Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echoes/ Expansions (JAPAN PRESS 1976)

One of keyboardist Lonnie Liston Smith’s signature works. Led by the timeless floor-killer “Expansions,” the album also features the beautiful deep jazz cut “Desert Nights,” the tight-grooving “Voodoo Woman,” and the mellow, funky “Shadows.” With contributions from Donald Smith and Cecil McBee, every track shines.
