Yusef Lateef Documentary

I have been listening to a lot of Yusef Latef lately and then suddenly this came up on youtube. May well not be everybody's cup of tea, but I found it interesting and inspiring.

Thanks, I will have a look at this. Yusef Lateef is a special voice on saxes and other instruments. I regularly play his recording, The Centaur and the Phoenix.

Thanks for this! I used to listen a lot to his album Yusef Lateef in Nigeria. Nice to see his quietness and aliveness, and hear a man with so much experience talk about the unknown.

A very unique musician. His patterns book has been a great inspiration during my jazz piano years. I think I must go to my parents house and find it. It would be great to replay these patterns at the saxophone

Ellinas, thanks for bringing this book to my attention. I have found a free pdf download on the internet, and will be getting it printed out shortly. Digging his sound will be the motivation to practice!!
