The Herbie Mann Picto-Discography (1952-2003) Deluxe Color Edition

"The Herbie Mann Picto-Discography" is a companion book to Cary Ginell's 2014 biography, "The Evolution of Mann: Herbie Mann and the Flute in Jazz." The book is an exhaustive listing of recordings made during Mann's half-century-long recording career, beginning in the early 1950s and lasting until shortly before his death in 2003. In addition to becoming the first jazz musician to make the flute his primary instrument, Herbie Mann took fans on a global musical journey during his long career, making landmark stops in Africa, Brazil, Japan, and other musically exotic locales. No musician was more responsible for bringing world music to jazz. The discography utilizes primary resources to identify locations, personnel, recording dates, and unissued titles from sessions Herbie Mann made in studios around the world. Fifteen years in the making, "The Herbie Mann Picto-Discography" also incorporates images of most of the individual records listed in the book. WINNER! 2018 ARSC AWARD FOR "BEST JAZZ DISCOGRAPHY"
