STARTS WITH Yusef Lateef The Doctor Is In... And Out 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE LIMITED EDITION LP
180g High Quality Pressing!
Re-mastering by Ray Staff at Air Mastering!
In 1976, Yusef Lateef's as restless a spiritual seeker as
there ever was in the field of music, revisited some of his earliest themes in
the context of modern sonic frameworks: The Eastern modal and melodic
frameworks of his Prestige sides, such as Eastern Sounds, Cry!/Tender, and
Other Sounds, brought to bear in much more sophisticated, complex, and
grooved-out ways -- after all, it had been 20 years or more. The groove
referred to is funk and soul. Funk itself was mutating at the time, so Lateef's
interpolation at the crossroads of all ports in the musical journey was not
only valid in 1976, but also necessary.
For this recording, he utilized an absolutely huge group of
musicians, bringing them in for this or that part, or a sound, or a particular
vamp. Some of those present were Kenny Barron, Ron Carter, Dom Um Romao, Al
Foster, Billy Butler, Anthony Jackson, a five-piece brass section, and a synth
player. Lateef, as always, was offering evocative glimpses of geographical,
psychological, spiritual, and emotional terrain in his compositions, but not in
predictable ways. There's the deep minor-key meditation on blues and evolving
thematic variations on "Hellbound" that becomes a Latin funk tune;
the airy, contemplative, and skeletal "Mystique," which may use a
repeating rhythmic phrase but explores every inch of its margins via a string
section and Lateef's flute solo; the smooth, urban, bluesy funk of "Mississippi
Mud"; the completely out electronic musique of "Technological
Homosapien" that becomes a series of synth squeals and an erratically
tumbling bassline; and the wonderfully warped mariachi variation (sung in
white-boy English) that featured the band playing bluesy hard bop over an
age-old recorded track on "In a Little Spanish Town." It's a weird
way to end a record, but then, it's a weird and wonderful record.

PLUS WE ARE ADDING THE ATLANTIC RECORDS SD 1499 RHINO REMASTERED RELEASE OF THE COMPLETE
Not a greatest hits, those would be superfluous with an artist as diverse (the name of another of his non-greatest hit releases) as Teef. He was starting to get pretty groovin' by 1968, opening his craft up to many influences beyond straight bop and eastern modes namely R&B, funk. This was a trend for many musical forms at that time. Yusef albums are mostly all consistantly strong, beginning with his bop efforts for Savoy in 1957 right through 1977's Autophysiopyschic. Just about every one of them are solid affairs, but that's where my personal interest fades. Still, that 20 years worth, a heck of a lot of music, all of consistantly high quality, a greatest hits would be highly subjective and fairly pointless. The only logical way to proceed is from Eastern Sounds, the Savoy period, Prestige, Impulse and Atlantic, "Complete" being one of his standout efforts for that label. Certainly not the first, but you really can't go wrong, Yusef Lateef is as real as it gets.

LASTLY EASTERN SOUNDS 1991 PRESTIGE RECORDS REMASTERED BY PHIL DE LANCIE FACTORY SEALED VINYL NOTE THIS LP WERE TIGHTLY WRAPPED BY THE MANUFACTURE AND MAY NOT BE TOTALLY FLAT VINYL.
Yusef Lateef’s EASTERN SOUNDS 1991 PRESTIGE RECORDS REMASTERED BY PHIL DE LANCIE interpolation into his music of traditions, modes, and instruments of Asia struck a sympathetic chord in the jazz audience. Perhaps its fascination lay in the apparently inextinguishable human need for mysticism, perhaps in the unending attraction of the sadness and beauty of minor keys. At any rate, there was considerable demand for Lateef’s many recordings of the late 1950s and early Sixties that reflected his fascination with things oriental. Eastern Sounds, in fact, was one of his best sellers. One of the warmest and most accessible soloists in jazz, Lateef is a master not only of conventional reed instruments but many unconventional ones. Here, using only tenor saxophone, flute, and oboe, he generates mystery and exoticism.
