Reggae (album)

Reggae is an album by flautist Herbie Mann with the Tommy McCook Band recorded in London in 1973 and released on the Atlantic label.

Reception

The Allmusic site awarded the album 3 stars stating: "Despite its title, most of the music on this album is not actually reggae but a mixture of jazz, R&B and pop. Flutist Herbie Mann, guitarists Mick Taylor and Albert Lee and keyboardist Pat Rebillot combine with the eight-piece Tommy McCook band to create some spirited and danceable (if a bit dated) music... The results are fun if not all that substantial". The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings gave the album 2 stars saying it had: "No more than a hint of reggae".
