About The Record:

The Beat Goes On is an album by American jazz flautist Herbie Mann released on the Atlantic label in 1967. The album features tracks from seven separate sessions recorded in 1964, 1966 and 1967 and peaked at #9 on Billboard's Jazz Albums. A reviewer on allmusic.com says, "Herbie Mann was quite unpredictable in the 1960s -- from one album to the next, you never knew if he would embrace hard bop, bossa nova, Latin jazz, soul-jazz, or whatever else he was in the mood for. He could be commercial one minute, esoteric and experimental the next. One of Mann's more commercial LPs from that period, The Beat Goes On, is a generally funky, groove-oriented soul-jazz effort with strong Latin leanings... Afro-Cuban rhythms are a high priority, although Mann gets into more of a bossa nova groove on vibist Dave Pike's Dream Garden... this LP is full of highly infectious grooves and makes a great party album. Regrettably, The Beat Goes On has long been out of print -- so if you're a lover of Latin-flavored soul-jazz and come across a copy somewhere, grab it immediately."
