A pair of filmmakers want to tell the story of Dr. Lonnie Smith and his journey from a childhood doo-wop singer to a Hammond B3 devotee to an NEA Jazz Master.
Emmy-winning Toronto producer Ed Barreveld is calling on jazz fans to help produce a “rough cut” of a documentary about the iconic organist so that it can be shown to potential purchasers and licensees.
Directed by first-time filmmaker Howard Goldstein,
Dr. B3: The Soul of the Music will trace Smith’s life story using archival and contemporary concert footage and interviews with collaborators and fans such as George Benson, Lou Donaldson, Joe Lovano, Joey DeFrancesco, Rudy Van Gelder, Don Was, Paul Shaffer, Iggy Pop and Akiko Tsuruga.
