Album Notes Believe it or not, this ultra-obscure 35-minute shot of heady psychedelic jazz-funk came from the mind and soul of Bill Cosby. Yes, that Bill Cosby. A crate-digger's delight, the album was originally released in 1971 and was reissued in 2008 by the Dusty Groove label. Featuring two extended tracks ("Martin's Funeral" and "Hybish Shybish") the album does a remarkable job of bringing to musical life the tense, tumultuous, but ultimately invigorating era in which it was recorded. Cosby is no slouch on the keys; and though he is galaxies away from the man, the comedian's bursts of electric piano at times recall Sun Ra. An oddity given its association with Cosby, the album remains an excellent slab of heavy, spaced-out jazz funk and will be of interest to any fan of the style.
