Aahh, the sweet, sweet keyboard of Lonnie Liston Smith! This recording shows clearly that, even in the late 70s, he had lost none of his remarkable powers!
Recorded live at Smucker's Cabaret in Brooklyn, NY, in 1977, this superb LP is the only live album that Lonnie Liston Smith provided in the 1970s. It's also one of the most essential and improvisatory recordings he ever came out with. Smith and his band, the Cosmic Echoes, don't hesitate to let loose during this performance, which finds them bringing a very adventurous spirit to gems like "Watercolors" and "Sorcercess." Vocalist Donald Smith is in excellent form on "Expansions," "Visions of a New World," and "My Love," and there are many inspired solos by keyboardist/pianist Smith as well as saxman Dave Hubbard and guitarist Ronald Dean Miller. Though the Cosmic Echoes maintain their ethereal qualities, their playing definitely has a tougher edge on stage. - Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

Man, got to thank you a million... my vinil copy of the old LP is so screwed.... and this is really a good copy, no scratches and pops... sounding real good... I always loved Lonnie's records... did you have his works at the Columbia label? Well, for now I'm really grateful for this fantastic performance. Cheers.

I must to say the cheese drives me crazy, I approach every time for eat cheese and I add in my recipes all the time. I read some days ago the cheese have many properties and vitamin. The most important thing is the potassium and calcium the cheese contain. I am sure that When i buying my house through costa rica homes for sale i will prepare a dinner for all my friends and I will add many cheese. That will be wonderful.
OMG, I have this LP on vinyl, I haven't listened to this fantastic music in twenty years. THANK YOU!!!
