In 1960, flutist
Herbie Mann
put together a very interesting band that was in its brief existence (before
Mann
's interests shifted elsewhere) one of the top in Afro-Cuban jazz. Utilizing four trumpets (including
Doc Cheatham
), up to three percussionists and a flute-vibes-bass-drums quartet,
performs four standards (including
"Dearly Beloved,"
"I'll Remember April"
and
"Autumn Leaves"
) and two originals in a style that was beyond bop and much more African- and Cuban-oriented. This LP (long deserving of being reissued on CD) is quite underrated and is one of the finest of
's long career. ~ Scott Yanow
