Description
Revolutionary, spiritual jazz from the unlikely city of Houston, Texas, reissued for the first time, presented in both stereo and mono mixes, as a double LP with extensive booklet, download card for WAV files and footage of live performances included.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.
