Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recording in the UK, American flutist Herbie Mann teams up with an incredible cast of British rock legends including Mick Taylor, Albert Lee, and Aynsley Dunbar. The album is a wonderfully loose, highly melodic jam session, blending smooth jazz-pop phrasing with gritty, blues-inflected rock instrumentation.
