[EN] Hilton Ruiz (May 29, 1952 – June 6, 2006) was an American jazz pianist in the Afro-Cuban jazz mold, but was also a talented bebop player. He was of Puerto Rican descent. Born in New York City, Ruiz began playing piano at the age of five after being inspired by Duke Ellington. At the age of eight he performed Mozart at Carnegie Hall. In high school Ruiz studied jazz piano with Mary Lou Williams. In 1973 he was a sideman for Roland Kirk, then later for Clark Terry. He also worked with Betty Carter, Tito Puente, and Mongo Santamaría. He co-wrote a music instruction book, Jazz and How to Play It. He appeared on the soundtrack to Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors. On May 19, 2006, Ruiz was found unconscious on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, where he had gone to shoot a video to promote a recently recorded project with M27 Records benefiting the victims of Hurricane Katrina entitled "Goin' Back to New Orleans". The police filed a report that he had injured himself in an accidental fall. Ruiz was hospitalized in a coma and died without regaining consciousness a week after his 54th birthday. Ruiz was a resident of Teaneck, New Jersey. He was buried at Saint Raymond's Cemetery in New York City.

[FR] [Hilton Ruiz (29 mai 1952 – 6 juin 2006) était un pianiste de jazz américain s'inscrivant dans la mouvance du jazz afro-cubain, mais il était également un talentueux joueur de bebop. D'origine portoricaine, né à New York City, Ruiz commença à jouer du piano à l'âge de cinq ans, inspiré par Duke Ellington. À huit ans, il se produisit en interprétant Mozart à Carnegie Hall. Au lycée, Ruiz étudia le piano jazz avec Mary Lou Williams. En 1973, il fut musicien d'accompagnement pour Roland Kirk, puis plus tard pour Clark Terry. Il collabora également avec Betty Carter, Tito Puente et Mongo Santamaría. Il co-écrivit un livre d'instruction musicale, "Jazz and How to Play It". On le retrouve sur la bande originale du film Crimes et délits de Woody Allen. Le 19 mai 2006, Ruiz fut retrouvé inconscient sur Bourbon Street à La Nouvelle-Orléans, où il était venu tourner une vidéo pour promouvoir un projet récemment enregistré avec M27 Records au profit des victimes de l'ouragan Katrina, intitulé "Goin' Back to New Orleans". La police rédigea un rapport indiquant qu'il s'était blessé dans une chute accidentelle. Ruiz fut hospitalisé dans le coma et décéda sans reprendre connaissance une semaine après son 54e anniversaire. Résident de Teaneck, dans le New Jersey, il fut inhumé au cimetière Saint Raymond à New York City.
