Details Lead Performances: Jimi Hendrix and Lonnie Smith Trio; Genres: Instrumental, Jazz

On Foxy Lady: Tribute to Jimi Hendrix, two great '60s tastes that go great together: Turban-wearing Hammond organ-meister Smith leads his band through burning, extended soul meditations on four of the late guitarist's numbers. Though sometimes given to overlong, navel-gazing jams (especially when guitarist John Abercrombie steps forward), Smith and Co. nonetheless do a wonderful job of funkifying already inventive music. B+
