Lonnie Smith - Think!

A Saturday night bonus with some more soul/organ jazz. This time being a Blue Note offering of Lonnie Smith but with Lee Morgan adding additional fire. The additional percussion section is sweet as hell. This terribly hip lp comes from 1968. It is once again a vinyl rescue saved from a box of junk in a relatively cool antiques store. I am happy it was somehow overlooked. The cover of Aretha's Think works surprisingly well. And Slouchin' just rolls along as it should.
