I second all the brothers sentiments for a speedy recovery.
I started out life as a jazzer playing sax and standards, and it was listening to Rays music which opened my ears to this other world of latino jazz, and sent me careering off the road and straight to the conga shop.

he aint ready to go yet!!

I saw Ray just the day before he fell ill
, before he was about
to receive his Lifetime Acheivment Award
at the IAJE Jazz Conference. My thoughts are with him
for a full recovery.
