Symphonic Tone Poem for Brother Yusef is an album by multi-instrumentalist Bennie Maupin and percussionist Adam Rudolph.
"[1] DownBeat's Joshua Myers called the album "a fitting tribute" to Lateef, and stated: "This complex palette offers space for an expressive engagement with intuition, moving where one is lead.
"[4] Writing for Jazzwise, Kevin Le Gendre remarked: "The breadth of experience Maupin and Rudolph have acquired... shows in all their judicious subtleties as well as vivid flourish, and the result is music that has the gravitas and solemnity that are entirely apt for a subject like the once in a lifetime Brother Yusef.
"[5] In an article for The New York City Jazz Record, Andrey Henkin wrote: "Maupin and Rudolph operate in a restrained, almost minimalistic approach, sedate on the surface like a still pond but teeming with life just below, as various instruments dart and float through one another.
"[7] Filipe Freitas of Jazz Trail stated: "This gifted duo never overcooks, finding the perfect formula to shine, with no need of frills and shocks to provide a wonderful experience for the listener.
