The Mann from Brooklyn goes Bossa Nova..., November 16, 2005
This review is from: Mann & Woman / Recorded in Rio De Janeiro (Audio CD)
Herbie Mann was a hip cat and he went were the music took him. In the mid sixties it took him and his flute to Brazil to embrace the samba sounds. This is a twofer from Collectibles; the original albums were released on Atlantic about a year apart. His recording with vocalist Tamiko Jones covers hits of the day, notably, the title tune (A Man and A Woman) from the French film of the same name. The other album is Mann's recording with Tom Jobim. Many of Jobim's tunes have been recorded by a whole host of artists, but in this set, it is Jobim singing and Mann playing. A fantastic CD, especially for those who love classic bossa nova.
