  • Description

    Deluxe limited-edition 2CD set - extensive booklet - all tracks previously unissued, remastered audio transferred from the original tape reels. A truly sensational find, this set presents a never before heard performance recorded in Avignon, France, featuring Yusef Lateef in a quartet set with fellow stars Kenny Barron, Bob Cunningham, and Albert "Tootie" Heath.

    Among the highlights are a fantastic flute/piano duet by Lateef and Barron playing the pianist's beautiful ballad "A Flower", as well as extended readings of the classic "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" (which Lateef recorded just one more time in 1971), Lateef's blues "Yusef's Mood" and Barron's "The Untitled."

    This project, produced by the renowned Zev Feldman, is released with the full collaboration of the Yusef Lateef Estate, as well as those of the other artists involved. The audio has been transferred and newly remastered from the original concert tapes licensed from the archives of the Institut National de l'Audiovisuel (INA).

    Presented in a deluxe 2CD set, the package includes an extensive booklet with rare photos; essays by arts journalist Shannon Effinger and producer Zev Feldman, plus exclusive testimonies by Ayesha Lateef, Kenny Barron, Albert "Tootie" Heath, Adam Rudolph, Reggie Workman, Joe Lovano, Tia Fuller, Bennie Maupin, James Carter and Sonny Rollins.
