Need tip re. a Herbie Mann mid-60s Atlantic LP: would I like this? :O)

One seller has this neat looking US original copy of a red & mauve Atlantic Herbie Mann album. Ebay was of no help this morning so that I may give you a specific reference.
I have zero knowledge of HB's music. I like "modern" (60s) jazz and flute improvisation. But I have little fondness for mainstream, unless it is performed by geniuses such as Wes Montgomery... And even then...

I would like to know which reissue reference to look for on Amazon.com so that I may check audio clips and see if I like this music or not. The front cover shows Mann standing straight up (and sort of darkly and weirdly elongated by the lens) with one of several flutes (an alto one I think). On the back, he plays one of those twisted flutes (bass ?).

Any hint at that? Or any hint at what style of music this guy was into in those days? (Liner notes were complicated to decipher.) Small combo bop, overarranged latino, etc, etc...
