Always nice to repost something that someone requested that I probably haven't listened to since I first posted it over 4 years ago. This is great stuff. Not a bad track across both lps.
These are Lateef''s first sessions as a leader after his move from Detroit to NYC. Originally released across 3 Savoy lps from just two sessions a few days apart.
These sessions were recorded a year before I was thrust upon the world. These reissues were released in 76, my senor year in high school. Only a year had passed since I had realized the fantastic sounds of Miles and Trane. This shit wasn't even on my radar. Tis a shame.

This Ysef Lateef album sure brings back a lot of memories. Very good album. Thank you very much.
Wow..so fast...you're welcome!!!!
Thanks, I had this double LP for 30 years, it's one of my all-time favorite Lateef albums. Not a bad track on the two LPs.
Cheers
Thanks a lot. Necer got these sessions complete
any chance for re-up? Would love to hear this one.....there's a cd box of these albums out in europe on fresh sounds, but this lp appears in the used bins sometimes. THought it might be worth picking up. Really love 'Cry Tender', it's well worth checking out.
New link cats...
