Dr Lonnie Smith continues his second stint on Blue Note with a mainly live album; ‘Breathe’. There are two studio cuts both covers of well known tracks. ‘Why can’t we live together’ is a very nice version of the Timmy Thomas classic featuring the eerie vocals of Iggy Pop, and somegreat organ playing from Lonnie. His playing really comes alive on the live tracks. ‘Bright Eyes’ is the standout and has echoes of Charles Earland, a brassy organ groover. ‘Track 9’ is a down tempo funky cut, the more stripped down. ‘Epistrophy’ is also very funky. ‘Pilgrimage’ is a down tempo spiritual cut featuring Alicia Olatuja on vocals.
