Barry Rogers

Barron W. Rogers (born in The Bronx on May 22, 1935; died 1991) was a salsa musician and jazz fusion trombonist best known as Barry Rogers.

Barron Rogers descended from Polish Jews and was raised in Spanish Harlem. His mother had taught in Africa, Mexico, and elsewhere which inspired an interest in music from other nations. In addition to this salsa, mambo, and Latin jazz was simply popular in the neighborhood. He began in Latin jazz in the mid-1950s and would be most associated with it from then on. He developed his style working with Eddie Palmieri. [ [http://www.descarga.com/cgi-bin/db/archives/Profile42?2VBIXGV8;;171 Profile of Barry Rogers] ] . Willie Colón regarded Rogers as his strongest musical influence, and would feature Rogers in many of his productions. Bobby Valentin would feature him in his classic song "El Jíbaro y la Naturaleza", which lead then-singer Marvin Santiago to nickname him "El Terror de los Trombones" for the record (Rogers' trombone tone was regarded as one of the loudest in salsa music).

Although fundamentally known as a salsa trombonist, working with musicians such as Palmieri, The Fania All Stars, Machito, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Cheo Feliciano, Johnny Pacheco, Manny Oquendo, and many more, as a session musician Barry also collaborated with jazz, soul and pop musicians. He was a founding member of the jazz-rock band Dreams, which included Michael Brecker and Randy Brecker, and also performed with James Taylor, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Todd Rundgren, Grover Washington Jr., Ron Carter, George Benson, Carly Simon, David Byrne, Bob James, Spyro Gyra, Bob Moses, Elton John and Don Grolnick.
