Blatantly stolen from Marc Manley over at The Manrilla Blog:
"From a small, self-published book entitled Something Else, jazz legend Yusef Lateef published an engaging book back in 1973. Yusef, who is known as a master multi-instrumentalist, is also a gifted writer, producing everything from short plays, essays, and poetry [as in this installment]. I have been putting segments of the book up on line. Here's the newest addition for your reading pleasure: http://www.manrilla.net/blog/reflections/
For more of Something Else, just visit the Blog and see the links under "Reads" on the right-hand side.
Enjoy"
