I was wondering about this as well. Lateef would have been in his early 90s(!) when this was recorded (he died a year later at 93).

 

The blurb at HD Tracks (below) answered the question for me.  Looks like he joined the band for the final song (Poinciana).  I'm looking forward to giving this a listen once Tidal gets it.

 

 

 

Check out the video of "Poinciana" on YouTube.  No sign of Yusef on the stage.  Maybe is he off to the side.  I also do not hear a horn at all.

This is both an outstanding performance AND recording of Mendelssohn’s masterpiece.

 

I discovered the hi-res version, which in this case sounds considerably better, on the label’s website, for a reasonable $12.99.

As John Cleese used to say "And now for something completely different..."

Its an unusual trio in the classical world for sure but try it, you might like it. Cool SQ, too.

@coot these organ duos/trios have really grown on me since coming across the ages old Cellier pan flute and organ recording.  By no means are they every day listening material.  The coordination required makes them quite special 'recitals' in my mind that are worth owning.

 

Having seen the coordination and mastery of repertoire these twin sisters exhibit playing separate grand pianos.  It is also quite extraordinary.

Unexpectedly the booklet pegged this as a children's album.  As promised, there were no scary heart leaping out of your chest moments to disturb.  Only intentionally triggered 5 second reverberations.

Blue Note puts out some very interesting compilations and this series is great.

@sphinxsix Title song on first disc composed by Villa-Lobos opens with 45 seconds of birdsong.

I love Max Richter, and I love the Four Seasons, but would I love Max Richter's recomposition of the Four Seasons? 

 

Turns out, yes!

[austinpop]

Not all LSO recordings are great, but this one is marvelous. Got this from the B&W Society of Sound, back when it was a thing. How I miss it. Luckily this is on Qobuz too.

I heard Daniel Hope recording on DG and Hope again live with the same recomposed version (coupled with real Four Seasons)... Not for me...
