Herbie Mann, who uses Latin and African rhythms to expand his interpretation of modern jazz, is the leading jazz flutist in the United States. As composer and arranger, his repertoire grew during tours of South America and Africa sponsored by the State Department. At his Museum concert, he will introduce music by young

Brazilians who have incorporated modern jazz into their works; he will also play compositions of his own based on these works. Many of the selections will be included on "Right Now," soon to be released by Atlantic Records. "Herbie Mann at the Village Gate" is a current best seller.

Jazz in the Garden will continue on July 5 with the Blossom Dearie Trio.
