From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Push Push is a 1971 album by jazz flautist Herbie Mann (1930 – 2003), which features Duane Allman. The record explored a range of popular genres, such as R&B, rock and funk music to create what All Music Guide calls a "generally appealing, melodic and danceable" album with an "impressive crew of musicians."[1]
Mann was among the first jazz musicians to specialize on the flute and was a prominent jazz flautist during the 1960s. By the early 1970s, Mann had a number of songs cross over to the pop charts, which was rather rare for a jazz musician. A 1998 interview reported that "At least 25 Herbie Mann albums have made the top 200 pop charts, success denied most of his jazz peers." [2]

Other performers on the album included Cornell Dupree, David Spinoza (guitar), Gene Bianca (harp), Richard Tee (piano, electric piano, organ), Chuck Rainey, Jerry Jemmott, Donald "Duck" Dunn (bass), Bernard Purdie, Al Jackson, Jr. (drums), and Ralph McDonald (percussion). The engineer was Jimmy Douglass and the producer was Turkish-American music producer Arif Mardin (1932 - 2006).
