From 1968, this coherently experimental set combines the best of 60’s Jazz and Blues. ‘Juba Juba’ featuring the Sweet Inspirations has a feel reminiscent of nineteenth century spirituals as sung in the fields. ‘Like It Is’ is superbly contemplative and understated. The vibrant ‘Back Home’ is a tough Blues featuring two basses and has a Baroque feel. Check too the breezy ‘Sun Dog’. Yusef Lateef was a student of the world’s music and ‘The Blue Yusef Lateef’ exhibits those influences albeit drenched in the Blues.
