Yusef Lateef - Psychicemotus LP

In 1965, while the Coltrane era of modal and free jazz was in full swing, Lateef always followed his own muse, and continued looking forward while looking back to ancient musics. His use of bamboo and Chinese wood flutes add depth and texture, while his beautiful reading of Erik Satie's "First Gymnopedie" is a restrained masterstroke.
