Title: Herbie Mann returns to the Village Gate
Product review: Herbie Mann at the Village Gate was released as a 33 1/3 LP by Atlantic Rec. Corp. around 1962. It has been rated as one of his finest jazz recordings ever since and was issued in CD form by Warner Music in Japan where it has also been a long time favorite among the Japanese jazz fraternity. A conservative rating of this album would be a 9 out of 10.However on this scale "Herbie Mann Returns to the Village Gate" is a 1 out of 10, not one of the five tracks comes close to any of the three sublime numbers on the original. If you are tempted, do what I should have done first, listen to a selection of all tracks before you buy.
