Recorded in May 1970, this smoldering set of funky soul jazz by the great organist Lonnie Smith went unreleased until 1995. Captured live at Club Mozambique in Detroit just 5 months after Smith recorded his excellent Blue Note album Drives, this live date featured a similar line-up with tenor saxophonist Dave Hubbard, baritone saxophonist Ronnie Cuber, and drummer Joe Dukes, with the notable difference being the presence of guitarist George Benson here.

This Blue Note 80 Vinyl Edition marks the first vinyl release of Alone Together. It was mastered by Kevin Gray and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
