Herbie Mann • New Mann At Newport [1966]

 

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
A follow-up to his well-received Standing Ovation at Newport from 1965, this set features the popular flutist at the 1966 Festival (except for "All Blues," which is from four months earlier) jamming some heated grooves with trumpeter Jimmy Owens, trombonists Joe Orange and Jack Hitchcock, bassist Reggie Workman, drummer Bruno Carr and percussionist Patato Valdes. The material is stronger than was often the case on Mann's albums from this period, with Jimmy Heath's "Project S," Wayne Henderson's "Scratch" and "All Blues" being among the high points. Herbie Mann's 1960s recordings, which are generally superior to what he would be playing a decade later, tend to be underrated because he had become quite popular. This fine date is worth searching for.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Una continuación de su bien recibido Standing Ovation at Newport de 1965, este set presenta al popular flautista en el Festival de 1966 (excepto "All Blues", que es de cuatro meses antes) improvisando algunos ritmos calientes con el trompetista Jimmy Owens, los trombonistas Joe Orange y Jack Hitchcock, el bajista Reggie Workman, el batería Bruno Carr y el percusionista Patato Valdés. El material es más sólido de lo que solía ser el caso en los álbumes de Mann de este periodo, con "Project S" de Jimmy Heath, "Scratch" de Wayne Henderson y "All Blues" entre los puntos álgidos. Las grabaciones de Herbie Mann de la década de 1960, que en general son superiores a lo que tocaría una década más tarde, tienden a ser infravaloradas porque se había hecho bastante popular. Merece la pena buscar esta buena cita.
