

[@janodragon6764]

nombre de los musicos, por favor

[@maricelgarnica4388]

Jonathan Kreisberg - guitar Johnathan Blake - drums

[@Nano_Psycho]

whats the name of the song at 7:00?

[@Mavomatic]

I believe it's just a variation on top of their song Backtrack. Might be influenced by another song but none that I would recognize.

[@Nano_Psycho]

@@Mavomatic thx!

[@peterj.andros3996]

"Dr." Lonnie Smith can stop screwing around with his music and get to playing his ax. His cute improvisation here and on other recorded music is a DISTRACTION.

[@timtremblay8601]

What's he got his "doctorate" in Stoneology? Lol~! No bs the man is tremendous B3 jump up SCREAM~! Doo~!!!!!!

[@Wally-H]

I do partly agree with this. Pretty much every time Lonnie played a set he fiddled around with that intro to Backtrack. He seemed to really enjoy experimenting with synths and drum machines in later years and it wasn't always brilliant. The synth he's playing over the first part of Jonathan's solo is as you say, distracting. Fortunately he seemed to realise this and stopped doing it after a few bars. I don't think Lonnie ever knew exactly how he was going to start that tune - he made it up as he went along! That was the eccentricity of the man. Much of what he created was inspired so I guess you have to take the rough with the smooth.
