Herbie Mann's rise as jazz flute icon and future plans
Leonard Feather profiles Herbie Mann, tracing how the 32-year-old Brooklyn-born flutist shifted from doubt to fame after Herbie Mann at the Village Gate, notes his Afro Jazz Sextet tour, Bossa Nova successes, and two top selling LPs. It also covers his Hollywood condo gig, publishing firm, two three week vacations yearly, plans for a Rio apartment, and a possible New York nightclub called Herbie's Mann Hole. The album of the week highlights Jack Teagarden’s historic blues trombone set and Tony Martin’s Riviera engagement with Jose Greco Flamenco.
