A cornerstone of spiritual jazz‑funk, Expansions remains one of Lonnie Liston Smith’s most influential works — a cosmic blend of electric keys, hypnotic grooves and uplifting vocal textures.

Reissued in 2013 by BGP Records as part of the Flying Dutchman Jazz Classics series, this remastered edition brings renewed clarity to a defining moment in the fusion of jazz, funk and soul‑conscious spirituality.
A must‑have for collectors of cosmic jazz, jazz‑funk and the Flying Dutchman catalogue.
