Eastern Sounds - Yusef Lateef - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Yusef Lateef (1920-2013) was one of the first Afro-American
jazz musicians to embrace the Islamic faith. Although his main
instruments were the tenor saxophone and the flute, he was known
for his innovative blending of jazz with Asian music. His “Eastern”’
influences are clearly audible on Eastern Sounds (Moodsville MVST-
22), which is presented here in its entirety along with all of his other
quartet recordings with iconic pianist Barry Harris. Among them are
two tracks, “Cookin’” and “Marching Piper Blues”, which were only
issued on a hard to find single and appear here for the first time ever
on CD. A rare studio reading of “Brother John”, one of Lateef’s best
known compositions, has been added as a further bonus.
