Title: You da mann!
Product review: Not essential, but interesting if you are a Mann fan. Yes, the fidelity is not equal to the most modern recording techniques. But, hey, history is here,these are recordings from 1956-57. Half of the cd features the great big band-Latin jazz of the Machito orchestra. They were a great band, full of great big band jazz musicians, and Herbie is not ultra featured but Man o Mann these cats wail! The other half of the recording features the west coast cool jazz of Jimmy Rowles on piano, Mel Lewis on drums, Buddy Clark bass and Herbie playing duos with the terrific Buddy Collete and both play not only flute but clarinet and alto and tenor sax! Cool baby! Please note-research the sellers. You can find some selling this one for $3-5, so don't grab one selling at $20 or more. Also, check to make sure you get the cd that features all 20 tunes, some of these are bogus offerings of only 8-10 entrees. Solid!
