This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out of print Herbie Mann LPs: Windows Opened and The Inspiration I Feel, both originally issued on Atlantic Records in 1968. These 12 tracks feature jazz versions of popular songs of the period written by Donovan, Tim Hardin, and Jimmy Webb plus six associated with Ray Charles. Herbie Mann is accompanied by frequent collaborators Roy Ayers, Sonny Sharrock and Miroslav Vitous (and Bruno Carr), whose names should attract, justifiably, "serious" Jazz lovers.

It is a magical, soul-inspiring authentic musical story about a woman's awakening and actualization. It is a story of You, of the genius within every woman. A woman who has awakened the unique inborn spiritual talents within herself becomes a true Creator Goddess. Such a Goddess Woman creates a harmonious, happy, meaningful life that brings love, peace, health, success, joy and satisfaction to her and those around.
Every song speaks of different talents of a Woman, her given gifts and their manifestation in life, touching just as well upon painful experiences that a Woman unfamiliar with herself goes through. In these songs, a woman's path of evolution is encoded, including even special practices that help open up the feminine nature. Angelic virtuoso vocal and tantric poetry will nourish Your soul with beauty and love…

These two Maze albums slapped onto one disc will command a permanent slot in your CD changer. Features some of Beverly's most inspiring compositions ("Timin'" and "Lovely Inspiration"), his most romantic ("Call on Me" and "The Look In Your Eyes"), as well as up-tempo show openers and closers ("Feel That You're Feelin'"), and the one that made the band a favorite with ladies where they shop for groceries at Piggly Wiggly's, "Southern Girl."
