Very hip playing. Nicely done.

[damarisrobles0101]

This was my Friday & Saturday nights at the Corso & La Mancha in NYC in the late 60's & early 70's. This was when u had to have some serious skills to dance to the music of these masters, I SAW LIVE....WOW. Hell, I may even still have a few moves left in me...lmao.

Han pasado mas de 3 años desde que vi este video y donde entonces no paro dejar de mirarlo. Gracias Watchagonnadu.

[jacquillo]

[Handsx]

this is incredible. i just bought a used record for a buck that has this song as performed by edmundo ros. check out that version if you can find it. its also very energetic.

[1956raffy]

hey that trip was a great adventure! check out herbie playing the same cut on you tube under herbie mann once again brasil its only 3 minutes but herbie at his best

[denzelsnipes69]

LoL @ Tito Puente making those funny faces while he's playing! 

[LauraAmiga]

"Jungle Fantasy" es una composición de Esy Morales. En Youtube podéis encontrar clips de la película "Criss Cross" (1949) donde se puede ver a "Esy Morales and his Rhumba band" tocando esta maravillosa pieza musical mientras Yvonne de Carlo y Tony Curtis la bailan bajo la atenta mirada de Burt Lancaster.

¡Simplemente maravilloso"

[watchagonnadu]

@LauraAmiga Thank you LauraAmiga for posting this. Herbie Mann credits Esy Morales as being his first influence on the flute. It was great to actually see and hear him play!

[encantalavida]

Most definately one of THE best combinations of jazz musicians you will EVER come across!!

[conellcernach]

Wow!!! q mas se podría esperar de todos estos genios.

[jaykid718]

Paquito was Flawless!

[jaykid718]

This Piece is very intoxicating! Found it looking for recent dave valentine work, damn i missed his show at the blue note jazz club in january! i regret it! Tito Puente with his his charismatic performance, Lol its great!

[pacomelo76]

Que sabor, que bandota.........vaya, vaya, vayaaaaaaa.

[1956raffy]

hey in 1960 I was in mombasa in kenya and herbie and the other american musicians including roy eldridge did a concert at the local cinema later that night on my way home through old town I heard flute music and came across herbie playing flutes with a local goatherd tending his flock. about 15 years ago at one of his concerts I bumped into him and casually reminded him of that night he looked at me in disbelief I think I was the only white person at the concert let alone that dark path

[beachdog67]

@1956raffy Great story.

[rhettco52]

@1956raffy wow, that is a wicked story man!!

[BcuzJazz]

awesome awesomeness

[tbourke325]

latin mann was in my old record collection, ye who likes herbie latin

[trydreamin]

Fantastic clip. I started playing flute in college after calrinet and sax for ten years. I listened to everything by Herbie and copied it until I get him in my head. My favorite was an album called Latin Fever. If anyone has any, please post.

[moonchildiva]

My Dad's favorite musician, he turned the whole family onto Herbie!

[Manolian]

Tremendo SWING!

[amusicianinparis]

It's not really swing It's latin!!

[Manolian]

@amusicianinparis for your education "swing" is slang used by "Latin:" musicians to describe when a tune has soul, no matter which genre of music it is. So ,tremendo swing = it's cooking,it's soulful,it's right on,it's groovus, take your pick.

[amusicianinparis]

Ok I don't have thinked it in that way. I thinked you're refering to the rythm. I apologise.

[gui11loup10]

Dave and Tito together, a high power explosive bomb!

[salsajazzpicante]

[begeller]

[Smoothways]

Tito Puente is such a showman!

[PheliaZ]

Love the drum player!

[Dries1010]

Yes hes verry funny

[jmzfactor]

Thanks to my friend Judith I got to meet Herbie and hear him play live. What a cool guy, fantastic musician and visionary. He always had incredible musicians wanting to play with him. What a great video and performance!

[judithpk]

Wow, Herbie was my brother, and seeing this brought back lots of memories.. This music is what interested him in playing the flute loved Essie Morales

[killerjoe242]

[dreadwicked]

Great colaboration. Herbie is the MANn! So is Tito

[amusicianinparis]

Wow!!!! paquito d'Rivera on sax.

[kokonutz32]

[Pinkerton9]

Herbie Mann is The Bomb! You haven't heard jazz until you've heard his "At The Village Gate". I've been listening to it since about 1964.

[veralmorais]

Flute's for ever

[JoJota1311]

[Heinrich552002]

thx god i feel very much alive

[handdrummer68]

if your not moved by this clip you must be dead!

[watchagonnadu]

Amen Brother!

[dickdona]

These guys seem to only play a few notes altogether between them. They hardly ever leave the scale. And it's just rhythm stuff. Feeling . . .?? Is that supposed to be great?

[msieiro]

Dave Valentin is the best.

[pnebenzahl]

OMG! Herbie Mann what a guy! To really get edumucated on him, checvk out his excellent tribute record to the great Bill Evans. Now that's some deep stuff.

[latinman20]

Herbie man excelente !!! ...

[mikaylasax]

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! But you failed to identify one of latin jazz's legends. That's Paquito D'Rivera on alto sax!! He's won 8 Grammy's - nominated 16 times. He's a legend!

Thanks for posting this. Loved it!

[moscaenlacasa]

this is real passion! thankx!

[kevinlovesceri]

[mauirob69]

This clip brought back some old memories. I used to do sound work in Miami in the early 80's. Herbie Mann, Dave Valentin, Paquito D'Rivera, Arturo Sandoval, UofM Concert Jazz Band, etc. Love that Latin sound!

[salsa419]

Paquito D'Rivera on Sax, Dave Valentin, Herbie Mann and Tito Puente....What a great clip. Does anyone know who was on bass and piano?

[sillyoldtwit]

Isn't youtube marvelous...thanks for posting this gem.

[freakbeatno1]

Herbie Mann, what a genius! Thank you for sharing this. Has anyone out there got any older footage of him from the fifties or sixties?

[jazzflutist]

Thanks to whoever uploaded this. Not often you see two great jazz flutists together on stage. Good clip.
