Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echoes – Cosmic Funk (Vinyl)
Lonnie Liston Smith views Cosmic Funk, his 1974 LP, as a transitional work, capturing him between his pioneering work with Miles Davis' electric group and the exploratory Expansions.
Much of the record showcases the smooth vocal stylings of Smith's brother Donald, who leads on a vocal version of John Coltrane's "Naima," lends a bit of a supper club vibe to "Beautiful Woman," croons through "Peaceful Ones," and dives into the thick, overlapping grooves of the title track. That opening song is one of the few tracks that emphasizes funk, otherwise the cosmic reigns.
The album is distinguished by the spaces that lie between funk and bop, the periods where Smith and company start to float, then pull themselves back.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
