Herbie Mann • The Family of Mann

Review by Scott Yanow

Herbie Mann's second in a long string of albums for Atlantic resulted in some slightly commercial but mostly enjoyable music. Two songs match the flutist with three strings and a Latin rhythm section, while three co-star vibraphonist Dave Pike with an expanded rhythm section; the remaining two tunes add four trumpets to the group. Best are renditions of "Moanin'" and Charlie Parker's "Au Privave," while "The Song of Delilah" is given a haunting treatment. Some of the other performances are more lightweight (including a truncated "Why Don't You Do Right"), making this out of print LP a bit of a mixed bag.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

El segundo de una larga serie de álbumes de Herbie Mann para Atlantic dio como resultado una música ligeramente comercial, pero sobre todo agradable. Dos canciones coinciden con el flautista con tres cuerdas y una sección rítmica latina, mientras que tres vibrafonistas coprotagonistas Dave Pike con una sección rítmica ampliada; los dos temas restantes añaden cuatro trompetas al grupo. Las mejores son las interpretaciones de "Moanin'" y "Au Privave" de Charlie Parker, mientras que "The Song of Delilah" recibe un tratamiento inolvidable. Algunas de las otras interpretaciones son más ligeras (incluyendo un truncado "Why Don't You Do Right"), lo que hace que este LP agotado sea un poco confuso.
