Yusef Lateef in Nigeria is an album by American multi-instrumentalist and composer Yusef Lateef recorded in 1983 and released on the Landmark label.[1][2]
Reception
The Allmusic review stated "Yusef Lateef had been a musical giant for three decades when this album came out, his first recording in several years. Unfortunately the emphasis here is on setting introspective moods and there is little development in the improvisations. Lateef (on tenor, flutes and vocals) is joined by five African percussionists and a variety of vocalists (including himself) and, despite good intentions, this session is quite forgettable."[3]
