Product description
Lonnie's 1975 jazz-funk masterpiece is released on 180g black vinyl in a nice thick card gatefold sleeve. Former Miles Davis and Pharoah Sanders keyboardist Lonnie Liston Smith saw all his musical ideas coming together for this, his third album. The title track is one of the best-known jazz funk classics; its influence on several generations of clubbers cannot be underestimated. It is a glorious amalgamation of jazz players and the tenor voice of Lonnie's brother Donald. However, the track's success has resulted in the album becoming rather overlooked and its other six pieces underappreciated. Desert Nights and Voodoo Woman give vent to Lonnie's improvisational skills over a modal base. Summer Days and My Love are based around Latin rhythms, with the latter proving another great vehicle for Donald Smith's voice. Donald is also the singer on an inspired take on Horace Silver's Peace . "One of dance music's most significant records..." Gilles Peterson.
Due to a house move I am reluctantly downsizing my large collection of vinyl LPs - mostly bought at the time of release and have had minimal play as I taped them back in the day and listened mainly on cassettes. I always tried to buy the earliest pressings and made sure all the extras, inserts, booklets, limited edition covers etc were included.
Stored upright in a dust and pet free environment they are now ready to move on to a new collection.
UK BUYERS - I can send up to 3 single LPs for the same shipping cost - £4.50 or up to 6 single LPs for £8.50 so if you're interested buying a few, please let me know when you make your first purchase so I can hold off packing and sending - to save you big on the shipping. International shipping discounts also available, please ask.
