Yusef Lateef - A Flat, G Flat and C (1966) [vinyl]


Especially for KingCake and Le Porc Rouge, but hopefully others will enjoy - the second Yusef Impulse album that has not made it to CD

AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow:
Yusef Lateef (heard on tenor, alto, flute, oboe and the mysterious-sounding theremin) is in explorative and consistently colorful form on this out-of-print LP, one of many Impulse sessions that are long overdue to be reissued on CD. With the assistance of pianist Hugh Lawson, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Roy Brooks, Lateef performs ten songs (eight are his originals) that are all at least in abstract form related to the blues. Well worth several listens.

1. Warm Hearted Blues
2. Nile Valley Blues
3. Robbie
4. Psyche Rose
5. Chuen Blues
6. Feather Comfort
7. Blind Willie
8. Feelin' Alright
9. Sound Wave
10. Kyoto Blues

Yusef Lateef (ts, as, fl, ob, chuen, theremin) Hugh Lawson (p) Reggie Workman (b) Roy Brooks (d)
NYC, March 8 & 9, 1966
(Impulse AS 9117)

    Looks good, and pretty obscure as well. Thank you!

    Gorgeous music, even more enjoyed thanks to a typically excellent grumpy-rip.
    Big thanks for the music and the dedication!
