Herbie Mann Hijack

Herbert Jay Solomon (April 16, 1930 -- July 1, 2003)[1] , better known as Herbie Mann, was a Jewish American jazz flutist and important early practitioner of world music. Early in his career, he also played tenor saxophones and clarinets (including bass clarinet), but Mann was among the first jazz musicians to specialize on the flute and was perhaps jazz music's preeminent flutist during the 1960s.
His most popular single was "Hijack," which was a Billboard Number-one dance hits of 1975 (USA) for 3 weeks.

I think Jennifer Lopez sampled or used elements of this song "Hijack" by Herbie Mann, in her 2002 single "Jenny From The Block."
