Yusef Lateef

[Michael Fitzgerald]

I know this one is a favorite of some here. I'm trying to sort out the discographical mess that is found in Bruyninckx (and copied by Lord) for what I *think* is a fairly simple premise. Am I right about the following two statements?

1. Lateef was recorded on only ONE night of this engagement at Pep's - June 29, 1964 (although this is wrongly listed as June 26, 1964 on Impulse IA-9353/2 "The Live Session") There was no June 26 recording, correct?

2. To own EVERYTHING, you just need the two CDs. (Right now I own the vol. 1 CD and the above Impulse 2-LP set, but it appears I'm missing three tunes, originally on the vol. 2 LP and now on the vol. 2 CD.) I'm not forgetting anything and the CDs didn't forget anything, correct? (The vol. 1 CD *does* contain the short final theme of Delilah even though it is not listed anywhere.)

Current discographies have *three* separate entries (one using the 6/26 date), duplicating tunes, mislabeling tunes, etc.

Mike,

Going by the dates given on the two cd's,you are correct that there was only one recording date,June 29,1964.

The two cd's cover everything that was issued on lp.There were three lp's issued, 1. Live At Peps (A69),2.Club Date(AS9310) and 3. The Live Session AI9353 2lp set). Cd volume 1 has the seven original tracks from Live At Peps plus three tracks from Club Date. Cd volume 2 has the three tracks you are missing from Club Date and six tracks from The Live Session.

There should just be one entry in the disco's for the one night. That would eliminate the double entrys that appear in Lord. The last seven songs he lists on The Live Session are in fact the original seven from Live At Peps. He also has a double entry for the three songs from Club Date that are on the Volume 1 cd.

All in all if you get the volume 2 cd you will have it all and wont need the lp you have.

Hope this helps.

Bruyninckx lists them the same way, including the double entry - seems to be one more case where Lord copied from him.

Thanks for the confirmation - could someone ID what horns Lateef plays on those three tunes: Brother John; P. Bouk; Nu-Bouk - and if there are any other personnel alterations (does everyone else play on them)?

Thanks!
