Lonnie Liston Smith 'Expansions / Visions Of A New World'

$11.99

Grooving, slick soul jazz furrowing deep into the prevailing laid-back fusion spirit of the 1970s a-la Donald Byrd, Bobbi Humphrey and the Mizell Brothers. Both songs pried from Lonnie’s Cosmic Echoes’ 1975 staple Visions Of A New World, with the swirling rhythmic array of the eponymous title track giving way to the divine celestial vesper on the flip. Pharoah and Leon Thomas have taught them too well; the spirits liberated and flowing from channels of consciousness that only Penrose seems to have inspected within the western empirical approach.
