      Wow! The tune I remember the most was Enchantress. And the reason was that it was what got airplay on WNSB back when that radio station played jazz. That was you? Awesome! You were definitely punchin it up on that bass! I'll definitely make sure to check out the rest of the album

    Wow! Wonderful interview with Lonnie Liston Smith. Goosebumps when he hit House of the Lord at 35:50. He leaves the material world when he plays.

    1st time I've ever heard the Jazz king , Legend Mr. Lonnie Liston Smith talk other than on an album! I thought he would be a little softer and cooler ! (Just my perception) ! Much ❤ To You Mr. Smith ! My Hat's Off To You ! Your musical gift has definitely enhanced and brought Joy to many lives ! I've followed you since the "70's ! Thank You for adding beauty to the journey. 🎉 ❤

    I loved this interview. Lonnie Liston Smith, after all these years, is still one of my favorite jazz musicians. I play his music often. One of my favorites is the song Starlight and You.

    Great interview...respect to Lonnie a Giant of Jazz Fusion and loved here in the UK. I am really hoping someone can interview his brother Donald Smith who has one of the greatest male voices in muzik as far as i'm concerned and transforms and adds to his brother's tracks in outstanding fashion.

    Great interview. I love all of his albums, especially Expansions and Visions of a New World.

    • @MarkPitch-le5hw
      @MarkPitch-le5hw ปีที่แล้ว

      Own them both
      Found Visions for 25 cents years ago whilst digging through a crate in a pawn shop. Had never heard of Lonnie prior to that, shamefully..
      Saw the cover, read a few credits in the back, read fender rhodes and thought this has to be good..
      To this day Visions stands as a top 5 album amidst thousands of records owned.
      So unique..
      Share your sentiments on both albums, but Visions will stand on its own 100 years from now
      Undervalued and promoted artist
      I was shocked I stumbled across him by sheer accident

    Thank you for this. Lonnie Listen Smith is one of my jazz hero's. He's an unique sounding
    Musician, particularly from that 70s period. An honest, interesting, engaging and educational Interview from Mr Smith.

    Had to comment twice. At like the 25 mark when he starts playing his new spin on garden of peace was incredible. So dope how hip hop samples exposed a lot of the younger generation to his music, me included, and due to the hip hop samples he was inspired to "remix" his own work. I loved that as a hip hop head but more so as a fan of music in general.

    LONNIE !!! ETERNAL SOUL with the most impeccable notes. really good video. its so nice to be able to see the legend talk about the jazz scene and the reaction to the crate diggers and samples. it is crazy to have that eternal music speaking to the masses. Richmond is so underrated with all the talents coming out of that city

      The Foundation No thank you! The ‘hip hop influenced’ rendition of garden of peace he plays half way through is really incredible. Lonnie is such an important musician, from the spiritual stuff to the influence he had on modern music. great to hear him talk in such depth.

    The silohette Album by Liston has caused me to be able to run 12 miles at 52..
    Listen there is a lot of Inner G in most of the songs.
    Especially Silohettes and summer afternoon and city lights.
    Breathe exercises... super exotic
