All About Jazz
Lateef’s wordless lowing has the quality of a spiritual incantation. Jamal joins the ensemble for “Masara,” maintaining a vamp as Lateef hypnotizes with a gently snaking flute improvisation. […]

The Guardian
But it’s his passionate, yodelly vocal implorings and abstract flute effects on the gospel-steeped Brother Hold Your Light that gives this set a special character, less urbane than usual for Jamal. His 1950s pop hit Poinciana makes an obligatory, and rapturously received, appearance at the end. […]

Black Grooves
Although the listener may desire more of Lateef’s challenging presence, this is still a strong record. In a contemporary jazz scene replete with consistent releases by perennial favorites playing in their long-maintained signature styles, Live at the Olympia showcases two veteran performers who were still at the top of their games. – See more at: http://blackgrooves.org/ahmad-jamal-featuring-yusef-lateef-live-at-the-olympia-june-27-2012/#sthash.FGOCn7kd.dpuf […]
