Description by OLDIES.com:

When keyboardist Lonnie Liston Smith began his career, he owed a great stylistic debt to jazz great McCoy Tyner. But Smith changed direction, eventually gaining fame in the '70s by merging fusion, soul and funk into his playing. The two albums included in this single disc were first released in the '80s on the Doctor Jazz label; highlights include "Warm," "City of Lights," and "A Lonely Way To Be."

Tracks:

1.A Lonely Way To Be
2.Mystic Woman
3.The Love I See In Your Eyes
4.Dreams Of Tomorrow
5.Never Too Late
6.Rainbows Of Love
7.Divine Light
8.A Garden Of Peace
9.Warm
10.If You Take Care Of Me
11.Silhouettes
12.Summer Afternoon
13.Enlightenment
14.City Of Lights
15.Once Again Love

In 2001, Collectables reissued two later works by jazz pianist Lonnie Liston Smith. Dreams of Tomorrow (originally issued on Columbia in 1983) definitely shows him heading toward smooth jazz/quiet storm territory, complete with the warbled croonings of Donald Smith. Silhouettes (1984) sees a further move in that direction, with a bit more R&B influence thrown in for good measure. ~ Rob Theakston
