I remember Barretto (The Acid Conga) player!.......2006-03-30

I personally do not consider this CD his best. He has other albums with better music. Barretto ranks as one of my favorite conga players. On this CD he does not have many conga solos but, the songs are very good. He was one of the first New York Ricans to interpret the Afro-Cuban music in New York, with the hit "El Watusi". To me my favorite albums from him are "Que Viva La Musica" and "Acid/Head Sounds". I still remember him doing a conga duel with Mongo at the Yankee Stadium during the Fania All Stars concert, it was difficult for the crowd to take sides between him and Mongo, these guys really put up a great show that night. The concert had to be cancelled do to an uncontrolled fight between the fans. I also remember him when he came to Miami (1977) to play with Fania All Stars at The Miami Beach Convention Center. The place was packed, and all the Miami Beach residents (Elderly Jews) were amazed at the enormous young Latin crowd. I had a good time seen all my favorite Latin celebrities on stage for the first time. It was a sad day for me when I was informed by my Puerto Rican friends of his recent death. Another good conguero leaves us. +Ray Barretto+ R.I.P

An all-time classic. Ray and Adalberto at their vey best!!!.......2006-10-03

No serious salsero should be without this CD as it's simply and undeniably an undisputed all-time classic. This album brought together all of the elements that made the previous Barretto/Santiago collaborations so special but added two very jazzy and experimental numbers ("Algo Nuevo" and "Tumbao Africano"). The great Adalberto Santiago's vocals are glorious and beyond any reproach whatsoever on such immortal masterpieces as "Ya Ves", "Al Ver Sus Campos" and "Algun Dia Sere Feliz". Almost 30 years after its original release this album remains as important and enjoyable as back then and...it's a MUST for your CD collection.

el disco de la salsa!!!!!! AlbertoEgoavil(Lima-Peru).......2006-09-30

Compre en 1979 este disco en LP. Al principio era extrano para miun disco de ese tipo ya quela salsa de NY estaba decayendo y se escuchaba mas la de venezuela o Colombia, pero luego entendi el mensaje: Ray siempre estaba un paso adelante,la salsa ya habia dado todo de si,y esos temas furiosos y con muchos arreglos jazzisticos significaban un aviso de resurgimiento ("reconstruccion"), era salsa de Nueva York!!!,sonido de calle con mucho sabor y sobretodo lo que le apasionaba a Ray: JAZZ. A lo largo de su estadia en Fania, sus discos suenan asi, acordes complejos para el comun del bailador salsero.Ni hablar de Adalberto Santiago, su voz esta intacta ,aun en los dos ultimos conciertos del Carnegie Hall donde los vi el 2003 y 2005.
Este disco refleja la cumbre de la musica y del movimiento llamado Salsa!!,luego de ello ya no hay mas, Se podra hacer mas Latin Jazz pero en Salsa, comenzo la decadencia.

Album Description

"Undeniably one of the world's greatest percussionists. An American jazz legend. A latin music classic. A driving force in that New York Puerto Rican musical hurricane." - MIAMI HERALD

"[Straddling] the worlds of jazz and Latin music in a career that spanned almost six decades ... Barretto was known for his fearless experimentation with Latin, jazz, and rhythm and blues, and for helping popularize salsa music." - NPR.org

"Barretto has spent over four decades refining the integration of Afro-Caribbean rhythms with the improvisational elements of jazz. Few artists have been as successful over the years at fusing these two genres as Barretto, an undisputed master." - DRUMMER WORLD

Standards Rican-ditioned is the last recording of legendary Puerto Rican percussionist Ray Barretto, who passed away unexpectedly on February 17, 2006. Barretto recorded Standards with an all-star ensemble of top Puerto Rican musicians in December 2005 in a fifties Blue Note-style straight-ahead blowing session, playing classic jazz standards. The band Barretto assembled for this recording features Hilton Ruiz on piano, David Sanchez on tenor sax, Papo Vazquez on trombone, John Benitez on bass, Adam Cruz on drums, and the reecording debut of Barretto's twenty-year-old son Chris Barretto on alto sax. This session was also one of the last by legendary pianist Hilton Ruiz, who passed away in June from injuries he received in an accident during a visit to New Orleans. Ray Barretto completed and approved the mixes for all but the last track, "Strange Music." Chris Barretto plays conga on this tune, and oversaw the final mixing and mastering of the recording. Standards Rican-ditioned stands as the last milestone in Ray Barretto's rich five-decade recording career, covering Latin jazz, straight-ahead jazz, and salsa in a unique Puerto Rican all-star format.

The Man Who Could Create Latin Jazz.......2006-10-06

Ray Barretto my no longer be with us (he died shortly after this album was cut in December 2005), but as long as we have the diverse recordings such a this one to remind us, he will not likely be forgotten. Barretto was one of the prominent percussionists of his time and his influence on music of the jazz idiom was felt far more widely than most realize.

On this fine CD Barretto plays congas, and is joined by Hilton Ruiz on piano, David Sanchez on tenor sax, Papo Vazquez on trombone, Chris Barretto on alto sax, John Bentiez on bass, and Adam Cruz on drums - Puerto Ricans all, adding that special flavor of the Latin influence on these terrific songs. The works included on this farewell album include songs by Hoagy Carmichael, Johnny Mercer, Duke Elligton, Bobby Troup and others. The results - a wistful yet full-bodied concert of some very fine performances of 'Rican-ditioned' favorites. Well worth your attention. Grady Harp, October 06
