The music world lost another great musician: jazz drummer/percussionist and Ft. Apache founding member Steve Berrios passed away, July 25, 2013. The born and bred New Yorker (February 24, 1945) was a founding member of the groundbreaking Ft. Apache Band alongside brothers Jerry and Andy Gonzalez and pianist Larry Willis and often performed in the Afro-Cuban jazz medium.
Berrios was highly regarded amongst the community of musicians and also played and recorded with Randy Weston, Art Blakey, Kenny Kirkland, Michael Brecker, Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers, Joe Panama, Mongo Santamaría and others.
