On The Blue Yusef Lateef (1968), listeners get an amazing chapter from the late ’60s, an amazing period when everything in the world of Jazz was changing. Lateef was big on concept recordings. This album examines all the different ranges of emotion contained within the blues genre. In sound, it is the very best the ’60s had to offer in terms of experimentation and accessibility. This is blues you can dance to, but also meditate to and marvel at.
