Lonnie Liston Smith regards ôCosmic Funkö, his second album as a leader, as a transitional release: ôBefore recording this album, I was still playing with Miles Davis. You can hear some Miles influence. On the following album, ôExpansionsö, I really discovered the Lonnie Liston Smith ôcosmicö sound.öBy this point, Lonnie was a respected sideman, having also played with Art Blakey, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Pharoah Sanders and Gato Barbieri. æSais (Egypt)Æ, the track which sounds most like his work with Sanders, is an extended number written by James Mtume, who had played percussion in Miles DavisÆ group. LonnieÆs brother Donald sings on four of the tracks, including the title number, which is similar to the sound Davis achieved on ôOn The Cornerö. 180 GM Black vinyl pressing
