{"title":"Gato Barbieri","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn Leandro Barbieri on 28 November 1932 in Rosario, Argentina, into a musical family. He earned the nickname \"Gato\" (Spanish for \"cat\") in the 1950s from the way he scampered between clubs with his saxophone. He gained national prominence playing alto saxophone in Lalo Schifrin's orchestra in the late 1950s. Later in the decade he switched to tenor saxophone and began leading his own groups. In 1962 he moved to Rome. Splitting his time between Rome and New York in the 1960s, he became part of the free jazz movement, working extensively with trumpeter Don Cherry from 1963 to 1966 and touring Europe. Influenced by John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, and Pharoah Sanders, he developed the warm, gritty tone for which he became renowned. With Cherry he recorded \u003cem\u003eComplete Communion\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSymphony for Improvisors\u003c\/em\u003e. He recorded his debut album as leader \u003cem\u003eIn Search of The Mystery\u003c\/em\u003e in 1967. He worked with Dollar Brand in 1968, Michael Mantler's Jazz Composer's Orchestra in 1968, Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra in 1969, and Carla Bley's free jazz opera \u003cem\u003eEscalator Over The Hill \u003c\/em\u003ein 1971.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1969 Barbieri began a productive relationship with Bob Thiele's Flying Dutchman label, recording The Third World (1969), El Pampero (1971), and Fenix (1971). In 1972 he composed the music for Bernardo Bertolucci's film Last Tango in Paris, which earned him a Grammy Award, a record deal with Impulse Records, and considerable fame. He became the inspiration for the Muppet saxophonist Zoot. With Impulse he created a series of albums focusing on folk and traditional sounds from South America, released in four \"Chapters\". From 1976 he signed with Herb Alpert's A\u0026amp;M Records. He died in 2016 in New York City, aged 83.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gato-barbieri-under-fire-1973-japanese-flying-dutchman-lp-gatefold","title":"Gato Barbieri - Under Fire (1973 Japanese Flying Dutchman LP Gatefold)","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"1061\" data-end=\"1214\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinyl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: EX\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSleeve\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: EX\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObi:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur grading system explained \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dpbg4u-d1.myshopify.com\/pages\/secondhand-grading-guide\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ehere\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto is of the actual item.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGato Barbieri - \u003cem\u003eUnder Fire\u003c\/em\u003e | Vinyl LP - 1973 Japanese Flying Dutchman Gatefold (SR-3160, King Record Co.

Born in Rosario, Argentina in 1932, he had worked in Buenos Aires and Rome before settling in New York, and the music on this album sits precisely at the intersection of his Argentinian formation and his New York arrival. Bob Thiele produced for Flying Dutchman. The session assembled an ensemble drawn from two overlapping circles: the Latin jazz world and the Miles Davis periphery. Roy Haynes, who plays on the opening \"El Paraná\" only, and Airto Moreira, who takes over drums and percussion for the remaining four tracks, both brought different rhythmic languages. James Mtume — then still primarily known as a percussionist with Miles Davis's electric band — played congas. Moulay \"Ali\" Hafid added a North African layer on dumbek. Stanley Clarke was 20 years old. John Abercrombie was beginning his transition from session work to major recognition as a leader. Lonnie Liston Smith had been playing with Pharoah Sanders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five tracks draw their material entirely from South American composers. \"El Paraná\" and the closing \"El Sertão\" are Barbieri originals — the latter co-written with Brazilian filmmaker and musician Sérgio Ricardo. \"Yo Le Canto a la Luna\" is by Atahualpa Yupanqui, the Argentine folk singer-songwriter whose songs have become standards of the South American oral tradition. \"Antonico\" is a samba by Ismael Silva, one of the founders of the genre in Rio de Janeiro in the 1920s. \"Maria Domingas\" is by Jorge Ben, recorded at the height of his tropical phase. The album was released in 1973, by which time Barbieri had already appeared on the \u003cem\u003eLast Tango in Paris\u003c\/em\u003e soundtrack and his profile had shifted considerably; \u003cem\u003eUnder Fire\u003c\/em\u003e documents an earlier and rawer moment.
