We have lost a musical giant, and one of our true heroes. A supremely sad day.
Thank you, Mr. Barry.

As HMSS covered at the time… I had the great pleasure of meeting Barry at an event at Carnegie Hall. It was a moment I’ll never forget — asking him about his collaborations and hearing his music performed live.
We have his great body of work to salve our loss.
