If not for the title track that opens the album, Yusef Lateef’s “1984” would be remembered as an excellent example of post bop as it was emerging in the mid-1960’s. But, oh man, that title track: an eight minute foray into another realm altogether, with Lateef blowing a whole array of wind instruments – some of his own making – and muttering low utterances through the large end of a cow’s horn that lends the track much of it’s otherworldly feel. While the composition definitely feels dystopian, there isn’t any mention in the liner notes of the obvious connection to George Orwell’s classic of the same name, although it’s hard to believe Lateef didn’t have that in mind when he named the song. It isn’t as busy or in-your-face as some of the other avant garde jazz works appearing at this time, and it helps that there some discernible harmony going on among the players.
The rest of the album finds the group keeping their experimental side more or less in check as they run through a number of exciting originals by Lateef, one tune by pianist Mike Nock, a few standards and a version of “Warm Fire,” which is billed on the back cover as “Duke Ellington’s latest creation”. The songs follow an advanced hard bop form, with some avant garde and free jazz elements thrown in for good measure.
This is an original first US pressing from 1965 in a heavy gatefold sleeve! The vinyl has visible scratches but plays fine. The sleeve shows heavy signs of usage and some stains inside the gatefold. Priced accordingly.
