mikeweil Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Percussionist MiltonCardona, who appeared on many records of jazz musicians besides being a major figure on the New York Latin scene, died September 19, 2014, at age 69. Among many other things, he was a core member of Kip Hanrahan's projects, who also produced his only LP as a leader with traditional Santería drums and chants on the American Clavé label. This sad news was posted among his percussion colleagues on facebook. Edited September 21, 2014 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin V Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Looking at his credits on Allmusic, I was surprised at how many albums I have that he appeared on, as well as the sheer number of notable albums to which he contributed. Thank you for the music, Mr. Cardona, and rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
