Dr. Lonnie Smith & David 'Fathead' Newman • Boogaloo to Beck



Review by Scott Yanow
On this unusual set, organist Dr. Lonnie Smith, with guitarist Doug Munro, and (on five of the 11 selections) tenor-saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman do the improbable. On Boogaloo to Beck: A Tribute, Smith takes a full set of songs by rock performer Beck and turns them into funky soul-jazz. In fact, the results often sound like a late-1960s Blue Note album. The individual selections are not all that memorable or inspiring (it is doubtful that any of these Beck tunes will catch on in jazz), but Smith and his bandmates play quite well and deserve credit for trying to come up with fresh material for their grooves.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
En este inusual conjunto, el organista Dr. Lonnie Smith, con el guitarrista Doug Munro, y (en cinco de las 11 selecciones) el tenor-saxofonista David "Fathead" Newman hacen lo improbable. En Boogaloo to Beck: A Tribute, Smith toma un conjunto completo de canciones del intérprete de rock Beck y las convierte en funky soul-jazz. De hecho, los resultados a menudo suenan como un álbum de Blue Note de finales de los 60. Las selecciones individuales no son tan memorables o inspiradoras (es dudoso que alguna de estas melodías de Beck se pongan de moda en el jazz), pero Smith y sus compañeros de banda tocan bastante bien y merecen el crédito por tratar de encontrar material fresco para sus surcos.
