In fact, among the many distinguished alumni of Miles Davis fusion bands, keyboardist Smith and his cohorts arguably ran with Davis stylistic breakthrough the farthest. In five albums stretching over four years, Smith and the Cosmic Echoes stretched the fusion aesthetic to embrace post-bop modal and spiritual jazz, funk, rock, pop, and even the smooth jazz, quiet storm, and crossover genres. And if those latter styles raise your traditionalist hackles, Smith imbued all of his records with integrity, vision, and his unique spacy sensibiity; instead of playing it safe or commercial, he fearlessly paved a path for modern jazz musicians to follow (Kamasi Washington, for one, no doubt listened to these records at length). Nestled somewhere between the soul jazz, spiritual jazz, fusion, and post-bop subgenres, Lonnie's second Flying Dutchman album, 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 art\u0026amp;another post-fusion masterwork from the Lonnie Liston Smith and the Cosmic Echoes! Coke clear vinyl pressing limited to 600 copies.\n\nA1.
