Cosmic Funk

Description

Nestled somewhere between the soul jazz, spiritual jazz, fusion, and post-bop subgenres, 1974s Cosmic Funk headed, as the title indicates, in a funkier direction, with Lonnie Liston Smiths brother Donald contributing smooth vocal stylings to John Coltranes Naima among other tunes. A transitional work but a fascinating one, with surehanded production once again from Bob Thiele. Features the original gatefold album artanother post-fusion masterwork from the Lonnie Liston Smith and the Cosmic Echoes!
