Late is an album by the American clarinetist Alvin Batiste, released in 1993.[2][3] Issued as part of Columbia Records' "Legendary Pioneers of Jazz" series, it was Batiste's first album for a major label.[4][5]
The album was produced by Batiste.[6] He led Kenny Barron on piano, Rufus Reid on bass, and Herman Jackson on drums.[7] Batiste wrote six of the album's eight songs.[8] "Banjo Noir" was inspired by a Creole folk song from the 1800s.[9] "Ray's Segue" is based on a melody that Ray Charles would play.[10] "Imp and Perry" is based on John Coltrane's "Countdown".[11] Wessell Anderson played saxophone on "Body and Soul".[12]
