Barry Rogers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barron W. Rogers (born in The Bronx on May 22, 1935; died 1991) was a salsa music 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.[1]
