One of the most exciting and mystic recording I've ever heard! Great bass line, wide and thick background of drums, percussions with Lonnie's colorful, echo-fender and Traneish playing of George Barron. Enjoy.

One of the best "acid jazz" pieces of all time.

On a rainy Saturday, I realize above the gray clouds is blue, deeper and deeper blue, meeting the infinity of the cosmos. Worlds beyond worlds.

Imagine a summer listening to Lonnie, Pharoah, Miles(On the Corner) Funkadelic(Westbound Years) Richard Davis, Ronnie Foster etc. This is what I was into when I first start diggin'. Gave me a very eclectic outlook on the sound of music. Cosmic Funk was and still is one of my favorites today...

The Combination of that Bass Line along with the Jazz Fusion Drums and various Percussion Tracks with the Acoustic Piano Holding down the Riff and The Fender Rhodes Gliding Repeating and Sliding all through The Cosmos laying a Bed for the Beautiful Soprano Sax to Soar with Enchanting Melodies is Just an Exilarating Experience for Your Soul to Travel through an Infinite Space of Love and Enlightenment!!!

I was at the pyramids in Egypt at the millennium. Jean Michel Jarre was playing,now can you imagine if someone got Lonnie Liston Smith to play instead.

@kristawinegrdner3816 4 жыл бұрын

Yes! No offense whatsoever to Jean Michel Jarre,but having Lonnie Liston Smith play that gig instead would have been a million times more appropriate and a billion times deeper!

Let's stick to the subject. Lonnie Liston Smith wrote this song his soul traveled to Egypt he didn't have to be there to write this also the soprano Sax made this song work.It reminds you of snake charmers and other things you see in the Eutopia Eygpt society.

After his tenure with Pharoah, Lonnie took some of the core members, his borther Donald and took his music in a offshoot direction from the same root or fruit. A James Mtume masterpiece from the Heath Jazz royalty family. Love Sais.

23 years around the sun they say but I tell ya I been round for a lil while longer then 23 this music takes over and I’m no longer just that 23 year old boy exiled on his land but I realize it’s much deeper then that it’s really in the soul it’s all eternal bless you all much progress and radiance in your future ✨🙏

This recording is from Lonnie's 2nd LP 1974. Astral Traveling was his 1st. A Era that left so many great masterpieces. Too bad Lonnie never got his real due respect. His name should be famous. His music has always touched my spirit.

Yul B. Moore A lot of people confused him with the organist ( Dr. Lonnie Smith ) which really made it hard for him to be identified for who he truly was.

I strongly suggest to purchase a turntable that converts vinyl to CD format; LLS was/is one of the all-time greatest composer/writer/musician ever. How about requesting some of this music from your local jazz stations!!! See if the young DJs know what is straight hip!!

@mooreyb That's 100% true. He was a real innovator in jazz music and o pioneer of this nuJazz-like, soft, magical rhythms. Besides his LP's, he recorded in lat '60 and early '70 with Pharoah Sanders, Gato Barbieri and Miles Davis. And this recording is a Temple - I always shivers beacause of this sax.
