Released in 1965, Psychicemotus captures Yusef Lateef in full exploratory mode, blending modal jazz, Eastern influence, and atmospheric woodwind textures with quiet authority. The album moves between meditative passages and sharper rhythmic ideas, showing Lateef’s skill as both improviser and conceptual thinker. With flute, oboe, tenor sax, and a deeply responsive rhythm section, the session has a searching, inward energy that still feels modern. The Verve by Request reissue presents the recording with excellent clarity and warmth.
