Yusef Lateef was an American jazz musician, artist, composer, and producer. Born on October 9, 1920 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA and passed away on December 23, 2013 in Amherst, Massachusetts at the age of 93.

Lateef was a multi-instrumentalist known for his mastery of the tenor saxophone and flute. He also played rare instruments in jazz such as the oboe and bassoon. His music incorporated non-western instruments like the bamboo flute, shanai, shofar, xun, arghul and koto.

An innovative artist with an insatiable curiosity for exploration beyond traditional boundaries of jazz music. Lateef's soulful sound and impressive technique made him one of the top flutists by the 1950s. He introduced unique instruments like the arghul (a double clarinet resembling a bassoon) and shanai (a type of oboe). His musical style can be described as "world music" long before that term was coined.

Back In Stock

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 among others: 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.
