Visions of a New World
Lonnie Liston Smith
Jazz-Funk / Spiritual JazzLonnie Liston Smith was coming out of the Pharoah Sanders and Miles Davis orbits when he made this, and that spiritual, expansive energy is all over it. The electric piano is the center of gravity — Rhodes and Fender Rhodes runs that just pull everything toward the groove. 'Expansions' is the track most people know, but the whole album holds that feeling. Beautiful, unhurried record.
