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!!!!!!!!

[@StevenCharlesJazz]

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 KZbin), 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!!

@@StevenCharlesJazz despite that was the age of great jazz flutists like herbie and hubert laws or jeremy steig... draw the conclusion

[@rickeywashington7924]

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!

[@mangalarobertwatling9168]

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.

[@MarkAGroh]

Two of my all time favorite flutist

[@rjcrjc8025]

And don't forget one of the greatest flutist of all time. Dave Valentine.

[@rjcrjc8025]

There's an album out called 2 amigos with Herby Mann and Dave Valentine. A classic.

[@StevenCharlesJazz]

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....

[@secondvisions9759]

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

[@4Naturalgreen]

Been to Cannery Row so many times, but never got that lucky. That must have been such a pleasant experience.

[@StevenCharlesJazz]

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.

[@numi404]

Lou Volpe is an amazing guitarist with very unique sound!

[@WalldoTheWInner]

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

[@danielosullivan3110]

I got into him when he opened for Stanley Jordan at RIT,for$3😅

[@claritydreamsleeves541]

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!

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 was at the same show, it was Airto the percussionist day view, a great concert.

[@zeg197]

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.

[@friscohotstew]

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.

[@ti08287]

oh i had recorded this to vhs years ago so :) to hear this concert again

[@johnrussojr.8175]

Check out his album at the village gate. Fantastic.

[@StevenCharlesJazz]

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...

[@christophlieding734]

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.

[@Clara_Elena]

What is a pick-up?

[@StevenCharlesJazz]

@@Clara_Elena It's a tiny mic attached to one's flute, instead of playing into a mic, on a stand.

[@yuzexue5808]

Do you know what brand of flute he uses?

[@StevenCharlesJazz]

@@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...

[@Unixilandia]

An unbelievable flautist, highly underrated. Check out his cd on CTI)A&M "The Glory of Love"!

[@StevenCharlesJazz]

@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.

[@hernanecheverria6123]

Maybe more space for so solid personality and sound of the guitarist

[@azenethdelrosariogonzalezm7984]

48:30 herbie some kind of timide beatboxing

[@gurgisjones1120]

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.

Why do the guitars sound so " Tinny "????? From a mad keen Herbie Mann 77yo Aussie fan.

[@Prousto]

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.

[@lambchop1]

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!

[@miguelcorona5565]

Me pregunto donde se podrá conseguir esas flautas electroacusticas

[@felipejaramillo124]

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.

Really bad posture. But he is a genius musician !

[@phillipcrews9377]

"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.

[@adambrickley1119]

Yeah was thinking the same. How to screw your neck and shoulder.

Jazz is about grooves, ideas and licks. No needs to apply classical fundamental. He is using microphone anyways.
