Barbieri was a true inidividual expressive voice in the jazz world. The vibrant latin fusion of "Under Fire" (Flying Dutchman) was one of my first Jazz LPs. RIP, Gato

Know what you mean, gregmo. I d call it lineal like Tristano with the keys, kinda cool thing. I think young Chet was the first who sang like that. Its a matter of either...or. There´s hardly an in-between if you like this style or not In his latest years I think Chet needed those singing intervals because of his dwindling chops for the trumpet..
