Hammond B-3 boss Dr. Lonnie Smith ends up on yet another new label with
Too Damn Hot!, the follow-up to his thoroughly enjoyable -- if curious
-- Boogaloo to Beck outing from 2003. This studio set places the
organist in the company of two fine guitarists -- Peter Bernstein (lead)
and Rodney Jones (rhythm), and alternating drummers Greg Hutchinson and
Fukushi Tainaka. The two-guitar format is lovely in that it presents a
wide array of colors and harmonic textures to the proceedings. The
material is a compendium of new soul-jazz originals like the title
track, which is a sultry slow burner with killer chorded solos by Smith,
and "The Whip," a slippery funky hard bopper that recalls Johnny
Patton's sessions with Grant Green. There are two covers present here as
well, a fine version of Horace Silver's ballad "Silver Serenade" and a
whimsical read of "Someday My Prince Will Come." The album's final cut,
"Evil Turn," cooks like mad in stunning bop fashion. This is a keeper
and Smith's best record of the decade so far.

El jefe de Hammond B-3, el Dr. Lonnie Smith, termina en otra nueva
etiqueta con Too Damn Hot!, la continuación de su completamente
agradable - aunque curiosa - salida de Boogaloo a Beck del 2003. Este
set de estudio coloca al organista en compañía de dos buenos
guitarristas -- Peter Bernstein (líder) y Rodney Jones (ritmo), y los
bateristas alternativos Greg Hutchinson y Fukushi Tainaka. El formato de
dos guitarras es encantador porque presenta una amplia gama de colores y
texturas armónicas en los procedimientos. El material es un compendio
de nuevos originales de soul-jazz como el tema principal, que es un
sensual slow burner con solos de acordes asesinos de Smith, y "The
Whip", un resbaladizo y funky hard bopper que recuerda las sesiones de
Johnny Patton con Grant Green. También hay dos portadas presentes aquí,
una fina versión de la balada de Horace Silver "Silver Serenade" y una
caprichosa lectura de "Someday My Prince Will Come". El corte final del
álbum, "Evil Turn", se cocina como loco en una asombrosa moda bop. Este
es el mejor disco de Smith de la década hasta ahora.
