Product Information
Acclaimed drummer, composer, and producer Geoff Mann is set to release Underground, a full-length tribute to his father Herbie Mann's landmark 1969 album Memphis Underground. Herbie Mann's original Memphis Underground remains a landmark in the melding of jazz and Southern soul and is often cited as one of the first albums deemed as "fusion." Released on Atlantic Records, the album brought together a merger of New York jazz soloists including Roy Ayers, Larry Coryell, and Sonny Sharrock with the rhythm section at Memphis' American Sound Studio, a hub for R&B and soul hits. Produced by the legendary Tom Dowd, the record blended deep groove and improvisational freedom to create a genre-crossing sound that resonated well beyond the jazz world. It remains one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time and was famously praised by Rolling Stone as "a piece of musical alchemy." The musicians featured on the new album include Latin GRAMMY Award-Winning flautist Domenica Fossati, frequent collaborator guitarist Marcos Garcia (Antibalas, Here Lies Man, Chico Mann), Daptone Records mainstay Victor Axelrod on piano, and Here Lies Man bandmate J.P. Maramba on bass. The album was mixed by Eddie Spear, who mixed Brandie Carlile's GRAMMY-Award-winning album By The Way, I Forgive You and the A Star is Born soundtrack ft. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.
