"Vinyl LP pressing. In 1959, flutist Herbie Mann put together a very interesting band that was in it's brief existence (before Mann's interests shifted elsewhere) one of the top in Afro-Cuban jazz. Utilizing four trumpets (including Doc Cheatham), up to three percussionists and a flute-vibes-bass-drums quartet, Mann performs four standards (including ""Dearly Beloved,"" ""I'll Remember April"" and ""Autumn Leaves"") and two originals in a style that was beyond bop and much more African- and Cuban-oriented."
