Date of release: Feb 06 2026
After keyboardist/composer Bayet
a.k.a. Todd Cochran established
his musical presence on the San
Francisco scene playing in Bobby
Hutcherson's band, and before
becoming a key member of the
innovative band Automatic Man,
which he co-founded with Santana
drummer Michael Shrieve, he
recorded a couple of solo albums for
the Prestige label that feature some
of the most far-out, futuristic music
the legendary jazz imprint ever
released. The first, Worlds Around the Sun, created
quite a critical stir and debuted his composition "Free Angela," which was later recorded again
by Santana and sampled widely by artists like Kendrick Lamar, De La Soul, and Jay Electronica.
But it was this album, 1973's Seeking Other Beauty, that represented the full flowering of
his vision. As Bayet says in the notes by Pat Thomas that accompany our Real Gone reissue,
"While I've held space for the blues aesthetic and jazz in everything I've done, I was leaving
one world and entering another, unmooring the ship and heading into a sea of unknowns, so to
speak." That ship ended up at a dazzling destination reached by few; early '70s electric Miles is
a clear point on the compass, but so are Parliament-Funkadelic and Lonnie Liston Smith, if he
were playing a fuzzed-out clavinet instead of a Fender Rhodes. Bayet went on to collaborate
with everybody from Peter Gabriel to Herbie Hancock to Stanley Clarke, but Seeking Other
Beauty delivers the full measure of the man. This is a first-ever reissue, featuring an all-analog
pressing in either black vinyl or "plasma" vinyl, accompanied by an added insert. In its attitude,
emotion, and performance, this recording captures an urgency that people are feeling again
today. If you're a fan of music that features a mosaic of influences - spiritual jazz with a fluid
futuristic slant, akin to some of the Black Jazz label titles we reissued on Real Gone - this
record is for you.
