Wax Love present a reissue of
Yusef Lateef
's
Jazz For The Thinker
, originally released in 1957. Known for his pioneering and multi-instrumental blend of jazz and Afro-Eastern musical traditions, Yusef Lateef has never been content to use his music to merely entertain but has long strived to encourage his audiences to engage their minds as well as their ears. This approach was evident even on his groundbreaking debut album as leader, the aptly titled,
Jazz For The Thinker
. Unlike most debut efforts in jazz at the time, this album is made up entirely of Lateef's own original compositions, further proving that this was a man with a vision right from the start. Here Lateef, on tenor sax, is backed by
Curtis Fuller
on trombone,
Hugh Lawson
on piano,
Ernie Farrow
on bass, and
Louis Hayes
on drums.
