Review
by Scott Yanow
To celebrate his 65th birthday, the influential flutist Herbie Mann played for a week at the Blue Note in New York, along with some of his favorite musicians. Among the many guests on this CD are such notables as trumpeters Claudio Roditi and Randy Brecker, altoists David "Fathead" Newman, Paquito D'Rivera and Bobby Watson, fellow flutist Dave Valentin, Tito Puente on timbales and several rhythm sections. Alternating between Brazilian music, vintage funk jazz (such as "Memphis Underground"), a catchy boogaloo blues ("Dippermouth") and a few straight-ahead tracks ("Au Privave" and "Jeep's Blues"), the flutist sounds as if he had a great time. The diverse music is consistently infectious and joyful, with all eight selections well worth hearing. Highly recommended.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Para celebrar su 65 cumpleaños, el influyente flautista Herbie Mann tocó durante una semana en el Blue Note de Nueva York, junto a algunos de sus músicos favoritos. Entre los numerosos invitados de este CD se encuentran figuras tan notables como los trompetistas Claudio Roditi y Randy Brecker, los contraltos David "Fathead" Newman, Paquito D'Rivera y Bobby Watson, el también flautista Dave Valentin, Tito Puente a los timbales y varias secciones rítmicas. Alternando entre música brasileña, funk jazz vintage (como "Memphis Underground"), un pegadizo boogaloo blues ("Dippermouth") y algunos temas directos ("Au Privave" y "Jeep's Blues"), el flautista suena como si se lo hubiera pasado en grande. La diversidad de la música es siempre contagiosa y alegre, y merece la pena escuchar las ocho selecciones. Muy recomendable.
