Yusef Lateef - Lateef At Cranbrook Vinyl LP

Reissue, originally released in 1958. Ceaseless seeker Yusef Lateef continually sought to push the boundaries of jazz, striving to make connections across continents and to capture the essence of devotional expression long before the term "world music" was coined. Recorded at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1958, Lateef At Cranbrook is a stunning set of instrumentals reaching into the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, the unusual line-up including Frank Morelli on baritone sax, William Austin on rabab, and Terry Polland on piano, with Lateef commanding the proceedings on tenor sax. An exceptional and emotive musical journey.
