Oh man, I'm so jealous that you got the chance to talk with Yusef Lateef. That must have been awesome to pick his brain about music. He's one of my favorite musicians (alongside Coltrane himself of course). Eastern Sounds is still one of my favorite albums. He was one of those musicians who had a unique sound but was always trying new things.
- lucasgonze 10y agoI'm so happy I got to have that meeting. He's a hero of mine too. He did a particular live solo that left a deep impression. The whole thing was integrated. There was a simple little motif that he built on, playing it over and over again, elaborating on bits, remembering the variations, repeating them, adding little elaborations to the elaborations. Eventually, it became like a labyrinth with the original motif in the center.
