Tickets & Info
“Yusef Lateef is an artist in the purest form of the word.” —Jazz Weekly
In a rare appearance—his first time in the Twin Cities for more than a decade— legendary Grammy-winning composer/multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef and longtime collaborator/percussionist Adam Rudolph join forces with Twin Cities-based composer /instrument builder Douglas Ewart and longtime Art Ensemble of Chicago saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell for an evening of freewheeling free jazz. Nearly 50 years ago, Lateef was one of the first musicians to deeply study global musical traditions, stirring them into his own compositions with abandon and leading the way for many of today’s world music fusions.
