The composer, performer, recording artist, author, educator and philosopher Yusef Lateef has been a major force on the international musical scene for more than six decades. He is universally acknowledged as one of the great living masters and innovators in the African American tradition of autophysiopsychic music — that which comes from one’s spiritual, physical and emotional self. His recording debut was with Dizzy Gillespie in 1949 and today at 88 years of age, Yusef Lateef is still playing with amazing strength and imagination.
The sounds created by these 4 artists are ancient and very contemporary at the same time -nobody in the world is making this kind of music and we are proud to present this great band and the unique oppertunity to experience Yusef Lateef live in concert. The quartet plays music composed by all four members and has so far produced a selftitled album. It is with great pleasure that we present the bands debut concert at this years Copenhagen Jazz Festival. Don't miss it!
