Total genius. Not only his playing but the arrangements go on & on! I was happy to have met him one time also @ a tritbute concert we did for the also now deceased conguero Victor "Negrito" Pantoja

sad news RIP, i always dug his early piano stuff

i like his salsa picante stuff, in particular this one...



various tributes have been popping up all day and i've been constantly surprised to see how deep his credits run, from art blakey and cal tjader to rufus and prince.

RIP.

awww. RIP. and i just realized how much i dig him in the past few weeks.

Really sad news. I absolutely love the stuff he did with Prince in the 80's. Go listen to "Pink Cashmere".

RIP
