The Wailing Dervishes is a live album by American jazz flautist Herbie Mann recorded at the Village Theatre in New York City for the Atlantic label and released in 1967.[1]
AllMusic awarded the album 4½ stars stating "The Wailing Dervishes chases after a fusion that is extremely rare even today - jazz and the Middle East. Believe it or not, it works -- and there are no commercial or ethnic compromises. ...Recorded live, this LP is definitely worth hunting for if you want to hear something really different.
