Lonnie Liston Smith, Jr. is an American soul, jazz, and funk musician who played with important free jazz artists such as Miles Davis and Pharoah Sanders before forming Lonnie Liston Smith And The Cosmic Echoes, recording a number of albums widely regarded as classics in the fusion, quiet storm and acid jazz genres. One of his biggest hits was the 1974 danceable classic 'Expansions' , which was later sampled by Stetsasonic for the hip hop classic ' Talkin' All Thay Jazz' ...it was also re-made in 1986 as an early house music classic Chris Paul - Expansions on 4th & Broadway Records. But its the Lonnie Liston Smith original that still stands tall.
