"Barry was my first close friend in New York. I was 18, fresh on the scene and he sort of took me under his wing and helped me along...Barry could take music apart and analyze it very well, and he experienced it on on a very deep level, spiritually and emotionally, with tremendous excitement - a very basic instinct that I was attracted to...He had a tremendous intensity and conviction when he was playing and he could just make a rhythm section levitate, he would just carry you along...it was inspiring to be around him when his creative juices were flowing" - MICHAEL BRECKER
