Flutist Herbie Mann is backed by a large rhythm section and a small horn section on this Creed Taylor-produced A&M set (which has been reissued on CD). Actually the most interesting aspect of the R&B-oriented date (which includes such songs as &Hold on, I'm Comin',& &House of the Risin' Sun& and &Unchain My Heart&) is that the up-and-coming flutist Hubert Laws is matched with Mann on several tracks.
