Released in 1966, Today! by Herbie Mann is a vibrant fusion of jazz with bossa nova and Latin jazz influences. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, including renditions of The Beatles' "Yesterday" and "The Night Before." Mann's expressive flute playing is complemented by a stellar ensemble, including trumpeter Jimmy Owens, trombonists John Hitchcock and Joe Orange, vibraphonist Dave Pike, bassist Earl May, drummer Bruno Carr, and conguero Carlos "Patato" Valdés. The arrangements, crafted by Oliver Nelson, blend traditional jazz with Latin rhythms, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience.
