 Ray Barretto: April 29, 1929 - February 17, 2006
The world of music mourns the
passing of one of the great figures in music
of recent years. Ray Barretto impressed me
as much with his performances on jazz recordings
as he did with his salsa material. He always
made great music and surrounded himself with
great players. Ray had a profound influence
in shaping the company I founded, LP, and the
way I saw the future and past of the music
with which I became infatuated in the late
1950s. He will be missed.
