After such a gloomy beginning the classical blues number \"Like It Is\" comes over like a breath of fresh air, with it's superb string quartet as the foundation. The R\u0026amp;B contributions on the other tracks testify to Lateef's skilled excursions into the realm of the blues, while the truly adventurous tracks such as \"Back Home\" and the mystic, Chinese odyssey \"Moon Cup\" weave a magical net of sheer pleasure. \"The Blue Yusef Lateef\" is in every possible way absolutely breathtaking. It is a milestone as a jazz album. As a blues album it is quite unique. But as a musical work of art it is a glorious and genial masterpiece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Juba Juba \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Like It Is \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Othelia \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Moon Cup \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Back Home \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Get Over, Get Off and Get on \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Six Miles Next Door \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Sun Dog\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Yusef Lateef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60262783516753,"sku":"Cp1-46412362","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/5778\/3889\/files\/3778676-3630055.jpg?v=1788200484","url":"https:\/\/vinylkingdom.com\/products\/yusef-lateef-the-blue-yusef-lateef-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
