Complete quartet studio sessions by Yusef Lateef that feature pianist Barry Harris plus 1 bonus track, two tracks appear for the frst time ever on CD

Yusef Lateef (1920-2013) was one of the frst Afro-American jazz musicians toembrace the Islamic faith. Although his main instruments were the tenor saxophone and the fute, he was known for his innovative blending of jazz with Asian music. His "Eastern"' infuences are clearly audible on Eastern Sounds (Moodsville MVST- 22), which is presented here in its entirety along with all his other quartet recordings with iconic pianist Barry Harris. Among them are two tracks, "Cookin'" and "Marching Piper Blues", which were only issued on a hard to fnd single and appear here for the frst time ever on CD. A rare studio reading of "Brother John", one of Lateef's best known compositions has been added as a further bonus.
