This might be a fun challenge.  Let's say you ran a record label, and let's say you could get the rights from all the different labels of all of Yusef Lateef's output from, say, 1957 - 1962, and let's say you wanted to put out a one-CD set of the best of Yusef during those years...which tracks would you choose for this compilation disc and how would you sequence it?  Remember, you're limited to, let's say, 78 minutes (the length of a CD).  What would your compilation disc look like?

I would love a full-blast Mosaic set of these years, pulling together the Savoys, Riversides, the Verve, and the Impulses.  That's a lot of music (and probably unlikely licensing, especially in the case of the Riversides), but a fella can dream, cain't he?  Oh, and the booklet/notes written by Mark Stryker.

If I had my druthers, I’d compile a 79 minute “Best of Yusef Lateef on tenor” compilation CD.

And before anyone complains, it’s just a compilation - and does nothing to limit access to the rest of his catalog.
