I came across this today while tagging the Tamiko Jones album. I downloaded the album from Qobuz, $10-ish, since a sealed LP is well over $20 and the Japan CD is much higher. (And I'm not buying five "near mint" LPs that play like garbage.)
I have to say that this album is a lot more lively and engaging than the Tamiko Jones A&M/CTi album, and was released the year prior. (It's no surprise both Mann and Jones ended up at A&M, having found this album.) The whole thing is good! Especially with Herbie and the band providing a Latin groove to it.
