1960 Album Reissued on Limited Edition Clear Vinyl LP!
In 1959, at the time of this recording session, Yusef Lateef was already approaching a new and more open form of jazz. A sophisticated, spiritual yet urban music form informed by non-western languages and cultures. Cry! - Tender is a deeply inventive, mostly contemplative album inspired by an original cosmopolitan vision of jazz and based on masterful playing from a bunch of solid jazz musicians including Wilbur Harden (flugelhorn), Hugh Lawson (piano), Herman Wright (bass) and Oliver Jackson (drums, percussion). All under the direction of master of ceremonies Yusef Lateef on tenor sax, flute, and oboe.
