Legends of Jazz with Ramsey Lewis - NEA Jazz Masters (with Tony Bennett, Chick Corea and Ray Barretto. Season One, 2006 ep. 13)
he final episode in the series, the NEA Jazz Masters 2006, featuring Tony Bennett, Chick Corea, and Ray Barretto, was taped before a live audience on January 12, coinciding with the International Association for Jazz Education (IAJE) conference in New York City.
Tony Bennett, who joins the late Ray Barretto and Chick Corea in the episode entitled, NEA Jazz Masters 2006, said,
“I hope that the show will help everybody realize that this is American music. It was created here. It belongs here.
I travel all over the world and every country shows me what they do. This is what we’ve created. The British show us theater, the Italians show us music and art, the French painting and cooking and the German’s have all this science. So when all is said and done, 50 years from now, we’ll be bowing to Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker.” This episode is in memory of Ray Barretto (1929-2006).
