Originally recorded in 1970, Free As You Wanna Be is a landmark release from Houston's Bubbha Thomas & The Lightmen Plus One — a testament to the vibrant and adventurous spirit of early 1970s free jazz and funk. The album blends free jazz experimentation with soulful grooves, representing a unique slice of American music history that was largely under the radar upon its initial release.
Now reissued on the Vampi Soul label, Free As You Wanna Be gives listeners a fresh opportunity to experience this one-of-a-kind fusion of jazz, soul, and funk. The album's raw energy and creative ambition make it a compelling listen for fans of boundary-pushing music from the era, and a worthy addition to any serious jazz or soul collection.
