Herbie Mann - Comin' Home Baby - 8/19/1989 - Newport Jazz Festival (Official) 

Thanks. I didn't know that. But, that reminds me... Herb Alpert, who you probably remember for his Mexican influenced pop recordings with the Tijuana Brass was born and raised in the Boyle Heights section of Eastside Los Angeles. His parents were Jewish immigrants from Radomyshl (in present-day Ukraine) and Romania.[

He didn't say it was 98, he said this was the 98 version - evidently written the previous year.

My guess is that he replaced it with a pick up that he could plug right into. I had a Barcus Berry version in the '70's. I remember reading that he used a Frap pick up. This was just before clip mic's began becoming the standard for wind instruments.

True - it's hard to top a classic.

I guess you're right

oh, I dunno, I think the Village Gate version is a classic, but I like this more funky modern version as well, I think they both stand on their own.

Yes, with Dave Pike, Chick Corea, potato and Bruno Carr, earl may, Ben tucker, jack Hitchcock and mark wenstein.
