A monumental example of innovative jazz live performance that blends different cultures.
A classic live album by Herbie Mann, a leading figure in flute jazz.
Recorded at the legendary Village Gate club in New York, this ambitious album fuses a variety of rhythms, including Latin, Afro-Cuban, and blues.
