Herbie Mann & Sam Most • The Herbie Mann & Sam Most Quintet

Review by Scott Yanow

This early Herbie Mann set matches him with his fellow flutist, Sam Most. (Originally, this date was known as The Mann with the Most.) Recorded back during Mann's bebop period, the set teams the two flutists with guitarist Joe Puma, bassist Jimmy Gannon, and drummer Lee Kleinman. The quintet performs nine standards plus an original apiece from Most and Puma. Highlights include "Fascinating Rhythm," "Let's Get Away from It All," and "Seven Come Eleven." Most was actually the better known of the two flutists at the time but, while he ended up in the Los Angeles studios, Mann's constant musical curiosity would result in him gaining worldwide fame. Their enjoyable music finds the flutists battling it out to a draw.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

Este primer set de Herbie Mann lo empareja con su compañero flautista, Sam Most. (Originalmente, esta fecha se conocía como The Mann with the Most.) Grabado durante el período de bebop de Mann, el conjunto reúne a los dos flautistas con el guitarrista Joe Puma, el bajista Jimmy Gannon y el baterista Lee Kleinman. El quinteto interpreta nueve estándares más un original de Most y Puma. Lo más destacado incluye "Fascinating Rhythm", "Let's Get Away from It All" y "Seven Come Eleven". En realidad, la mayoría era el más conocido de los dos flautistas de la época, pero, aunque terminó en los estudios de Los Ángeles, la constante curiosidad musical de Mann lo llevó a adquirir fama mundial. Su agradable música encuentra a los flautistas luchando hasta el empate.
