Lateef at Cranbrook (Yusef Lateef, tenor sax; Frank Morelli, baritone sax; Terry Pollard, piano; William Austin, bass; Frank Gant, drums; Argo). A quintet given to spicing the group sound with finger cymbals, a one-stringed rebab, and a scraped ram's horn turns its talents to exploring Leader-Composer Lateef's oriental-flavored jazz fancies. Morning and Let Every Soul Say Amen may be too exotic for some tastes, but the easy-swinging sax flights of Gillespie's Woody'n You ought to set any pulse to bouncing...
Hunting last summer for a ship to sink, Movie Producer Andrew (Cry Tenor) Stone was no more successful than the average iceberg.

These rarely recorded songs are the fruits of a collaboration between Beethoven and a Scottish office clerk named George Thomson, who made a hobby of collecting folk music. To render his songs fit for the igth century drawing room, Thomson hired the best poets and composers of the day-Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, Haydn, Beethoven.
