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.
