Our Take

Lonnie Liston Smith's latest live album is a psychedelic journey through space and time, complete with funky rhythms and cosmic vibes. From the moment the first note hits, you'll be transported to a groovy dimension where the music never stops and the dancing never ends.

Smith's keyboard skills are on full display here, with each note shimmering like a shooting star in the night sky. His bandmates provide the perfect backdrop, creating a lush soundscape that envelops you like a warm hug from a funky alien.

One standout track is the epic "Expansions," which stretches out like a never-ending cosmic highway, with Smith's keys leading the way. The audience's cheers and applause only add to the electric atmosphere, making you feel like you're right there in the front row, grooving along with the rest of the crowd.

But it's not all cosmic jams and funky grooves - Smith also shows off his sensitive side with a heartfelt rendition of "Naima," a beautiful tribute to the late, great John Coltrane. The emotion in Smith's playing is palpable, bringing tears to even the most stoic of faces.

Overall, Lonnie Liston Smith's Live! album is a must-listen for any fan of jazz, funk, or just good music in general. So grab your dancing shoes, open your mind, and let Lonnie Liston Smith take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.

Lonnie Liston Smith

LONNIE LISTON SMITH may not be a household name, but in the world of jazz-funk fusion, he's a giant among men. With a career spanning over five decades, this keyboardist extraordinaire has consistently pushed the boundaries of what it means to be a jazz musician.

Smith's music has a timeless quality to it, with lush, ethereal melodies and intricate rhythms that draw listeners in and never let go. His use of electronic keyboards and synthesizers was groundbreaking for the genre, and his collaborations with artists like Pharoah Sanders and Donald Byrd only further solidified his status as a true innovator in the world of music. But don't let his serious musical chops fool you - Lonnie Liston Smith is also known for his laid-back, easygoing vibe. With his signature floppy hat and infectious smile, he's a true original in an industry that often favors conformity over creativity.
