3.0 out of 5 stars Disco Mann, July 23, 2003

This review is from: Super Mann / Yellow Fever (Audio CD)

Both of these albums came out within two years of Herbie Mann's disassociation with Atlantic which began in 1960. While "Super Mann" is listed as being released in 1978, according to the liner notes "Yellow Fever" came out in 1972. I don't know who came up with this date but it is definitely false. I believe the correct year was 1979.

Be that as it may, the reason Herbie Mann left Atlantic was because he was being pressured to reproduce the kind of successful formula he had with the top 20 hit "Hijack" from 1974's recording "Discoteque." It would appear that "Super Mann" and "Yellow Fever" were the result of the afore-mentioned pressure. Taken at face value they are not bad disco albums. If you really like Herbie Mann and if you really like disco, then you'll probably like this two-CD set.
