'?Comin? Home Baby' ? that?s how the LP begins and
that?s what catapulted it right into the charts.
Not to one of the top places, but from this time
on Herbie Mann was one of the superstars in
Atlantic?s collection of jazz musicians. He was
known as 'our man with the flute', and the critics
in the early Sixties were full of praise for him.
He became even more famous, and probably richer,
through soundtracks and later on sometimes rather
commercialised productions. Well, good for him.
'The Man' serves up jazz pure on this recording,
made live at the legendary Village Gate club,
which is no wonder considering the rhythm group
that includes Ahmad Abdul-Malik and Rudy Collins.
The composer of 'Comin? Home Baby', Ben Tucker,
also makes an appearance as a guest soloist before
the two Gershwin numbers from 'Porgy And Bess'
offer a wealth of rhythm pure. On the cover text
of the LP, Willis Conover, who hosted the Newport
Jazz Festival as a sideline (older jazz fans will
know his baritone voice from AFN broadcasts),
describes in detail the ethnic background of the
musicians who come from all over the world ? from
Romania to Puerto Rico. The three numbers are by
no means commonplace. Perhaps a tasty flute
cocktail would be a good description. This true
rarity from Atlantic?s treasure trove in the early
Sixties has long been marked down on the wish
list of many fans and at long last it?s available
again.
