Description

2022 Reissue on Survival Research.

A multi-instrumentalist who reconfigured jazz many times during his long carreer, Yusef Lateef came into prominence in the late 1950s, after having toured with Dizzy Gillespie. 

'Jazz Mood' dates from 1957, when his Quintet had some of Detroit's finest, including Alice Coltrane's brother Ernest Farrow on bass and future Jazz Messenger Curtis Fuller on trombone. 

The use of an argol on 'Metaphor' and a rabat and finger cymbals on 'Morning' point to Lateef's Islamic grounding and his belief that music serves a higher purpose.

This edition has bonus track 'Passion', from the equally excellent 'Before Dawn'.

Rich, deep and varied, this is required listening for all serious jazz heads!
