Gato Barbieri - R.I.P.

Very sad indeed. I really enjoy his fiery and gritty sax sound and his classic A&M albums like Caliente and Ruby Ruby and the song Speak low from his final album for A&M he will be missed may he rest in peace indeed.
 
Funny... I was just recalling a track on Gino Vannelli's 1974 album Powerful People, a track entitled "Felicia". Herb was listed as Associate Producer on the album, and Lani sang background vocals. Then there's this uncredited sax solo which sounds suspiciously like Gato.
 
One of my favorite songs Gato covered was "Speak Low" Gato gave the old standard a good intensified workout and given it was recorded on his Final A&M album and it was at the close of the 70s to me it kind still Has a Nostalgic tone and mood to it Now even more than ever
