Lonnie Liston Smith – Silhouettes

Flip this one over if you’re in the mood for a soulful blend of smooth jazz and mellow funk that’s both relaxing and deeply immersive. Lonnie Liston Smith, a master of atmospheric soundscapes, wraps you in warm, shimmering textures that feel like a sunset breeze. The album’s title track, *Silhouettes*, is a standout—its laid-back groove and dreamy vibe perfectly capture that delicate balance between introspection and groove. Released in 1984, this record is a subtle gem from a key figure who helped shape the cosmic jazz and spiritual funk movements. If you want something that sounds timeless yet distinctly ’80s, this is a sweet pick.
