"Dr. Yusef Lateef may have great and valid objections to the usage of the term
"jazz" when it comes to discussing his music. The common vernacular, however,
has no terminology for being able to assimilate the music his gorgeous signature
creates. Metamorphosis is particularly difficult in terms of terminology because
other American musical genres scream out for inclusion in his tomes, such as
funk, soul, R&B, and, of course, the blues. But for the sake of honoring Dr.
Lateef's music and wishes for it, we will refrain from using those terms to
describe the music on Metamorphosis, which is an integrational, even visionary,
elongation of the path of American Black music as it enters into dialogue
rhythmically, melodically, and harmonically with the great traditions of the
East and of Africa in particular. This is one of the finer efforts on Dr.
Lateef's label. We can only hope for many more like it."
