Album Reggae by Herbie Mann Review
Despite its title, most of the music on this album is not actually reggae but a mixture of jazz, R&B and pop. Flutist Herbie Mann, guitarists Mick Taylor and Albert Lee and keyboardist Pat Rebillot combine with the eight-piece Tommy McCook band to create some spirited and danceable (if a bit dated) music. Together they jam on The Beatles' "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da", the traditional "Rivers of Babylon", Moe Koffman's old hit "Swingin' Shepherd Blues" and an 18-minute version of "My Girl". The results are fun if not all that substantial.Review by allmusic.com
