I became a fan of Herbie Mann in the early 1970s, when I was in college. I recently learned his birth name was actually Herbert Jay Solomon, and he was born in NYC. RIP Herbie Mann.
Thanks. I didn't know that. But, that reminds me... Herb Alpert, who you probably remember for his Mexican influenced pop recordings with the Tijuana Brass was born and raised in the Boyle Heights section of Eastside Los Angeles. His parents were Jewish immigrants from Radomyshl (in present-day Ukraine) and Romania.[
My guess is that he replaced it with a pick up that he could plug right into. I had a Barcus Berry version in the '70's. I remember reading that he used a Frap pick up. This was just before clip mic's began becoming the standard for wind instruments.
