Grammy-winning musician Yusef Lateef, a multi-instrumentalist known for fusing jazz and Eastern music, played in bands with Dizzy Gillespie and Charles Mingus and gained a global following as one of the first to incorporate world music into jazz. In 1987 he won a Grammy for best new age performance for Little Symphony, on which he played all the instruments. Lateef had battled prostate cancer and died at his home in 2013 in Shutesbury, Massachusetts. He was 93. - BBC
