Hilton Ruiz was an influence on me whan I started playing sax. His funky soul-jazz style and ability to draw people into his groove was amazing.

May God bless him and his family through this tragedy.

Some said he was punched in the face, he's been in the East Jefferson General Hospital since May 19.

Man que perdida, This morning I was editing some videos, and I ran into a performance of Hilton on BET, had Richie Flores on Congas, John Benitez on Bass and some other cats.
Hermanos tremenda rumba que se ha formado en el cielo.

Amor, Paz Y Latin Jazz con Hilton en el piano, Mongo en las tumbadoras, Tito en los timbales, 'chacho que rumba.

Yes I made my call, this is just an example of how slow they react in that town, again. Estoy que hecho humo por la nariz.

Pathetic. What a disgrace. that town can rot as far as I'm concerned. I teach high school here in Houston, and we got a bunch of students from New Orleans. Poor kids, so undereducated, you can't believe that they came from schools in America. It's a disgrace.
