"I can take it anywhere it goes, right? I love to play inside, outside...but the organ swings best when it swings, doesn't it? That's what that organ is good for. You could try to play hip all you want, but when you swing that thing, there's no other feeling like it." - Doctor Lonnie Smith

Winner of a Grammy for "Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album", 52nd Street Themes, is Joe's tribute to the days when swing and bebop co-mingled freely. The five star Down Beat: review said: "...[Lovano's] most important and most fully realized recording to date....He plays here with a balance of imaginative abandon and technical control that has not been heard since John Coltrane..."

His international reputation as a player, composer, band leader and conceptualist has been further enhanced recently by the accolades he has received for the creative output of his touring and recording projects, namely his 4 Walls of Freedom (voted one of the top ten CDs of 2003 by DownBeat magazine), and his work in the U.S. and Japan with the Joe Locke / Geoffrey Keezer Group.
