Description:

One of Yusef Lateefâ??s best albums from one of the finest periods of his esteemed career, the 1964 LP Live at Pepâ??s showcases the reedman backed by trumpeter Richard Williams, pianist Mike Nock, bassist Ernie Farrow, and drummer James Black. Taped at a live performance at Pepâ??s Lounge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the album was so successful that a full second LP was culled from the same sets. The program alternates between hard bop originals and covers of jazz classics such as Leonard Featherâ??s â??Twelve Tone Bluesâ? and an unorthodox version of Ma Raineyâ??s â??See See Riderâ?. On â??Sister Mamieâ?, â??Number 7â?, and â??The Magnolia Triangleâ?, Lateef moves away from strict jazz, although he retains his improvisational flair. Live at Pepâ??s received the maximum five-star rating on AllMusic, with critic Ron Wynn stating that: â??This was a pivotal date in Lateefâ??s career, and those unaware of it will get a treat with this discâ?. - 180GR.
