Barretto Para Bailar + 1 Bonus Track (Limited Edition)

Description

This version presents the complete original LP Barretto para bailar, which was Ray Barretto's first album as a leader. For nearly 40 years, conguero and bandleader Ray Barretto was one of the leading forces in Latin Jazz. His hard-driving, compelling style graced recordings by saxophonists Gene Ammons, Lou Donaldson, and Sonny Stitt, pianist Red Garland, and guitarists Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell. He is credited with being the first U.S.-born percussionist to integrate the African conga drum into jazz. This fact tagged him as one of jazz's earliest "crossover" artists, deftly balancing his Latin proclivities and his love for bebop throughout a long and fruitful career.
