Life Goes On Records present a reissue of the Herbie Mann Nonet's Flute, Brass, Vibes & Percussion, originally released in 1961. In 1959, flutist Herbie Mann put together a very interesting band that was in its 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. Personnel: Herbie Mann (flute, bass clarinet); Johnny Rae (vibes); Nabil Knobby Totah (bass); Rudy Collins (drums); Ray Mantilla (conga drums); Ray Barretto (bongos); Plus, trumpet section: Doc Cheatham, Siggy Schatz, Jerome Kail, and Leo Ball. Recorded in New York City, 1959.
