JAZZ OBOE - YUSEF LATEEF

Something that you rarely see is the oboe being used to play jazz or blues. Here is a clip of the great Yusef Lateef from 1963 playing a blues on the oboe. Yusef was a monster on the tenor sax, flute and oboe and did not get the recognition that I feel he deserved. Yusef had a brief stint with Cannonball Adderley's group and this video is from that time frame.
Enjoy the sounds of Yusef Lateef!
