It is my distinct honor to have been invited to contribute to the centennial celebration of my first music teacher, Yusef Lateef.

I filmed this as part of the exhibit titled 100 Responses to Yusef Lateef:

We asked a wide variety of people who knew Yusef Lateef to reflect on the ways he impacted their lives, detail the nature of their relationship, share stories, and think deeply about his legacy. 

Films and Videos:

It is hard to find a musician who explored more different kinds of music than Yusef Lateef.

This collection of performances, curated by his close collaborator, Adam Rudolph, hints at Dr. Lateef’s prodigious musical interests and immense talent across all musical boundaries.
