Ray Barretto’s Acid offers a focused perspective on the artist’s jazz work. The vinyl program gives the selections room to connect, making the contrast between individual moments and the larger sequence part of the listening experience.
The appeal lies in the conversation inside the ensemble: how a phrase is answered, where the rhythm tightens and when the musicians leave space. It is music that offers an immediate melodic foothold while leaving plenty of detail to discover on a closer listen. The program includes “El Nuevo Barretto”, “Mercy, Mercy Baby”, “Acid”.
