Yusef Lateef

THE NATIONAL JAZZ MUSEUM IN HARLEM PRESENTS:
"JAZZ & THE CREATIVE INFLUENCE OF ISLAM:
LIVING LEGACY: DR YUSUF A LATEEF’S AUTOPHYSIOPSYCHIC MUSIC"
Join us for a conversation with LuFuki, Sister Ayesha Lateef, and Dr. Adam Zanolini on Dr. Yusef A Lateef’s Autophysiopsychic Music. Dr Yusuf A Lateef was not only a celebrated musician and composer but also an educator, author and visual artist. Dr Lateef developed the term and theory behind Autophysiopsychic Music, a form of music that comes from the mind, body and spirit. Though this work as well as his exploration of science fiction and afrofuturism have not been broadly studied, his legacy continues on through his family and musicians dedicated to exploring his methodology. This session explores the work being done to keep this legacy alive. (video on youtube.)
