	• SKU: 319771 • UPC: 090431635124 • Shipping: $1.26 • Description: Personnel: Yusef Lateef (vocals, alto & tenor saxophones, flute, oboe); Hugh Lawson (piano); Cecil McBee (bass0: Roy Brooks (drums). Originally released on Atlantic (1499). Includes liner notes by Sonny Buxton. When Yusef Lateef left Impulse! for Atlantic in 1967, he was transitioning his musical impulses once again. Lateef has, from the beginning, been an artist for whom a holistic approach to the musical aesthetic has been paramount. The title of this album is misleading in that it may suggest to the casual viewer a retrospective. It is anything but. Lateef is referring here to the complete in the sense that it contains the completeness of his musical vision at a given time. Lateef's Atlantic period has been unjustly undervalued, and this recording is a case in point. With a lineup consisting of Lateef on oboe, flute, saxophones, and even vocalizing, Detroit's venerable Roy Brooks on drums, bassist Cecil McBee, and pianist Hugh Lawson, the surface would point to a straight-up though adventurous "jazz" date. It's not. Lateef engages deeply in spiritual music here on the modal, Eastern-flavored opening track, "Rosalie," and shifts immediately to playing the blues on "In the Evening." (How many cats can you say play the blues on the oboe?) In 12 bars, Lateef phrases against the backbeat and holds McBee in a corner long enough to stride out of a series of minor-seventh changes. On "Kongsberg," the band moves into a second-line New Orleans R&B groove, with Lateef blowing a big, fat, dirty yowl. It would be perfect for bar walking except that in some places it's too quick and in others it's too tender. "Stay With Me" is a beautiful ballad driven by McBee's droning pizzicato lushly followed by Lateef's flute playing melody. Lawson comps in between notes for a more exotic feel, and Brooks plays a series of subtle but shifting rhythms in counterpoint to the changes. "Brother" is along the R&B trail once again, but it's crossed with Lateef's own modal trademarks in ostinato and legato phrasing. The set closes with Lateef singing a broken, mysterious love song in true Paul Robeson fashion on "You're Somewhere Thinking of Me." With his strength as both a rhythmic and a melodic player, McBee once again leads the band through these spare yet knotty, elongated changes. The finger flute solo by Lateef stands in sharp contrast to his baritone vocals and makes for an eerie yet compelling end to an album that is as fine as any of his Prestige or Impulse! recordings. ~ Thom Jurek

The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday because for many retailers it was the day they went from being in the red to being in the black when they became profitable for the year. It is also the official beginning of the holiday shopping season, and Black Friday has become known for some of the best bargains, discounts and deals of the entire year! Everyone has watched stampeding crowds on the local news or diehard bargain hunters camping out overnight so they can be among the first to grab limited black friday specials at their favorite local retailers... However, if you prefer doing your holiday discount shopping from the warm and cozy comfort of home, then Cyber Monday was designed with you in mind! Online retailers spotted the Black Friday frenzy sweeping across the country as it took over brick and mortar locations - rather than compete for your black friday attention, they concocted a day that is all their own and named it Cyber Monday! The Monday after Thanksgiving is when your favorite online stores slash prices and offer their very best prices to help usher in the online holiday shopping season! That means big savings for you whether you choose to brave the local crowds on Black Friday or avoid the madness by browsing online during Cyber Monday Sales! Not to worry - the Friday and Monday after Thanksgiving might get the most attention for discount holiday shopping, but if you procrastinate beyond that magical bargain hunting window it doesn't mean you will be completely left out... In fact, this promises to be an exceptionally consumer-friendly holiday shopping season with sales, coupons and discounts extending far beyond Black Friday and Cyber Monday and allowing you to find the best prices on holiday gifts until the very last minute! Hoping to avoid discount shopping withdrawal? Even after Christmas and Hanukkah have come and gone, you'll still have After Holiday Specials to help usher in the New Year!
