An adventurous, chance-taking musician, Herbie Mann has experimented with many musical styles throughout his long career. On this 1959 live date from the now-defunct jazz club Basin Street East in Manhattan, the New York-born flutist performs with a Latin percussion section, a bass player, and a vibraphonist. While the ensemble sounds spare, they play heartfelt renditions of "Caravan" and "Delilah," as well as original Mann compositions "Todos Locos" and "Cuban Patato Chip," the latter being one of his most requested Latin-tinged tunes. Mann switches to bass clarinet on the lazy blues "Come On, Mule" but, other than this, he plays either an E flat or C flute throughout. On each track, his solos combine jazz with Afro-Cuban flavors; the riveting "Basin Street Este," a dedication to the club itself, may be the best example of this subtle fusion of Latin music and bebop.

After adding Cuban-born conguero Carlos "Patato" Valdes to his backing group on the recommendation of jazz DJ Sid Torin, Herbie Mann mounted a State Department-sponsored tour of Africa that further expanded his musical horizons -- Flautista!, recorded live at New York City's Basin Street East in June 1959, captures the flutist's deepening immersion in global rhythms and harmonies, documenting a pan-cultural jazz aesthetic that points the way for the myriad world music efforts that followed in its wake. Favoring a subtle, thoughtful combination of bebop melodies and Afro-Cuban rhythms, the group -- also including Valdes, vibraphonist Johnny Rae, bassist Knobby Totah, and percussionists Santos Miranda and Luis Mangual -- delivers a beautifully light yet hypnotically insistent performance that suffers from none of the awkwardness endemic among these kinds of early fusion efforts. Mann even detours to the Far East for a cool, graceful rendition of the exotica staple "Caravan." Verve's 1998 reissue appends a pair of unreleased cuts, "Delilah" and "Basin Street Este."
