Celestial and warm jazz fusion just in time for the summer, this week’s album of focus is “Visions of a New World” by Lonnie Liston Smith and the Cosmic Echoes, released in 1975 under Flying Dutchman Records. Having worked under prolific jazz artists like Miles Davis, Gato Barbieri, and Art Blakey, Lonnie Liston Smith began focusing on his own work in the early 1970s (more key influences and partners mentioned in the show!). After forming the Cosmic Echoes with bass, sax, percussion, and more, Lonnie Liston Smith put out a few releases before adding on his brother Donald Smith to vocals a couple years later. With the brothers working together, the band created albums like today’s hit. A tail of its time, the record is focused on peace and love with no war, music and nature as healing forces, and the beauty of possibility. Personal favorites are “Colors of the Rainbow,” “Deevika (Goddess),” “Visions of New World (Phase 1)” and “Visions of a New World (Phase 2)”.
