| Description: | Drummer, bandleader and activist Bubbha Thomas had toured America with R&B revues,
served as a session musician for Peacock and Back Beat Records, and played straight
ahead jazz with legends before the political and social upheaval of the late 1960s led him
to a path first charted by Coltrane.
Fancy Pants is his second LP with his Lightmen band and, like the deep-set, maverick
jazz issued by the likes of Tribe and Strata East, is amongst the best of the 1970s jazz
underground, a collective voice of resistance to the musical and cultural status quo. - 2LP contains stereo and previously unreleased mono mixes and extended takes
contains 20 page booklet with unpublished photos and an extensive essay
video for numerous early 70s live performances and WAV files included on download card
Lacquered [...] at Electric Mastering, London, UK. |
