Herbie Mann

It's almost six years since Herbie Mann died (16 Apr 1930 - 1 July 2003). His real name was Herbert Jay Solomon but as Herbie Mann, he was known the world over as an American jazz flautist and practitioner of world music.

Here are the three Herbie Mann records in my possession. It's a pity, though, that I do not own his Memphis Underground. I would have loved that one but I missed out on it...

BTW, this record is labelled as Side A and Side One. There's no Side B or Side Two

He's not on my favourites list as of all the wind instuments, only the saxophone appeals to me. I'm more in love with strings and the human voice.having said that,I like his music style.
