Drummer, bandleader and activist Bubbha Thomas had toured America with R&B revues,

served as a session musician for Peacock and Back Beat Records, and played straight

ahead jazz with legends before the political and social upheaval of the late 1960s led him

to a path first charted by Coltrane.

Fancy Pants is his second LP with his Lightmen band and, like the deep-set, maverick

jazz issued by the likes of Tribe and Strata East, is amongst the best of the 1970s jazz

underground, a collective voice of resistance to the musical and cultural status quo.
