Our Take

Herbie Mann's America/Brasil album is a jazzy rollercoaster ride that takes you from the heart of New York City to the beaches of Rio de Janeiro without even breaking a sweat. With its fusion of Brazilian rhythms and American jazz, this record is like a musical passport that transports you to a whole new world of grooves and melodies.

From the funky beats of "Cajun Moon" to the smooth bossa nova vibes of "Desire," every track on this album is a sonic journey that will have you dancing in your seat. Mann's flute skills are on full display here, weaving in and out of the music like a musical wizard casting spells with every note.

The collaboration between American and Brazilian musicians on this album is seamless, creating a vibrant and eclectic sound that is truly unique. It's like a musical love letter to both cultures, celebrating the best of what each has to offer.

So if you're in the mood for a musical adventure that will transport you to faraway lands without ever leaving your living room, then Herbie Mann's America/Brasil is the perfect album for you. Just sit back, relax, and let the music take you on a journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to Mann for bridging the gap between two worlds and creating a soundtrack that is both funky and soulful.
