The Herbie Mann–Sam Most Quintet (later reissued as The Mann with the Most) is an album by flautists Herbie Mann and Sam Most on the Bethlehem label which was recorded in 1955.[1]
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars noting "Most was actually the better known of the two flutists at the time but, while he ended up in the Los Angeles studios, Mann's constant musical curiosity would result in him gaining worldwide fame. Their enjoyable music finds the flutists battling it out to a draw". On All About Jazz Robert Spencer stated "The Herbie Mann-Sam Most Quintet is a 1956 album of eleven genial, high-spirited tracks featuring Mann and Most trading bright, up-tempo, virtually saxophonic flute solos".[2]
