Don Was & the Pan-Detroit Ensemble: Nubian Lady
Among the highlights of the album is their take on a piece by Kenny Barron, an artist linked to Detroit, not least through his work with a central figure in the city's jazz story: Yusef Lateef. The tune is "Nubian Lady," a Barron composition that Lateef recorded on his 1972 Atlantic album Gentle Giant—with Dave McMurray here picking up where Lateef's flute left off.
