The soul-jazz albums Yusef Lateef recorded for Atlantic between 1967 and 1976, of which The Doctor Is In…And Out is the tenth and final release, may prove to be among his most enduring releases. That suggestion will not chime with the sentiments of many of Lateef's longtime fans, who who dismiss the Atlantics as sell-outs and rate Lateef most highly for the hard bop / modal albums he released on Savoy, Riverside, Prestige and Impulse! before signing with Atlantic. But the fact remains that it is primarily the Atlantics which have been celebrated afresh during the 2010s and for which Lateef has been lionised by a new generation of enthusiasts. The Doctor Is In…And Out is a stonkingly good example of the series.
