Lonnie Liston Smith - Words and Music

Gilles is joined by the godfather of jazz funk, Lonnie Liston Smith, whose music inspired a generation of musicians that followed.

Gilles is joined by the godfather of Jazz Funk, keyboard wizard and musical innovator, Lonnie Liston Smith, who's performed alongside greats such as Pharoah Sanders, John Coltrane and Sun Ra during a remarkable career spanning 6 decades. His techniques and genre-blending performances, released on the legendary Flying Dutchman Records in the 1970s, contributed to the emergence of a distinct Jazz-Funk movement within UK club culture. Plus, Gilles has brand new music from James Blake, Mount Kimbie and R&B trio King.
