Right Now is an album by American jazz flautist Herbie Mann recorded in 1962 for the Atlantic label
Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "The flutist provided a very wide variety of music during his long stay at Atlantic; this rewarding 1962 LP found him combining bop with various forms of world music". -
[the title track] was popularized by jazz singer Mel Tormé on his album Comin' Home Baby!, and was the B-side of the single featuring the title track.

Review by Thom Jurek
...All 11 cuts are stomping, moving, steaming, and grooving sambas, descargas, Afros, boleros, cha chas, mambos, sons, etc. The jazz improvising that does take place is authentic, grooving harmonic interplay based on -- not against -- the rhythmic considerations and fugue figures. Led by the percussion section of Martinez, Louie Ramirez, and Ernie Newsum, trumpeter Martry Sheller, saxophonist Bobby Porcelli, pianist Arty Jenkins, and bassist Billy Salter tear through a selection that can deemed erroneously to be salsa, but is actually a magnificent Latin and jazz fusion of the highest order. Most notable tracks are "Delilah," "Otra Vez" with its 12/16 meter, "I Remember Carmen" with its burning alto solos, and "Nica's Dream" with its nocturnal, steamy rhythm built on a small bop figure from the Sonny Stitt book...
Musical Interlude: I was listening this on the way to work today; it's a glorious piece. This clip is from the documentary film CALLE 54, about Latin jazz, featuring many performers. Really, just a glorified collection of music videos, but it's damn good.
"Samba Triste," performed by Elaine Elias.
