2025 press. This new edition of the album is released as part of the Original Jazz Classics Series on 180-gram vinyl pressed at RTI with all-analogue mastering from the original tapes at Cohearent Audio and a Stoughton Tip-On Jacket.
One of the great boundary pushers doing exactly that. Jazz Mood finds Yusef Lateef blending classic bop with Eastern scales, blues feeling, and all sorts of strange woodwinds you can’t quite identify. It’s exploratory but still groovy - the kind of record that makes you nod your head and stroke your chin at the same time. Proper “what if Coltrane went on holiday to Cairo” energy.
FFO: Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, Pharaoh Sanders
