Yusef Lateef Exotica 45 Riverside 4504

[Teasing the Korean]

Being that I'm a major Yusef Lateef fan and self-proclaimed exotica junkie, try to imagine my excitement when I found out that our hero recorded a full-on EXOTICA SINGLE! With jungle percussion, wordless vocals, and all!

Riverside 4504 featured Morales's "Jungle Fantasy" and Billy Taylor's "Titora!"

Just when I think I have every exotica record, another one pops up!

THANK YOU, ORO, GOD OF VENGEANCE!

OMFG!

Glad you're enjoying it. I'm a big Teefski fan too, but not necessarily a fan of 'exotica" . . .

Are you excited because you've actually found the single?

Those tunes have been available on the Milestone 2-LP called

"The Many Faces of Yusef Lateef" which may not be all that difficult to find.

No, that's where I found them. I'm excited because it's so perfect that YL did exotica! I never had that twofer, and was excited to find two rare exotica tracks on there. It said they were released on that single but I think that twofer was the first time they showed up on LP.

Aaaaah, OK, I see.

I think yer right about it showing up on that set for the first time.

Not sure that I've ever seen it on CD.

Thanks Paul!

Nice to now have a chance to get a clean copy of these.

(as a download too - this may be my first!)
