Personnel: Herbie Mann (flute); John Hitchcock, Mark Weinstein (trombone); Dave Pike (vibraphone); Chick Corea (piano); Earl May (bass); Bruno Carr (drums); Carlos "Patato" Valdes (congas).
Five years on from his career-defining live set AT THE VILLAGE GATE, flautist Herbie Mann returned to that Greenwich Village venue to record a follow-up with a different lineup--now featuring future superstar Chick Corea on piano--and a subtly different sound.
Mann's music was still based on the Latin jazz that he had spent years exploring, but rather than the frenetic beats of Afro-Cuban music or samba, the rhythmic pulse of these five tracks is decidedly more laid-back.

 CD Review of Herbie Mann / Phil Woods - Beyond Brooklyn on MCG Records @ jazzreview.com
Almost fifty years ago, Herbie Mann and Phil Woods began playing together at a joint called Tony's Bar in Brooklyn, at a regular jam session, where the pay, if they played well, was a bowl of pasta and a glass of wine.
With Mann's passing in the Spring of that year this will be their last meeting, indeed, this was to be Herbie's last session.
Recorded just weeks before Herbie's passing, as a kind of afterthought at a tape mixing session, and dedicated to his wife Janeal who had stood by him through six years of illness, it is as touching and poignant as any 4 minutes and 28 seconds of music can be.

 Herbie Mann
Almost single-handedly responsible for establishing the flute as a lead instrument in the field of jazz, Herbie Mann's original instrument was the clarinet, taken up in 1939 after seeing a concert by Benny Goodman and his orchestra.
After enlisting in the Army, Mann spent four years stationed in Italy playing with a military band; during this period his focus remained on tenor sax, but by the time of his discharge and return to New York, he began to recognize that the field for that particular instrument was getting overcrowded.
An opening for a jazz flautist in 1953 presented a new direction for him to take, and with Mann largely having to invent a new playing style from scratch, the stage was set for his rise to fame.
