''Eastern Sounds'' is an album by jazz saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef, recorded in 1961. The album features Lateef's continued exploration of Middle Eastern music, which were incorporated into his version of hard bop with a quartet featuring Barry Harris on piano. The opening track features Lateef on Chinese globular flute,〔(All About Jazz )〕 generally called the xun,.〔(Naxos )〕 The fusing of musical genres was not a new thing in jazz or for Lateef as his 1957 album ''Prayer to the East'' incorporated the shehnai and Middle Eastern influences in playing jazz standards.〔(Boston Phoenix )〕 Aside from Lateef's original compositions, there are covers of themes from the films ''Spartacus'' and ''The Robe'', the last one being used as samples by Blockhead and Nujabes. ==Track listing== #"The Plum Blossom" (Yusef Lateef) – 5:03 #"Blues for the Orient" (Lateef) – 5:40 #"Chinq Miau" (Lateef) – 3:20 #"Don't Blame Me" (Jimmy McHugh) – 4:57 #"Love Theme from ''Spartacus''" (Alex North) – 4:15 #"Snafu" (Lateef) – 5:42 #"Purple Flower" (Lateef) – 4:32 #"Love Theme from ''The Robe''" (Alfred Newman) – 4:02 #"The Three Faces of Balal" (Lateef) – 2:23 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eastern Sounds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
