Yusef Lateef (1920-2013) (Michael Ochs)
Michael S. Wright writes:
Hi William,
I
thought others may not be aware of the death of Yusef Lateef. A highly
original composer and performer (tenor sax, flute, and oboe) and he
incorporated scales and instruments from Africa, Asia, and the Middle
East. His style who successfully crossed the boundaries of jazz,
classical European and Middle Eastern music. He composed a number of
major works and I cite Yusef Lateef's Little Symphony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwwDowB0llA in four movements as an example.

Kind regards
Mike
