The Sounds of Yusef recorded for Prestige and released in Oct 1957 shows
Lateef's blossoming interest in exploring the sounds of the East. This
is a predecessor to his classic 1961 "Eastern Sounds" disc. My fave
track is the adventurous and experimental "Love and Humor" with it's
Chinese gong, Asian style flute lines played by Lateef and a passage of
apparently non-traditional instruments like 7-Up bottles and the taught
surfaces of balloons stroked til they create that high pitched squeaking
kids seem to love way more than adults. Anyhow, it's not all like that,
and any traditional jazz fans could still enjoy the melodious opener
"Take the 'A' Train".

The
Sounds of Yusef, grabado para Prestige y publicado en octubre de 1957,
muestra el floreciente interés de Lateef por explorar los sonidos de
Oriente. Se trata de un predecesor de su clásico disco "Eastern Sounds"
de 1961. Mi tema favorito es el aventurero y experimental "Love and
Humor" con su gong chino, líneas de flauta de estilo asiático tocadas
por Lateef y un pasaje de instrumentos aparentemente no tradicionales
como botellas de 7-Up y las superficies enseñadas de los globos
acariciadas hasta crear ese chirrido agudo que parece gustar a los niños
más que a los adultos. De todos modos, no todo es así, y cualquier
aficionado al jazz tradicional podrá disfrutar de la melodiosa apertura
"Take the 'A' Train".
