He was wonderful......

July 2
— LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Jazz flutist Herbie Mann, who became an international success by marrying Brazilian and African rhythms to mainstream jazz, has died at the age of 73 after a long battle with prostate cancer, a business associate said on Wednesday.

The Brooklyn-born Mann, who started off as a tenor sax player in the style of Lester Young but switched to flute when he got a job with a Dutch jazz band, died in New Mexico where he was a resident in recent years.

In 1958 he formed his own group and added a conga player, becoming an international success with records like "Herbie Mann at the Village Gate," "Do the Bossa Nova with Herbie Mann" and "Herbie Mann/Joao Gilberto/Antonio Carlos Jobim," which helped to usher in the Bossa Nova craze.

And the eyesight to tell the difference."
