What happens when you put the key to the music archive in the hand of an omniscient man like Gilles Peterson? Warner wanted to find out – and had one of the coolest flute-funk-and-blaxploitation discs of the Woodstock summer lifted with »Yusef Lateef’s Detroit: Latitude 42º 30′ Longitude 83º«. Released in 1969, the Lateef record sounds as fresh as jazz from the cold store half a century later. No wonder MF Doom already extended the tone arm 25 years ago.
