Originally issued on Savoy Records, “Jazz Mood” was Yusef Lateef’s debut as a bandleader and remains a cornerstone in the evolution of modern jazz. Blending hard bop with Middle Eastern influences and modal exploration, the album features an exceptional quintet: Curtis Fuller (trombone), Hugh Lawson (piano), Ernie Farrow (bass, rebab), and Louis Hayes (drums). This new 180g audiophile edition from the Original Jazz Classics series has been carefully remastered from the original analog tapes, offering a pristine sound restoration for collectors and jazz enthusiasts alike.
