I am 55 years old. I started playing the flute in 5th grade and Jammed. In 7th grade... the school people told me there is no Jazz flute in the Jazz band. I have to go to orchestra. NO!!!!!!!!!! At 55 years old...... I wish I didn't give up. Shit! Retirement is coming...Let's Get this!!!!!!!!
Please find one and begin again! It's hardly "too late" to get back to jamming, & I'm certain, whether playing along with recorded music (there's thousands of backing tracks on RUclips), or finding others to get together and play with, your retirement years will greatly enhanced! I've always been saddened to hear of people who played throughout childhood, even college, only to put it down, and wrongly believe, "it's too late now", go for it!!
I’m a flute player and Herbie is the reason for that. It was Live At The Village Gate. Where I met the soul of this masterful artist. I was touched by the emotional packed content of the notes that preceded frim his flute. Joyfully Inspired I started my journey. He’s my hero!
Herbie Mann Returns to the Village Gate was one of my first two record albums back in about '65 or so. The other was Bird n Diz with Thelonious Monk on piano. I played flute in high school and my parents thought I would like it. I was about 13 or 14 and those two albums are still among my favorites. Now I have both Village Gate albums and the Charlie Parker on cd and itunes.
Flute is beautiful instrument. I’m learning it. Herbie Mann on RUclips is such a wonderful way to be aware of the intricacies of flute playing, thank you.
Stopped by cannery row in Monterey and to my delight discovered Herbie was preforming solo Had the opportunity to chat with him for awhile while he was taking a break Very nice man I enjoyed the conversation
Interesting! What kind of presentation was his solo show? Did he play without any backing tracks, was he walking around, or up on the stage? I've never seen or heard any of his work, completely solo. I'll have to search around and see if I can find any.
He's become one of my all time favorite musicians. I don't even remember what it was that made me start listening in the first place but jeez what a talent. I never get tired of his music
Saw Herbie at Pine Knob in Clarkston, MI, I believe 1975. His 'Family of Mann' got held up at the airport, so he came out and played the first set solo. I was close enough to the stage to hear his foot tapping out the beat, and it was one of the best hours of popular jazz I ever witnessed!
Definitely those two (first heard Horn's Taj Mahal album, before hearing his Jazz works), as well as Tim Weisberg's early albums, & before them all, the first flute playing I heard was Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), and Johnny Almond (Mark/Almond Band), & also Chris Wood's flute & sax work with Traffic....
Thank you so much for posting this. Just a wonderful concert full of great music. To see it for free and so many years later is just a blessing of modern life!
I saw herbie mann at the 7 Springs Jazz Festival when I was a senior in high school or a freshman in college. I inherited a collection rich in herbie man albums. I'm thinking about selling that collection... maybe not. That man and a woman album... push push... there are so many. This concert was a pleasure. thank you!!!
Danke for the upload/ almost forgotten about Herbie Mann/ its been a long , long time. Maybe around the late 60s?, wow / my friend Uli turned me on to that kind. Danke Uli and see you soon. Peace/ love & Gesundheit.
herbie was one of best if not the best this performance of the band and herbie proves it the thing about h.m he played everything a to z. and played with everyone keeping it nu and fresh thanks for the memories and sound herbie Mann r.i.p.
The song played at 20:14 is called "Gold Rush" from the album Astral Island released in 1983. They played it at a much quicker tempo in this video than on the album which made it hard for me to recognize at first, but on second listening I realized what it was! I figured I would let you know so you can timestamp it. Thanks for posting this, I adore Herbie Mann.
Hello Zeg, thank you so much for your comment: 'Gold Rush'. This closes the gap! Yes, Herbie Mann was fantastic. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed this show.
I don't like it he pretends sounding with a dirty and airy intention... like a student who never learned to get a good sound. I mean i like playing dirty i do it too... but it's too much. If he wouldn't microphonate his flute it would sound horrible...
@@jorgemartin5093 Listen to The Gentler Side Of Herbie Mann:- If, What's Going On, Never Can Say Goodbye, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Claudia's Pie - - - among others Be that as it may, I get your drift; Mann could have been anything, style wise. Lohvissimo!
Very unusual seeing him playing with a pick-up on his flute. I got to hang with him some years back, and he said he doesn't like to use them, preferring to utilize the dynamics of being closer or further away from a mic. But I can see he arrived at that decision after first exploring using a pick-up (as I did back around that time, as well). This is a great recording, and I love his use of a percussionist in lieu of a trap drummer, something I also did back then, and off & on throughout the years...
Sweet story and another day in Germany. Glad I have music or glad we have music. I have not listen to Herbie M. for some time>> long time. Its like some memory taking me back and cant put it down. Peace/ love & Gesundheit.
@@yuzexue5808 Sorry, I don't. You may be able to find that out, by going to his website, or just put that question to Google. Now I'm curious about that as well, and will also see if I can find the answer...
La flauta es normal, pero tiene un micrófono que reemplaza el tornillo de corcho. También hay que se fijan a la boquilla como los Barcus Barry, Shure y otras marcas. Busca Flute Microphone. La otra cosa es que tiene un poco de reverb para darle espacio al sonido, posiblemente un compresor también.
He's not underrated and he's not that good. Now, Dave Valentin, that's a flautist! I've played flute for years and believe me, Mann is not great but, Valentin is. Valentin is sharper, quicker, stronger. No one in Latin jazz does a triple tongue with such sharp speed as Valentin. Valentin is a ten, Mann is an eight.
@@tradehead Really? Speed and technical virtuosity are hardly the only components of "greatness". Dave was a great player, as was Herbie, to make a big deal about "who's better" is petty, & especially as a player yourself, you should understand that once a player is at a certain level of playing, it's just about whether you like hearing one cat more than another. It's like saying who's "better", Trane, Dexter, Getz, or Grover... there's no answer. IMHO, if a musician reaches & touches & connects with listeners, that's all that matters. And Herbie certainly did that, as well as being innovative, his collaborations & explorations of many genres certainly expanded the appeal of flute playing.
Herbie was a perplexing cat: he recorded album after album of commercial soul/funk with disco touches - but also hired Sonny Sharrock as his guitarist.
"Posture" only matters in band and orchestra and to learning students. When you're a master of the instrument it doesn't mean anything. He could probably play the flute lying on the ground under a blanket and still sound great.
THERE IS NOT DOUBT THE LAWS FAMILY ARE BLESSED WITH MUSICAL TALENT. MAYBE HERBIE MAÑN MASTERED THE COMMERICAL MARKET AND UNDERSTOOD THE BUSINESS TO HIS ADVANTAGE. I THINK HE INFLUENCED MY BROTHERS. THEY SAY MY OLDEST BROTHER WOULD BE HEARD IN RITTENHOUSE SQUARE IN PHILAELPHIA., PA. I REMEMBER WHEN MY YOUNGER BROTHER BOUGHT THE 'PUSH. PUSH' ALBUM. HE SITTING AT THE DINING ROOM TABLE AND ME WATCHING HIM SITTING ON MY MOTHER'S COACH ON STOCKTON RD. IN GERMANTOWN. PHILADELPHIA, PA. I MISS MY BROTHERS. MAY ALLAH BLESS THEIR GOOD EFFORTS AND EXPAND THEIR GRAVES❤❤❤❤❤

Volte a estudar sua flauta e chegará ao seu sonho.

My Husband R.I.P. enjoyed his Music.
Intimacy with a flute😊
Do you know what brand of flute he uses?
Herbie. The. Greatest Jazz. Flue Muscian. That. Ever. Lived. I. Was. 32. Years. Old. Then.
40. Years. Later. A. Legend. Of. All. Times
Flute is beautiful instrument. I’m learning it. Herbie Mann on RUclips is such a wonderful way to be aware of the intricacies of flute playing, thank you.
Stopped by cannery row in Monterey and to my delight discovered Herbie was preforming solo
Had the opportunity to chat with him for awhile while he was taking a break
Very nice man I enjoyed the conversation
Been to Cannery Row so many times, but never got that lucky. That must have been such a pleasant experience.
Interesting! What kind of presentation was his solo show? Did he play without any backing tracks, was he walking around, or up on the stage? I've never seen or heard any of his work, completely solo. I'll have to search around and see if I can find any.
Herbie brought this very act to Tel Aviv in '82. Been there, seen that. It was GREAT. Once in a lifetime. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS GEM.
He's become one of my all time favorite musicians. I don't even remember what it was that made me start listening in the first place but jeez what a talent. I never get tired of his music
I got into him when he opened for Stanley Jordan at RIT,for$3😅

Detroit?
@@Yestradamus- Maybe 45m north of the city.
A great place Pine Knob, Country Club, well to do people, educated, beautiful women, and superb music.
Herbie and Paul Horn are the reasons I started the silver tube.Ha -ha!! It's 40 years later.
Two of my all time favorite flutist
And don't forget one of the greatest flutist of all time. Dave Valentine.
There's an album out called 2 amigos with Herby Mann and Dave Valentine. A classic.
Definitely those two (first heard Horn's Taj Mahal album, before hearing his Jazz works), as well as Tim Weisberg's early albums, & before them all, the first flute playing I heard was Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), and Johnny Almond (Mark/Almond Band), & also Chris Wood's flute & sax work with Traffic....

Mann is always an inspiration. Undying beauty.
Lou Volpe is an amazing guitarist with very unique sound!
Absolute Master
50年ぶりに聞きました嬉しいです、
❤ thanks for sharing 😊
Followed him for years. One of the greatest jazz and Latin flutist ever
Herbie Mann es uno de los verdaderos Grandes del Jazz. Gracias por compartir este video.

¡Qué excelente música!... Gracias por compartirla
Didn't hear the bass for real until the 25 minute mark. Killer musician all of them, awesome!
Holy COW !!! - Lou Volpe = The "Man" with Mann ! TYVM. Also the Bass Player is doing Chapman Stick - like things at times.
Man - would‘ve loved to see him and em live!
Met herby a few timed. At villagegate. U must get the greatest cd. Herbie and in my opinion the best latin jazz flutist ever DAVE VALENTINE
Saw Herbie early 70's in Boston at the Jazz Workshop and Paul's Mall sometime later
Mann is the Man!
I get elastic funk vibes . I love this as I love making diy flutes and playing the bongo. There's a root note for even my hobbies!
the Best music
Krásna muzika.
Eine Wahnsinns Formation. The one and only Percussionist Bobby Thomas jr.
The Flute of the Room.
27:59 Nature Boy. One of the most soulful flute players of all time. Yeah? Say Yeah!
Yeah, thank you TurtleSpirit! Of course; eden ahbez' immortal song!

What is a pick-up?
@@Clara_Elena It's a tiny mic attached to one's flute, instead of playing into a mic, on a stand.

Thank you Frischotstew
Muito Bom.
The great Herbie.Love his bands.
Это шедевр класс!!!
Check out his album at the village gate. Fantastic.
I saw him in Whichita in about 86/88 in the bamk of the arKANSAS river. Trully enchanting. 😘
I was at the same show, it was Airto the percussionist day view, a great concert.
Небесный воздыхатель! Умница
Awesome
herbie the man
oh i had recorded this to vhs years ago so :) to hear this concert again
SO COOL THANKS
👏🏾👏🏾
Wounderful...yeah.
I FORGOT THAT HERBIE MAÑN AND HIS GUITAR PLAYER(S) WENT HAND-IN-HAND. THIS IS REALLY A TREAT!!!!!
He da man
Mr Jazz Impresario his doggone badself Mr Herbie Mann! Doggone it!
1940年代のジヤズキッサの全盛期を思い出しましたので。
Como se hace ese efecto de percusion, alguien me enseña.
el mas perrón aquí :)
Demais.
Herbie's playing is just so tasty.
Bom
Could anybody tell me how is his flute microphoned? Why is there a cable coming out of the crown?
Maybe more space for so solid personality and sound of the guitarist
Me pregunto donde se podrá conseguir esas flautas electroacusticas
La flauta es normal, pero tiene un micrófono que reemplaza el tornillo de corcho. También hay que se fijan a la boquilla como los Barcus Barry, Shure y otras marcas. Busca Flute Microphone.
La otra cosa es que tiene un poco de reverb para darle espacio al sonido, posiblemente un compresor también.
@@felipejaramillo124 nunca he visto algún modelo así que se enganche al corcho, solo he visto las que se ponen con un soporte de plastoco
@@miguelcorona5565 Tomasi Microcork es un ejemplo. ¡Son caros!
@@felipejaramillo124 gracias por el dato, el precio me parece bien tomando en cuenta que como flautistas todo nos sale caro
They didn’t do battle of the hymn republic?
An unbelievable flautist, highly underrated. Check out his cd on CTI)A&M "The Glory of Love"!
He's not underrated and he's not that good. Now, Dave Valentin, that's a flautist! I've played flute for years and believe me, Mann is not great but, Valentin is.

25:37 cool bass technique, practically turning it into a Chapman Stick.
As a maker of pentatonic flutes from natural things, his vibes are easy for “jamming along”. Grab the right key flute.
48:30 herbie some kind of timide beatboxing
Why do the guitars sound so " Tinny "?????
From a mad keen Herbie Mann 77yo Aussie fan.
Herbie was a perplexing cat: he recorded album after album of commercial soul/funk with disco touches - but also hired Sonny Sharrock as his guitarist.
I know ur comment was 5 mos ago but...I don't think perplexing. He probably just needed the money and was riding the wave. The fam's gotta eat!
olo
I DON'T LIKE THAT 'UNDERATED CRITICISM.. THAT TAKES AWAY FROM THE SACRIFICES AND THE WORK PUT IN BY OUR MUSICAL LEADERS.....
Really bad posture. But he is a genius musician !
"Posture" only matters in band and orchestra and to learning students. When you're a master of the instrument it doesn't mean anything. He could probably play the flute lying on the ground under a blanket and still sound great.
Yeah was thinking the same. How to screw your neck and shoulder.
I play flute. He knows something we don't. But ma, that flute never leaves his lips!
Jazz is about grooves, ideas and licks. No needs to apply classical fundamental. He is using microphone anyways.
Herbie is an excellent flautist but he doesn't live up to the standard set by Hubert Laws.
King of the "faux" cool. A poor man's Jeremy Steig. Sorry, dudes.
I beg to differ. Two different styles. Can't take anything away from Herbie.
Focal loco .... comparison is the thief of joy. I love both Herbie and Jeremy each with their own style and timeless beauty.
DO WE LIKE JETHRO TULL? I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS HANDSOME IN A DARK SORT OF WAY.
THERE IS NOT DOUBT THE LAWS FAMILY ARE BLESSED WITH MUSICAL TALENT. MAYBE HERBIE MAÑN MASTERED THE COMMERICAL MARKET AND UNDERSTOOD THE BUSINESS TO HIS ADVANTAGE. I THINK HE INFLUENCED MY BROTHERS.
