Take a Ride on the A Train!

[Thelonious Nick]

Just put up the latest review on my site, The A Train. This week's review is of the Yusef Lateef album The Sounds of Yusef. On this 1957 album, Lateef utilizes Indian and Chinese instruments on five standards and originals. Check it out, along with other reviews of classic jazz albums for the novice jazz listener at http://nicholas_bruner.tripod.com/the_a_train/index.html.
