My all time favourite saxophonist! His tone is so expressive, full and rich at the bottom of the register and at the top ( something not easy on alto sax!). Amazing sense of time, swing and an infinite musical box of original ideas. Long live Cannonball!!
A fitting tribute to the GREAT JOHN COLTRANE whom both men performed with. 'BALL was greatly influenced by 'TRANE after he joined 'TRANE in MILES' BAND!!! YUSEF encountered 'TRANE in Detroit where 'TRANE spent much time at. Met & married the woman who became his wife in Detroit Alice McLeod. Now, all these GREAT PERFORMERS have gone on into the next dimension. The only one still alive is Louis Hayes. What incredible MEMORIES he must have!!!
Julian Cannonball Adderley (Alto Sax) Nat Adderley (Cornet) Yusef Lateef (Oboe,Tenor Sax, Flute.) Joe Zawinul (Piano) Sam Jones (Bass) Louis Hayes (Drums)
This tune with Lateef reminds me of him doing "Misterioso" with this band. Were they done at the same time? I was surprised to see Joe Zawinul played with these guys. Did not know that till recently.
7:40 You can tell by the body language didn't care about being in charge. Many band leaders would have been intimidated by Yusef Lateef and later Charles Lloyd. Cannon put the music first!
It sounds to me like it is in 11/8. You can divide it into a two measure pattern as if the measures alternate between 6/8 and 5/8. An easier way to feel or count it might be 3 + 3 + 3 + 2.

I had the pleasure of conversing with Brother Yusef on the phone when I ordered a cd, he answered the phone; I had to step back and gather myself.

Yes! What an incredible lineup of giants! Music from heaven!
I just love Yusef Lateef's face when he ends his solo : he literally comes out of a trance !
I find this just stunning! Almost ethereal. Music from another realm!
This Jam Is NICE! LOVE IT. The Combo is on Top of there game. Beautiful Work.
A lot of us forget the “Ball”
He’s a beast!
saw the two brothers perform in Montreal in 1974...seeing Jazz History live....just perfect
I looked for this for at least 10 years and FINALLY found The Tokyo Sessions on a double LP at a record store. Thanks for sharing DC Young!
Good for you!!
Very nice! Always liked Yusef especially with Cannonball's group. Great source of inspiration.
You the man Yusef!

Nice with that overseas flavor!

Youssef Lateef?
What time is this song in?
+Duane Parham 6/8
+Duane Parham This song is in 12/8 :::: (4 lots of 3) can be felt as a fast 3/4 also! Like "My Favorite Things"
Yes, that could be true too; to be honest, I didn't listen far in enough, I was saving it to enjoy later....
