The Complete Yusef Lateef

The Complete Yusef Lateef is an album by multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef recorded in 1967 and released on the Atlantic label.

Reception

The Allmusic reviewer Thom Jurek stated: "The title of this album is misleading in that it may suggest to the casual viewer a retrospective. It is anything but. Lateef is referring here to the complete in the sense that it contains the completeness of his musical vision at a given time... an album that is as fine as any of his Prestige or Impulse! recordings".
