The elegant flute creates a warm urban jazz vibe.
A mellow fusion album by jazz flutist Herbie Mann, featuring smooth grooves, soulful melodies, and a laid-back, urban sound.
Mann's flute dances lightly on this album, enveloped in a soft, urban atmosphere. The sweet melody of "Glory of Love" blends exquisitely with the smooth groove of the rhythm section. The steady rhythms of Steve Gadd and others add depth to the album, symbolizing the fusion sophistication of the late '70s. The influences of soul and Brazilian music also appear here and there, reaffirming Herbie Mann's expressive range. This is a high-quality crossover album, where lounge comfort and jazz-inspired improvisation coexist.
