"The Legendary Ray Mantilla celebrate his 80th birthday with
a fantastic Band around Europe in the 2014"
One would be hard-pressed to name a working jazz musician who has played with a
longer list of great artists than Ray Mantilla. Beginning his career in the 1950s
with Latin music greats such as Xavier Cugat and Monguito Conjunto, Ray has played
with such wildly diverse personalities as Eartha Kitt, Freddie Hubbard, Larry Coryell,
Morgana King, Gato Barbieri, Cedar Walton, Michael Urbaniak, Kenny Burrell, Shirley
Scott and countless others. Together with Max Roach, he was a founding member of
the popular percussion ensemble M'Boom. Here on The Connection, Mantilla has taken
his decades of experience in music and synthesized it into a language which encompasses
the best of all genres while never quite leaving his Latin roots and heritage. With
a band made up of long-time colleagues Ray rips through an imaginative program of
originals and standards where the Latin beats are tinged with echoes of Puerto Rico,
Venezuela, Spain and Ray's own Nuyorican roots. Here is a lesson in Latin music
from the man who perhaps knows it best, having helped define its evolution during
the course of his remarkable career.
