Klassiker: HERBIE MANN - Memphis Underground (full Album stream)

Mit Herbie Mann und seinem Album „Memphis Underground“ rückte 1969 plötzlich die Flöte ins Blickfeld der populären Musik.
Das Rolling Stone Magazin wählte das Album 2013 in seiner Listeder 100 besten Jazz-Alben.

Herbie Mann has always been open to new trends in his music.
For this 1969 studio session, he and three other top soloists (vibraphonist Roy Ayers and guitarists Larry Coryell and Sonny Sharrock) went down to Memphis and combined their talents with a topnotch local rhythm section. The music effectively mixes R&B and country rhythms with the lead jazz voices, although the material, which includes „Memphis Underground,“ „Hold On! I’m Comin‘,“ and „Chain of Fools,“ is rather weak.
