Kudu, named for an
African mammal with long spiked horns, was designed by Creed Taylor to compete with the
"soul-jazz" recordings released on Prestige and Atlantic in the late 60s and early 70s. In fact,
Taylor ended up recruiting many of the artists from those two labels for Kudu. These
recordings, some of the most important in the CTI catalog, were made between 1971 and
1978.
