His flute is by turns lyrical, earthy, and insistent, finding a shimmering counterpart in Hagood Hardy’s vibraphone. Beneath them, bass, drums, and layered percussion create a supple groove that gives the music both its drive and its spaciousness.\u003cbr\u003eRecorded live at New York’s Village Gate in November 1961, these performances balance melodic familiarity with the freedom of extended improvisation. Blues feeling and richly woven rhythms give the music an immediate appeal, while the ensemble’s responsive interplay rewards closer listening. It is Mann at his most engaging: buoyant, expressive, and deeply connected to the musicians around him.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist(s): \u003c\/strong\u003eFlute – Herbie Mann\u003cbr\u003eBass – Ahmad Abdul-Malik, Ben Tucker\u003cbr\u003eDrums – Rudy Collins\u003cbr\u003ePercussion, Congas – Ray Mantilla\u003cbr\u003ePercussion, Drums – Chief Bey\u003cbr\u003eVibraphone – Hagood Hardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecording Info: \u003c\/strong\u003eRecorded live on November 17, 1961, at the Village Gate, New York City.\u003cbr\u003eProduced under the supervision of Nesuhi Ertegun.\u003cbr\u003eRecording engineers: Tom Dowd and Phil Iehle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSourced from a 4-track tape\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponents used for Transfer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis transfer leverages precision analog playback and mastering-grade digital conversion. The signal path begins with a modified Nagra 4SJ with Flux Heads, fed through a Merrill Audio Master MX Tape Head Preamp. The analog signal is converted via a Merging Anubis converter, powered by a Teddy Pardo dedicated linear power supply synchronized to an Antelope Audio 10MX atomic clock for temporal accuracy. All components receive isolated power conditioning through a Shunyata Research Everest X with Shunyata Sigma-X power cords and Omega-X Interconnects, while grounding infrastructure utilizes Shunyata ALTAIRA hubs to minimize noise floor and preserve sonic detail throughout the transfer chain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Comin' Home Baby 8:37\u003cbr\u003e2 Summertime 10:18\u003cbr\u003e3 It Ain't Necessarily So 19:55\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg height=\"98\" width=\"110\" alt=\"DSD256 high-resolution audio badge\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/dsd256_badge_480x480.png?v=1516987294\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note: This release was edited in DXD PCM from a DSD256 Master, then the DXD edited master was used to generate the final DSD files using Merging Technologies Album Publishing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDXD (352.8KHz 24\/32 bit PCM) is one of the best and least destructive formats for post-processing DSD originated digital recordings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCopyright © \u0026amp; ℗ High Definition Tape Transfers 2026, including all compilation, transfer, remastering, and restoration aspects\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"60\" width=\"664\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/Herbie_Mann_At_The_Village_Gate_booklet.pdf?v=1794229578\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Download liner notes\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/download_liner_notes_735eceed-201e-4f62-b888-d1fed8b53db5_medium.jpg?3217511782796413000\" style=\"float: none;\" height=\"65\" width=\"229\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hdtt-samples.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/Herbie+Mann+At+The+Village+Gate+Sample.flac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Download 24\/96 sample\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/download_Sample_24_96_ce2d27c7-5f84-4e02-8a32-ac81bd7164a7_medium.jpg?1320818084609747374\" height=\"65\" width=\"229\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlay Sample Tracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/hdtt-music-player.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/Herbie+Mann+At+The+Village+Gate\/audioplayer.html\" border=\"0\" height=\"341\" width=\"525\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"High Definition Tape Transfers","offers":[{"title":"DSD256 Direct Stream Digital Download","offer_id":68152438030556,"sku":"HDTT24631","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD128 Direct Stream Digital Download","offer_id":68152438063324,"sku":"HDTT24630","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD64 Direct Stream Digital Download","offer_id":68152438096092,"sku":"HDTT24629","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\/352.8 DXD PCM Flac Digital Download","offer_id":68152438128860,"sku":"HDTT24628","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\/192 PCM Flac Digital Download","offer_id":68152438161628,"sku":"HDTT24627","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\/96 PCM Flac Digital Download","offer_id":68152438194396,"sku":"HDTT24626","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Regular Premium Compact Disc","offer_id":68152438227164,"sku":"HDTT24625","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Budget Compact Disc","offer_id":68152438259932,"sku":"HDTT24624","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/cover_8f754f1e-0e71-48f5-80c7-5aa3309fec5d.jpg?v=1794150515","url":"https:\/\/www.highdeftapetransfers.ca\/ru\/products\/herbie-mann-at-the-village-gate","provider":"High Definition Tape Transfers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
