Herbie Mann and Dave Valentin on flute with Tito Puente on percussion. Herbie Mann popularized the flute in the '50's playing Latin jazz. At the beginning of the '60's he went on a U.S. state sponsored tour of Africa. Soon after he traveled to Brazil where he fell in love with Bossa Nova music. He recorded albums with Brazilian musicians. Herbie Mann was truly one of the very first musicians to engage in World Music well before the term was coined.

  • "Jungle Fantasy" es una composición de Esy Morales. En Youtube podéis encontrar clips de la película "Criss Cross" (1949) donde se puede ver a "Esy Morales and his Rhumba band" tocando esta maravillosa pieza musical mientras Yvonne de Carlo y Tony Curtis la bailan bajo la atenta mirada de Burt Lancaster.

    ¡Simplemente maravilloso"

  • @LauraAmiga Thank you LauraAmiga for posting this. Herbie Mann credits Esy Morales as being his first influence on the flute. It was great to actually see and hear him play!
