Discothèque finds legendary jazz flautist Herbie Mann embracing the dancefloor sounds of the late 1970s while retaining the improvisational flair that made him one of jazz’s most successful crossover artists. Blending jazz-funk, disco, Latin influences and soulful grooves, the album captures the vibrant energy of the era and showcases Mann’s distinctive flute playing over infectious rhythms.

A prolific recording artist with a career spanning several decades, Herbie Mann helped introduce jazz audiences to world music, Brazilian sounds and contemporary dance styles. Discothèque is an enjoyable fusion of jazz sophistication and disco-era excitement, making it a worthwhile addition for collectors of jazz-funk, fusion and late-1970s dance music.
