Yusef Lateef • Eastern Sounds

Recorded in 1961. The album features Lateef's continued exploration of Middle Eastern music, which were incorporated into his version of hard bop with a quartet featuring Barry Harris on piano. The opening track features Lateef on Chinese globular flute, generally called the xun. The fusing of musical genres was not a new thing in jazz or for Lateef as his 1957 album Prayer to the East incorporated the shehnai and Middle Eastern influences in playing jazz standards. Aside from Lateef's original compositions, there are covers of themes from the films Spartacus and The Robe, the last one being used as samples.

El tema de apertura presenta a Lateef en la flauta globular china, generalmente llamada xun. La fusión de los géneros musicales no era algo nuevo en el jazz o para Lateef, ya que su álbum Prayer to the East de 1957 incorporó las influencias del shehnai y del Oriente Medio en la interpretación de los estándares del jazz. Aparte de las composiciones originales de Lateef, hay portadas de temas de las películas Spartacus y The Robe, esta última se utiliza como muestras.
