...Herbie endured, eventually changed his name and instrument, and, as Jazz Flutist Herbie Mann, has be come at 34 one of the most successful jazzmen in the business. This week he was voted the top musician in his field for the eighth consecutive year in the Down Beat magazine readers' poll. But, to the inner circle of jazz aficionados, Herbie is still not with it. Mainly, says Mann, "because I've committed the cardinal sin of being successful...

They were bossa nova in their time" Such U.S. jazzmen as Flutist Herbie Mann heard the new music, liked it and began putting it in their programs back home. ("Twist music," said Mann, ";is all show and promise -no inner fire. Bossa nova is just the opposite.") Another early convert was Jazz Guitarist Charlie Byrd, who heard bossa nova while...
