The Gato Barbieri Band - Bolivia

This video clip presents one of Gato Barbieri´s most dynamic and versatile bands: Frank Colon/percussion, Mario Rodriguez/bass, Robbie Gonzalez/drums, and Marc Soskin/piano. For this performance, Gato decided, on the spur of the moment, to perform "Bolivia", a song which the keyboardist had never played and which the other members had never performed in this band configuration! The song structure was lightly discussed before playing what was supposed to be the camera-angle sound-check. Once done, Gato announced that this was, in fact, the final take, packed up his sax and went home.

Un gra acierto que Gato aparezca en la pelicula Calle 54, es uno de los pioneros de la fusion de la música latinoamericana con el jazz.

He would modify his sax to achive the right tones and there it is....a sound so haunting and so recognizable.

El Gato es el músico de jazz mas importante nacido en América Latina, su aporte al género es extraordinario y anticipó el jazz que se hace en el continente 30 años después. Grande Gato!!!
