A Farewell Willie


            

An ising breathes out away

Farewell we -pooh stick- wait on bridge
awaiting wake ripple grips to trickle these lives together
once
more

I just feeled heart thoughts

Eastern Samples


This, is an album, of verily rapacious rapport to me(don't mind these words, they just spill out dreamlike without much thought to meaning). Majestic etherealizing whispers, not quite jazz, more like music, more like swimming through a pool of perfumed shea butter. And a double dose here I suppose...I shan't (oh pish posh so posh) introduce Yusef Lateef without Nujabes. He DJed hiphopping katana slicing beats through Samurai Champloo, but, but, but the important connection here: Nujabes sampled Yusef a fair bit. Listen to these in whatever order thouest wishes but! be sure to find that deeeeeelectable piano bit sampled in Feather which dances out deity divinelike in Love theme from the “Robe.” (Barry Harris the exceptional pianist pianoing this melody out).



Love The from "The Robe", Yusef Lateef on Eastern Sounds


Blues For The Orient, Yusef Lateef on Eastern Sounds
