Herbie Mann • Monday Night at The Village Gate

AllMusic Review

Five years on from his career-defining live set AT THE VILLAGE GATE, flautist Herbie Mann returned to that Greenwich Village venue to record a follow-up with a different lineup--now featuring future superstar Chick Corea on piano--and a subtly different sound. Mann's music was still based on the Latin jazz that he had spent years exploring, but rather than the frenetic beats of Afro-Cuban music or samba, the rhythmic pulse of these five tracks is decidedly more laid-back. On the centerpiece eight-minute rendition of the gospel standard "Motherless Child," the vibe is straight-up soul jazz, complete with some bluesy comping by Corea and a long, mellow flute solo by Mann. The rest of the album picks up the tempo, most notably on Arif Mardin's "The Young Turks," but there's still a looser, more flexible sense of rhythm on MONDAY NIGHT AT THE VILLAGE GATE than on its better-known predecessor, one that hints at the full-on fusion of Mann's later career.

Revisión de AllMusic

Cinco años después de su carrera -definiendo el set en vivo en THE VILLAGE GATE, el flautista Herbie Mann regresó al Greenwich Village para grabar una continuación con una alineación diferente -ahora con la futura superestrella Chick Corea en el piano- y un sonido sutilmente diferente. La música de Mann seguía basándose en el jazz latino que había explorado durante años, pero en lugar de los frenéticos ritmos de la música afrocubana o la samba, el pulso rítmico de estos cinco temas es decididamente más relajado. En la pieza central, una interpretación de ocho minutos del estándar de gospel "Motherless Child", la vibración es de un directo jazz soul, con un compás de blues de Corea y un largo y suave solo de flauta de Mann. El resto del álbum recoge el tempo, sobre todo en "Los jóvenes turcos" de Arif Mardin, pero todavía hay un sentido del ritmo más flexible y suelto en MONDAY NIGHT AT THE VILLAGE GATE que en su predecesor más conocido, uno que insinúa la fusión completa de la carrera posterior de Mann.
