Turtle Bay (album)

Turtle Bay is an album by flautist Herbie Mann recorded in 1971 and 1973 and released on the Atlantic label.

Reception
The Allmusic site awarded the album 3 stars stating: "Herbie Mann goes back to the well of soul on this LP and comes up with another tastefully funky selection of rock/R&B hits mixed with a few originals of his own. ... Herbie's own flute work is often low-key, maybe even a bit lazy, but he is audibly sympathetic with the material".
