 Notes  
     Yusef Lateef long had an inquisitive spirit and he was never just a
     bop or hard bop soloist. Lateef, who did not care much for the term
     "jazz," consistently created music that stretched (and even broke
     through) boundaries. A superior tenor saxophonist with a soulful
     sound and impressive technique, by the 1950s Lateef was one of the
     top flutists around. He also developed into the best jazz soloist to
     date on oboe, was an occasional bassoonist, and introduced such
     instruments as the argol (a double clarinet that resembles a
     bassoon), shanai (a type of oboe), and different types of flutes.
     Lateef played 'world music' before it had a name and his output was
     much more creative than much of the pop and folk music that passed
     under that label in the '90s.
     Grammy Award-winning multi-instrumentalist, composer and educator,
     Yusef Abdul Lateef was without doubt, via his incorporation of other
     cultures music into his own, one of the most adventurous jazz
     musicians in the history of the genre, as well as a man way ahead of
     his time. Whilst primarily a master of both tenor saxophone and
     flute, Lateef was famed too for his heavy use of Eastern
     instrumentation - including shanai, shofar, argol, sarewa, and
     taiwan koto. Peter Keepnews, in his New York Times obituary of
     Lateef, wrote that the musician 'played world music before world
     music had a name'.
     Lateef began recording in 1957 for both Savoy Records and for New
     Jazz (a subsidiary of Prestige). Even at this early stage in his
     career, Lateefs grasp and implementation of Eastern influences was a
     central theme within his music. This is clear from the very first
     composition on his debut album "Jazz For The Thinker" (Savoy, 1957),
     where the use of North African instruments and unique vocal phrasing
     alongside more traditional arrangements were quite unlike anything
     else then available.
     With his album "The Sounds Of Yusef" (Prestige, 1958), he included
     Turkish finger cymbals, balloon and even an empty 7Up bottle as
     instruments. Throughout this period, Yusef recorded and performed
     with a quartet, featuring Wilbur Harden (trumpet, flugelhorn),
     bassist Herman Wright, drummer Frank Gant, and pianist Hugh Lawson.
     Lateef was then among the hardest-working jazz musicians on the
     circuit, producing no fewer than eight albums during this period and
     even finding the time to study oboe under Ronald Odemark of the
     Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
     Demonstrating clearly the ambition and complex musical mind of Yusef
     Lateef, these first eight records are collected across the four
     discs making up this boxed-set, serving as they do to immortalise
     this majestic and unique talent as one of Jazz's very finest, and as
     a pioneer of what we have come to know as World Music.
