This is a sneaky one. Probably because Herbie Mann was under contract to Atlantic at the time, producer Creed Taylor completely omits Mann's name on the jacket and liner (A&M's Glory Of Love, by contrast, was put out as a Mann LP) and put this out under the pseudonym "Soul Flutes." The liner notes obliquely refer to a mysterious headliner known only as the Fluteman, but it's easy to tell that Mann is the flutist on this LP, backed now and then by a small choir of two to four "ghost" flutes. At any rate, it's a pretty good series of sessions, with Don Sebesky scoring subtly for the flute ensemble, Eric Gale adding his distinctive rhythm and solo guitar, and the usual A&M/CTI rhythm section of Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Grady Tate providing impeccable support. The tracks are short, made for airplay (some were actually heard on the air), best when translating calypso ("Day-O"), creating a golden mellow vision of "Early Autumn," or doing a rollicking turn on a country & western tune "Buckaroo" (though it fades out just as Herbie really gets rolling). Maybe one day, A&M's current custodians at PolyGram will see fit to re-release this music under its headliner's rightful name.
