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 Citys Basin Street East in June 1959,
captures the flutists 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. Verves 1998
reissue appends a pair of unreleased cuts, Delilah and Basin Street Este.
