The Sounds of Yusef is an album by multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef recorded in 1957 and released on the Prestige label.[1]
Reception
The Allmusic review stated: "The Sounds of Yusef manages to chart some new territory amid his sea of late-'50s recordings. Many of the songs tilt their head toward the East, both rhythmically and in their instrumentation, but the album as a whole still has its feet firmly planted in the jazz tradition".[2]
