Myself and Yan went along to the Sela Bar in Leeds last thursday to see the legendary Dr Lonnie Smith.. he played as a trio with amazingly the equally legendary guitarist Melvin Sparks!! and a great tight drummer, whose name I dont have. If ths wasn't enough halfway through I noticed local soul queen Corrine Bailey Rae stood near us. She joined the band for a beautifully soulful rendition of 'Summertime'..
The New Mastersounds opened the night also. They were as usual wonderfully tight & funky . Theres a video on youtube of Lonnie Smith from the night we were there.WHAT A NIGHT!
The Sela Bar is a cool place to hear great Jazz etc..we will certainly be keeping an eye on future attractions.
