Carlos Garnett - Cosmos Nucleus - LP
$39.99
1976 Muse Records Title Reissued on Vinyl LP!
Raw & Visionary Afrofuturist Jazz!
Released at the height of his cosmic creative powers, Cosmos Nucleus finds Panamanian saxophonist Carlos Garnett expanding his bold vision of jazz as liberation, healing, and outer-space expression. A potent mixture of modal vamps, psychedelic textures, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and transcendental vocals, the album bridges the earthly and the astral with a blend of conviction and groove. This is Afrofuturist jazz at its raw and visionary best.
