Expansions
It is fully a jazz album, and a completely funky soul-jazz disc as well. Smith plays both piano and electric keyboards and keeps his compositions on the jazzy side: breezy, open, and full of groove.
Artist: Lonnie Liston Smith And The Cosmic Echoes
Genre: Jazz
Label: Ace
Release date:
Summery and loose in feel, airy and free with its in-the-cut beats and stellar piano fills, Expansions prefigures a number of the "smooth jazz" greats here, without the studio slickness and turgid lack of imagination. ... The music on Expansions is timeless soul-jazz, perfect in every era. Of all the fusion records of this type released in the mid-'70s, Expansions provided smoother jazzers and electronica's sampling wizards with more material that Smith could ever have anticipated".
