...feel like a relic," Kevin Costner says over breakfast in a Manhattan hotel room. He doesn't look like one either. Fit and genial at 48, he moves or sits with the easy poise of all those athletes he's played: the hungry golfer in Tin Cup, the cyclist in American Flyers, the baseball veterans in Bull Durham (recently chosen by SPORTS ILLUSTRATED as the best-ever baseball movie) and For Love of the Game.

With a canny eye on the box office, Mann has attracted a devoted following from the 'lay and fringe public' with a unique amalgam of jazz and ethnic music. Last week in Manhattan's cavernous Village Gate, the Herbie Mann Septet was serving up one of its typical jazz potpourris: gently infectious bossa nova, thumping Afro-Cuban, variations on a North African tribal chant, a Middle Eastern treatment of the theme from Fiddler on the Roof, a brooding interpretation of a classical piano piece...
