Biography

Eddie Palmieri is considered one of the most creative, unique artists in musical history. It is impossible to summarize in a few short words Eddie's trajectory and contributions as a pianist, composer, arranger, orchestra director, and above all, as a leader in producing albums with successful artists and bands.

A self-professed lover of jazz and salsa (a genre in which he was a pioneer), Eddie… Read more in Amazon's Eddie Palmieri Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Years ago, the Nuyorican pianist/bandleader Eddie Palmieri christened himself "the Sun of Latin Music," and with the recent deaths of Mongo Santamaria and Tito Puente, his claim to that title today is unchallenged. This CD, which translates as "Hot Rhythm," harkens back to the two-trombone frontline he pioneered in the 1960s with his legendary La Perfecta ensemble. Trombonists Conrad Herwig and Renaldo Jorge make up the frontline with ex-Art Blakey Jazz Messenger trumpeter Brian Lynch. Percussionist José "Cochi" Claussell, drummer Robert Ameen, and bassist Joe Santiago provide the punch behind these tunes in the classic, salsa-friendly Afro-Cuban tempo and mode. Palmieri's percussive pianisms swing with a groove that propels both Latin and jazz rhythms. On "Gigue (Bach Goes Batá)," Palmieri fuses J.S. Bach with Afro-derived batádrumming, while "Grandpa Semi-Tone Blues" is a catchy Antillean blues number. Palmieri's Thelonious Monk-like piano style is extremely percussive, and in his hands the instrument becomes 88 well-tuned hand drums. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Latin Jazz legend still going strong, June 13, 2003
This review is from: Ritmo Caliente (Audio CD)
This disc starts off with a bang, with swift salsa tunes like "La Voz Del Caribe" and "Grandpa Semi-Tone Blues" showing that Palmieri's still got the fire in the belly, and a band that can match his passion. He moves steadily into a jazzier, smoother mode, but it's all top-flight material. Even after all these decades into his career, Palmieri still seems like a force of nature: nothing can slow him down or make a dent in his soulfulness and love of the music. If you're a fan of modern Latin Jazz or salsa, then this is an album you'll appreciate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Latin Jazz, October 9, 2003
By 
Jadwiga (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ritmo Caliente (Audio CD)
I recently attended the Monterey Jazz festival and was priviledged to hear Eddie Palmieri (who wasn't even scheduled). This album is a treat for both jazz and salsa fans. Eddie shows his versatility, particularly in the amazing Gigue (which marries Bach to Latin jazz!). Also notable are Ms. Joseph's flute solos in several numbers. No, these aren't all dance numbers, but they're all great jazz!

5.0 out of 5 stars El Maestro again!, January 19, 2004
This review is from: Ritmo Caliente (Audio CD)
Again Mr. Palmieri "El Maestro" bring to us the best piece of his artwork, a delightful cocktail of Afro-cuban and Latin jazz.
