The CATS.

[@Ewerb7]

Wonderful lineup of jazz greats.

[@sound-ur1bq]

the great Wilbur Bascomb, this guy also plays on Jeff beck Albums like Wired i think, i did recognized its sound

[@loganwhite819]

Wilbur Bascomb is one of the most underrated Bassist and he deserved/deserves more attention

[@DurielMoore]

Jon Faddis,uncle to Madlib.

WORD UP

[@Neptunade]

ORLY??

[@christophersantana5895]

TRUE INDEED.

[@geeknsneaks]

Enough to pack ‘em in a briefcase for a pilot

[@RaiderEleven]

A great studio orchestra created by legendary producer Bob Thiele on his own Flying Dutchman label. This song is "Shadows" by Lonnie Liston Smith who is on keyboards, the bass line is by Wilbur Bascomb, Jr., and the tenor sax solo is by either Steve Marcus or Bob Mintzer. Great performance with soaring strings.

[@gottohavesoul]

+RaiderEleven It's Steve Marcus.

[@rbsprods3200]

What an amazing performance with Bascomb's electric bass line booting things along, and yes, it is Steve Marcus who plays the powerful tenor sax solo, soaring above the strings and Smith's filigrees and solo.

[@teamclarktrackfield]

@ Raider….you know your music. Much respect….

[@peaceforchildren4303]

hey,, thanks!

[@gabriel_kyne]

when i realize that this isnt on Spotify or Apple Music, i wonder how much other amazing music is lost to streaming services

[@swingingelephant3415]

this is why you should just download music off youtube instead

[@jwizdum2103]

There’s literally billions of songs that aren’t on streaming, RUclips and raw crate digging/CD’s are the best ways to find stuff like this, especially from the 70’s

[@Beenyad]

Not sure why but I trust that man on the cover with my life.

[@toprak3479]

He's giving somewhat out of touch but kindhearted dad energy

[@michiepooh]

I came across this via a link on twitter! Imagine that! Until yesterday, I didn't know this song existed and now I play it every chance I can! I love it so!

[@moyvilla9]

Insane what Premo can do.

Thank you for uploading this. Brings back a ton of happy memories.

[@jerrylev59]

I still have this on vinyl, a great Bob Thiele production!

[@RaiderEleven]

Bob Thiele's "Mysterious Flying Orchestra" plays Lonnie Liston Smith's "Shadows" with a killer band that included Smith's keyboards; Steve Marcus' tenor sax solo, as well as Jon Faddis, Lew Soloff on brass; Charlie Mariano, Eddie Daniels, Bob MIntzer: reeds; Gene Bertoncini & Jerry Friedman guitar; Wilbur "Bad" Bascomb's bass; and Andy Newmark on drums with Guillhermo Franco's percussion. Thanks to Freakguitarman for this rare beautiful treat.

[@phylliscouch3813]

Wow!! Love it! Thanks for sharing,Lord Funkelstein!

[@beatsbytheory]

You damn right it's rare! They don't make jazz like this anymore..I'm only 33 and know what's up. Thank you for posting :-)

[@noel_neuenkirk]

Found a nice clean copy of this LP, MUST HAVE!

[@e.l.norris2000]

I haven't heard this in far too long, Thank you.

[@TheStudeo74]

This RARE 1977 LP features Larry Coryell, Lonnie Liston Smith, Jon Faddis and MANY others.

[@amunrayayinstitute7946]

I love how the saxophone player wistle/breathing techniques on the solos he did it on the Space Lady solo as well.
