4CD Set, 32 page book-let Digitally Remastered 24-BIT / 96 kHz In 1950, after a year on tour with Dizzy Gillespie s band, Yusef Lateef returned to Detroit, the city where he had grown up as a jazz musician. With his powerfully preaching tenor sax tone and fluent, driving style he established himself as an influential presence in the Motor City scene, forming his own quintet in 1955. He made his first recordings as a leader in 1957, a productive year for him, as this gripping 4-CD set reveals. On it he plays tenor and flute with a compelling directness and overpowering honesty, surrounded by a nucleus of Detroiters like Curtis Fuller, Ernie Farrow, Louis Hayes, Oliver Jackson, Wilbur Harden and, especially, Hugh Lawson, whose rolling, two-handed piano is as exciting in solo as it is in his intelligent comping. The entire group plays in inspired fashion, speaking authoritatively for the Detroit jazz scene.

Damn funky Yusef Lateef! The record's one of Lateef's best on Atlantic -- as it combines the funky style the label was working him in, with some of the more complicated, tripped-out styles he was forging on earlier records. The standout cut is the long take on Kenny Barron's "Nubian Lady" which begins the record -- and Kenny also contributed the tighter grooving "Jungle Plum". Other tracks include "African Song", "Queen Of The Night", "Poor Fishermen", "Below Yellow Bell", and a strange version of "Hey Jude" that goes on for a long time, and really messes with the volume -- listed on the cover with the note "Do not adjust the playback level on your audio equipment -- readjust your mind!"

(Vinyl LP) Reissue of classic album from Yusef Lateef (sax, oboe, flute) recorded in 1961. Backed by pianist Barry Harris, bassist Ernie Farrow and drummer Lex Humphries.

Originally released in 1969. A heart-felt tribute to the city of Detroit is the theme of this album including 'Belle Isle', Woodward Avenue' and 'Bishop School' and features Jazz greats Eric Gale, Thad Jones, Ray Barretto and Bernard Purple. 2002.
