Post Description

Herbie Mann played a wide variety of music throughout his career. He became quite popular in the 1960s, but in the '70s became so immersed in pop and various types of world music that he seemed lost to jazz. However, Mann never lost his ability to improvise creatively as his later recordings attest.

This CD represents another in the reissue/pairing of Herbie Mann "twofers." The first recording "The Family of Mann" is the second album Herbie Mann recorded after returning from Africa. Much of that influence is heard, especially on the second tune "Guinean" on which it sounds as though he's playing the shephard's flute. "The Puppet" features a horn section, again similar to much of the music on Herbie's first album for Atlantic "The Common Ground". Dave Pike plays the cool vibes on the jazzy, toe-tapping "Shein Vi Di Levone
