Song For Barry (5:08)
Written and arranged by Michael Brecker; Mixed by Ray Bardani A tribute to Barry Rogers' musical legacy, this tune is based on one of Barry's favorite horn motifs - which we frequently played together. It also contains a transcribed excerpt of Barry's trombone solo on "Un Dia Bonito," from Eddie Palmieri's album Sun of Latin Music. (The bass line is an adaptation of a Guinean tribal theme.)
