Artist: The Lightmen Plus One

Title: Fancy Pants

Label: Now-Again

Format: CD/LP

Revolutionary, spiritual jazz from the unlikely city of Houston, Texas, reissued for the first time.

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 hisLightmen band and, like the deep-set, maverick jazz issued by the likes of Tribe andStrata East, is amongst the best of the 1970s jazz underground, a collective voice of resistance to the musical and cultural status quo.

Presented in both stereo and mono mixes. Extensive booklet, download card for WAV files and footage of live performances included.
