Herbie Mann • Right Now LP



Review by Alex Henderson
Herbie Mann spent much of his career at Atlantic, which he signed with in the early 1960s and recorded for until 1985. The flutist provided a very wide variety of music during his long stay at Atlantic; this rewarding 1962 LP found him combining bop with various forms of world music. Mann has long been famous for his love of Brazilian music, and that interest serves him well on the charming "Borquinho" and Luiz Bonfa's "Manha de Carnaval," as well as two Antonio Carlos Jobim pieces: "Desafinado" (a major hit for Stan Getz in the early 1960s) and "Meditation." But Mann goes for more of an Afro-Cuban flavor on his exuberant "Free for All" and Lester Young's "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid," and he successfully incorporates elements of Jewish and Middle Eastern music on the moody "Challil." Now for the bad news: like so many of Mann's Atlantic dates, Right Now has long been out of print and has yet to be reissued on CD.

Reseña de Alex Henderson
Herbie Mann pasó gran parte de su carrera en Atlantic, con la que firmó a principios de los 60 y para la que grabó hasta 1985. El flautista ofreció una gran variedad de música durante su larga estancia en Atlantic; este gratificante LP de 1962 le encontró combinando el bop con diversas formas de música del mundo. Mann fue famoso durante mucho tiempo por su amor a la música brasileña, y ese interés le sirve bien en el encantador "Borquinho" y en "Manha de Carnaval" de Luiz Bonfa, así como en dos piezas de Antonio Carlos Jobim: "Desafinado" (un gran éxito de Stan Getz a principios de los 60) y "Meditation". Pero Mann se decanta más por el sabor afrocubano en su exuberante "Free for All" y en "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid" de Lester Young, e incorpora con éxito elementos de la música judía y de Oriente Medio en la taciturna "Challil". Ahora las malas noticias: como muchas de las citas atlánticas de Mann, Right Now lleva mucho tiempo descatalogado y aún no se ha reeditado en CD.
