Query: the once great...

Gato is still an excellent sax player, but the thrill is definitely gone, he's no longer anywhere near the cutting edge he existed on in the 60s and 70s. With the exception of The Third World Revisited, you can tell how good a Barbieri album is by the used price. Mass produced smooth stuff ends up in the delete bins fastest. His later stuff is good for a day or two, but doesn't stand up to repeated listening. Some of the latest stuff can't stand up to one hearing. The passion is missing.
