Herbie Mann Dies
Jazz flutist Herbie Mann, who achieved international acclaim by incorporating world music elements into jazz, died July 1 in New Mexico after a long battle with prostate cancer. He was 73.
Mann is one of jazz's most recognized flutists; he began recording in the mid-'50s
and had released dozens of successful albums, including 1969's "Memphis Underground" (Atlantic), which peaked at No. 20 on The Billboard 200.
Mann fell in love with the rhythms and harmonies of the many countries he visited, most notably Brazil, where he recorded and toured many times.
He helped usher in a bossa nova craze in the U.S. with such albums as "Do the Bossa Nova With Herbie Mann" and "Herbie Mann/Joao Gilberto/Antonio Carlos Jobim."
Mann formed his own jazz label, Kokopelli Music, in 1992, severing ties with it four years later.
His last performance was May 3 at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Mann is survived by his wife, four children, his mother and a sister.
