Herbie Mann - Memphis Underground flac album

Memphis Underground is a 1969 album by jazz flutist Herbie Mann, that fuses the genres of jazz and rhythm and blues (R&B). While Mann and the other principal soloists (Roy Ayers, Larry Coryell and Sonny Sharrock) were leading jazz musicians, the album was recorded in Chips Moman's American Sound Studio in Memphis, a studio used by many well-known R&B and pop artists. The rhythm section was the house band at American Studios. The recording was engineered and produced by Tom Dowd.

For this 1969 studio session, he and three other top soloists (vibraphonist Roy Ayers and guitarists Larry Coryell and Sonny Sharrock) went down to Memphis and combined their talents with a topnotch local rhythm section. The music effectively mixes R&B and country rhythms with the lead jazz voices, although the material, which includes "Memphis Underground," "Hold On! I'm Comin'," and "Chain of Fools," is rather weak.

Album · 1969 · 5 Songs. Smack in the middle of Southern soul's heyday, Mann seized the moment, bringing his band to the legendary Memphis soul hothouse American Studios to cut a batch of hard-grooving R&B tunes for 1969's Memphis Underground with legendary Stax/Atlantic producer Tom Dowd and a Memphis rhythm section. On the Mann-penned title track, jazz and R&B meet atop a subtly skanking ska-flavored feel.
