Herbie Mann Herbie Mann At The Village Gate (180g Import Vinyl LP)

180g Vinyl LP Reissue Remastered Using Pure Analogue Components Only From the Master Tapes Through To the Cutting Head

Herbie Mann serves up jazz pure on this recording, made live at the legendary Village Gate club in 1961, which is no wonder considering the killer rhythm section that includes Ahmad Abdul-Malik and Rudy Collins. The composer of opener "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. 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 '60s has long been sought after by many fans and at long last it's available again on vinyl. This Speakers Corner 180g LP reissue was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head.
