Cry! – Tender is an album by multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef recorded in 1959 (with one track recorded in 1957) and released on the New Jazz label.
The Allmusic site awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Lateef was already moving away from what most people would call jazz by this time, yet, as evidenced here, his music remained challenging and very accessible. This is meditative music with a stunningly rich rhythmic palette for how muted and edgeless it is. And, like John Cage or Morton Feldman, the absence of those edges was written in; it's not random".
