Nestled somewhere between the soul jazz,
spiritual jazz, fusion, and post-bop subgenres,
1974's Cosmic Funk headed, as the title
indicates, in a funkier direction, with Lonnie
Liston Smith's brother Donald contributing
smooth vocal stylings to John Coltrane's
"Naima" among other tunes. A transitional
work but a fascinating one, with surehanded
production once again from Bob Thiele.
Features the original gatefold album art...
another "post-fusion" masterwork from the Lonnie Liston Smith and the
Cosmic Echoes, now pressed on coke clear vinyl limited to 600 copies!
