4.0 out of 5 stars Late Night Jazz With An Exotic Flavour, 14 Aug 2001
This review is from: Eastern Sounds (Audio CD)
Yusef Lateef's Eastern Sounds is a classic album from the Sixties that was a firm favourite with both jazz fans and flower children. In fact, I first encountered it when it was given to me by a hippy chick who performed wonderfully sensuous dances to it. But it remains a jazz album with a nicely exotic flavour and it has been re-mastered to sound better than ever. Lateef plays a variety of reed instruments backed by a traditional rhythm section of piano, bass and drums. The music ranges from originals to a couple of film themes which, in Lateef's hands, become minor revelations. In fact, my favourite track is his version of the Love Theme from Spartacus - partly for the way that Lateef manages to turn the oboe into a seductive jazz instrument, but mostly for Barry Harris's lyrical piano that effortlessly fuses progression and melody. Indeed, Harris was a major factor in the success of this album and his talent deserved much wider recognition. Still, Eastern Sounds remains Lateef's moment - and an incredibly shining moment it is. The music is as fresh and refreshing as it was on the day it was recorded. And it will appeal to many people who do not normally consider themselves to be jazz fans. Listeners who already know Lateef will need little convincing to buy this CD. I would recommend it to everyone - to be listened to in a relaxed environment of candles and incense.
