Sein Kosenamen hat sein Schaffen bestens charakterisiert: El Gato, der Kater, liess sein heiseres Liebeswerben immer mit grosser Intensität erklingen, und verband dabei Free Jazz und südamerikanische Klänge.

Gato Barbieri, Latin Jazz Trailblazer, Dies at 83

Last year, Mr. Barbieri received a Latin Grammy lifetime achievement award for a career that covered «virtually the entire jazz landscape.» The citation, from the Latin Recording Academy, credited him with creating «a rebellious but highly accessible musical style, combining contemporary jazz with Latin American genres and incorporating elements of instrumental pop.»

The Argentine-born musician recorded some 35 albums between 1967 and 1982, when he stopped consistently making new records. He toured regularly and went on to record four more albums, including 1997’s smooth jazz «Que Pasa,» which reached No. 2 on Billboard’s contemporary jazz charts.

Barbieri began leading his own bands in the late ’50s and performed in the band led by fellow Argentinean Lalo Schifrin during that decade as well. In the ’60s he worked in Europe with trumpeter Don Cherry while furthering his own career as a leader. He contributed as a sideman during his early years to recordings by Cherry (including two albums for Blue Note, Complete Communion and Symphony for Improvisers), Dollar Brand (Abdullah Ibrahim), Gary Burton, Charlie Haden, Carla Bley and others.
