Mightily hoisting the Blue Note organ torch, Foster gives thanks to the musical osmosis that was poured into him by all of the greats that preceded him. In the album’s liner notes, Ronnie makes sure to pay homage to one very important person in his life who passed away in 2021: “This album is dedicated to the memory of my brother, friend, Buffalo Homie and hero Dr. Lonnie Smith, who was one of the best in the world on the Hammond B3 organ.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50421208809803,"sku":"1156797","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50421211889995,"sku":"1156798","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/838d5297-b7c5-4b00-92f6-8f6f8b74b034_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726756310"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/ronnie-foster.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
