In the early 1980s, famed jazz saxophonist and musical luminary Yusef Lateef
traveled to Nigeria as a Senior Research Fellow to study, write, and teach at
the Centre For Nigerian Cultural Studies at Ahmadu Bello University. He cut this
record with students and local musicians while there; it only got a small local
press, and remained virtually unknown by jazz fans and collectors for over 30
years.

On Hikima, Lateef leads a nonet of African musicians in seven compositions that
fuse his deep blues and jazz roots with native Nigerian instruments, drums and
chants. The sounds stretch from meditative and melancholic to urgent and
unrelenting. A singular recording impossible to classify or box in.

"Lateefâ€™s Hikima is immediately wayward, frenetic, radical, the kind of
highlife you want to march to." - Yinka Elujoba
