He's from my hometown and he was underrated there also, but I saw many of his performances in the 70s and 80s and I have never seen anyone else play the way he did, he would lean so far back as if he was with you on a magic carpet ride through the cosmos!❤ his music!
Beautiful - can't believe I'm actually going to see the Great Lonnie Liston Smith in London this Saturday 2nd Feb !! What a fantastic birthday present...Thanks Caroline... and Ronnie Scott's ....
I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live in Houston, TX in I'll say 1985 after i moved from Baltimore,Md. He once attended school at Morgan State University in Baltimore. Mr L.L. Smith is from Richmond,VA. It rained that night he was going to do two shows. Maybe forty people at the most showed up. No one came for the second show. So he told those of us that came for the first show to stay put and he'd do another show with different music. What a blessing to get a twofer. Both shows were great!!!
You really have to be at peace with the creator, yourself,and the world in order to embrace this song,because it is so pure and wonderfully peaceful.🐑✌🌎🌚🇺🇸That' just my opinion. I love it💝
This was my first LP (I borrowed my sisters album!). I fell in love! I discovered the written art of expression, mostly through the songs without lyrics! A true inspiration! :D
Lonnie Liston Smith is a true American Icon. He has composed and recorded hundreds of tracks for numerous albums with a cosmic vibe that is uniquely his own. Rejuvenation is a collection of six songs that defined his conceptual thought and approach to a groove during the mid 80s Jazz era. It's the kind of compilation that defines improvisational space in a controlled setting with phenomenal musicians, powerfully executing at the top of their game!
summer nights is one of my favorites also, along with loveland and summer days. I discovered Lonnie Liston smith while riding along the FDR parkway , on a summer evening ,i was 19 years old and the world was in front of me,that's when I heard the most inspirational song ever"Summer Days,
Funny but, I play my alto sax right alone with this cut.. And,I don't doubt myself! I don't miss a beat.. In fact I take it to a whole nother level everytime... And,its on the money! I wish Lonnie was here.. smile. Bond St.Boo
Masterpiece !! This song will take you on a happy trip to paradise . Guitar at 5:45 is as melodic & hauntingly beautiful as your ears will ever ear . My brother & I listened to this song a 1,000 times . On par with Quincy Jones Whats Going On .
The improvisation of the entire group is timeless, but what is really driving the sound and quality of this piece is the bass line and bass playing of Cecil McBee. He's really holding the rhythm and bottom down. Wow.....
I can't get a response from you when I reply to your comments. My name is DJ. FOXXXY. I be asking you questions about certain music. You are a "WISE MAN"..…... Keep on giving us the truth about good music, NOT RUMORS. You know music like do. Thank you again Sir!❤️🧡💛🖤🎵🎶🎼💯✌️💋
@@jeshun7071 by the time you received this reply, I pray you and your loved ones are in good hands. With ALL this mess going on, it's sad!🇺🇸😷💔😢. I had a question some while back. I was using my government name Stephanie Mullen. I changed it to DJ.FOXXXY/DJ.FOXXXY. This You-tube page was my little sisters. She passed away last year. I can't make myself delete it. Now Mr.Eshun, is Lonnie Smith and Lonnie Liston Smith the same man???🤦🏾😆😂
One of the most peaceful songs i ever heard. My mind is at ease listening to this. I first got up on Lonnie Liston Smith listening to "Bridge Through Time" in 2005 and every since then i've been listening to his music. Very relaxing.
Truly a rendition that will transcend time. It sounds as fresh tonight as it did when I first bought the album. I've gone to sleep with it. I have awaken to it. What can I say!
I agree with your statement and you are absolutely right "what can I say" this is just unbelievable music. So mellow so smooth so everything. wonderful, just wonderful.
As a child my mother played mostly this artist and Roy Ayers, I grew to continue in her steps as I matured. I came to realize that true and honest music is already well seasoned and awaits our cathing up. I'm now 50 and still listen to this artist, Roy Ayers, and most of the 70s music.
THIS IS THE ONE THAT I HAD IN 1986. I USE TO LISTEN TO THIS ALL THE TIME. ONE DAY IN 1997, MY CAT GOT A HOLD OF IT AND DESTROYED IT (CASSETTE TAPE) NOW I HAVE TO GET THIS ON CD---BUT THEY DIDN'T MAKE THIS ALBUM ANY MORE FOR A LOT OF YEARS AND YOU COULDN'T FIND IT NO WHERE.
The exquisite beauty of Rejuvenation always overwhelms me with indescribable joy and uncontrollable tears welling in my eyes. It feels like a moment of being in unexpected grace. And I'm talkin' just about 40 years now of this phenomenon.
Apparently, I missed this: The Guitar. It's an Acoustic. They come with Amps for when they take the lead. I said that I wasn't going to talk too much tonight. I have got to get the name of the Guitar Player OK?
Lonnie liston Smith one the badest musicians I've ever listen to his music puts me in a different time and place wishing I could be on an island somewhere just listening to nothing but his music no one like him
