1	The Golden Flute (1966) more music like this by Yusef Lateef The emphasis is on older tunes and styles on this Yusef Lateef Impulse! album. Lateef (switching between tenor, flute, and oboe) plays such numbers as "Straighten Up and Fly Right," "Ghost of a Chance," "Exactly like You" (on oboe), and "Rosetta" along with some group originals. Lateef has long been a true original, and he revitalizes the ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
2	Eastern Sounds (1961) more music like this by Yusef Lateef One of multi-instrumentalist and composer Yusef Lateef's most enduring recordings, Eastern Sounds was one of the last recordings made by the band that Lateef shared with pianist Barry Harris after the band moved to New York from Detroit, where the jazz scene was already dying. Lateef had long been interested in Eastern music, long before John ... see all copies from $7.40! new only from $7.40!
3	The Centaur and the Phoenix (1960) more music like this by Yusef Lateef From his first explosion of recordings in the mid-'50s, Yusef Lateef was a player who was always gently stretching the boundaries of his music to absorb techniques, new rhythms, and new influences from Africa, the Middle East and Asia. The Centaur and the Phoenix, however, takes the risks and the innovations that Lateef was known for, and expands ... see all copies from $11.96! new only from $13.03!
4	Cry!/Tender (1959) more music like this by Yusef Lateef In 1959, Yusef Lateef began using the oboe in his recording sessions and on live dates. This album marks that occasion, and is thus a turning point in an amazingly long and varied career. Accompanied by Lonnie Hillyer on trumpet, Hugh Lawson on piano, bassist Herman Wright, and drummer Frank Gant, Lateef was digging deeply into a new lyricism that ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
5	Live at Pep's (1964) more music like this by Yusef Lateef This mid-'60s concert was one of Lateef's finest, as it perfectly displayed his multiple influences and interests. There were hard bop originals, covers of jazz classics like Oscar Pettiford's "Oscarlypso" (a CD bonus track) and Leonard Feather's "Twelve Tone Blues," as well as an unorthodox but effective version of Ma Rainey's "See See Rider." On ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
6	Meditations (1990) more music like this by Yusef Lateef Included are more recent and introspective works. Myles Boisen, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.76!
7	Other Sounds (1957) more music like this by Yusef Lateef Quintet Other Sounds was the first album on which Yusef Lateef looked beyond the confines of jazz and popular music to hear and perhaps "sing" the music he heard from the East. He hadn't yet embraced it, but it intrigued him enough to employ the use of an argol on this recording. Lateef's band on this date featured flügelhorn giant Wilbur Harden, pianist ... see all copies from $12.03! new only from $16.38!
8	The Gentle Giant (1972) more music like this by Yusef Lateef Yusef Lateef's Atlantic recordings on a whole are much more erratic than his earlier Riverside and Impulse dates. This album has its moments of interest. There is less straightahead swinging than had been heard previously and, along with some exotic pieces, much of this music falls into the R&B field. Lateef, heard on flutes, oboe and tenor, ... see all copies from $9.29! new only from $9.29!
9	Lost in Sound (1960) more music like this by Yusef Lateef Despite its questionable origins, Lost in Sound is an enjoyable early '60s session from Yusef Lateef that captures the multi-instrumentalist as he was beginning to break free from hard-bop and explore more adventurous avenues. It's not nearly as focused or strong as the major-label sessions he led during the early '80s, but dedicated collectors ... see all copies from $10.37! new only from $10.37!
10	Psychicemotus (1964) more music like this by Yusef Lateef Psychicemotus was released in 1965 and features Yusef Lateef on various flutes and tenor saxophone, Georges Arvanitas on piano, bassist Reggie Workman, and drummer James Black. And while the Coltrane era of modal and free jazz was in full swing, Lateef always followed his own muse, and continued looking forward while looking back to ancient musics ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
11 view cover	The Three Faces of Yusef Lateef (1960) more music like this by Yusef Lateef On The Three Faces of Yusef Lateef, Riverside seems eager to present Yusef Lateef, technical virtuoso, on a series of songs that step closer to jazz tradition than any of his work in the recent past. Largely absent are Lateef's experiments with Eastern modes, rhythms, and instrumentation, and in their place is a collection of largely upbeat, ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
12 view cover	Into Something (1961) more music like this by Yusef Lateef This superior set (which has been reissued on CD) features Yusef Lateef on some straight-ahead tunes, including "When You're Smiling (The Whole World Smiles with You)," "I'll Remember April," and "You've Changed." In addition, there are some more adventurous and exotic works too, making this a well-rounded program. Lateef is joined by pianist ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!

15 view cover	Concerto for Yusef Lateef (1986) more music like this by Yusef Lateef Although Yusef Lateef hates musical categorization, this Atlantic set was accurately released as part of Atlantic's New Age series. Lateef (on tenor, soprano, flutes, koto and both acoustic and electric percussion) is joined by two bassists, one guitar, a classical clarinetist and two exotic percussionists to create what is essentially mood music. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.72!
16 view cover	In the Garden (2003) more music like this by Yusef Lateef/Adam Rudolph/Go: Organic Orchestra It would probably be an exaggeration to say that Yusef Lateef is underrated; the veteran saxophonist has long commanded a loyal, enthusiastic following. But it might be safe to say that some historians in the jazz world don't adequately explain just how much of an innovator he is. Lateef was one of the very first people to play modal post-bop -- ... see all copies from $12.70! new only from $12.70!
17 view cover	The Doctor Is In & Out (1976) more music like this by Yusef Lateef 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, ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
18 view cover	Last Savoy Sessions (2000) more music like this by Yusef Lateef These pivotal sessions for Lateef and his Detroit-based groups comprise some of his most important music recorded for the Savoy label. This double CD set consists of complete albums The Dreamer and The Fabric of Jazz. (1959) and Jazz & The Sounds of Nature and Prayer to the East (1957) as well as a bonus cut. CD one is from the 1959 date, and ... see all copies from $26.92! new only from $26.92!
19 view cover	Hush 'N' Thunder (1972) more music like this by Yusef Lateef Recorded four years after Detroit, Yusef Lateef's Hush 'N' Thunder is a restless, wildly varied set, focusing on two aspects of his composing and playing methodology that have usually been showcased separately -- at least on his records. One is his R&B background, which comes off with a serious, down-home relativism that echoes both the Deep South ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
20 view cover	Part of the Search (1971) more music like this by Yusef Lateef Yusef Lateef's Atlantic albums tended to be erratic affairs with plenty of chances taken and the overall results being a mixed success. This set (reissued on CD) is one of his better efforts from the era. Lateef, doubling on tenor and alto this time, is backed not only by his trio but a big band, string quartet, three background vocalists and a ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $10.72!

24 view cover	Contemplation (1960) more music like this by Yusef Lateef Issued by Vee Jay in 1974, Contemplation was recorded in 1960 and has Lateef fronting a stellar ensemble that includes longtime collaborator Barry Harris on piano, Nat Adderley on cornet, Louis Hayes on drums, and Sam Jones on bass. While the title of the session may be associated with Lateef's more Eastern-themed albums, Contemplation is an album ... see all copies from $12.81! new only from $12.81!
25 view cover	Yusef Lateef's Detroit (1969) more music like this by Yusef Lateef After issuing the spiritually compelling and contemplatively swinging Complete Yusef Lateef in 1967, Dr. Yusef Lateef's sophomore effort for Atlantic shifted gears entirely. Lateef chose his old stomping grounds of Detroit for an evocative musical study of the landscape, people, and spirit and terrain. Lateef spent the late-'50s in the city ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
