Drives { vinyl }

Lonnie Smith’s 1970 album Drives was a showcase of the organist’s sense of adventure and indomitable groove. With Dave Hubbard on tenor sax, Ronnie Cuber on bari sax, Larry McGee on guitar & Joe Dukes on drums, Smith delivers funky takes on hits “Twenty-Five Miles” and “Spinning Wheel,” plus a fleet version of Miles Davis’ “Seven Steps to Heaven.” 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.
