5.0 out of 5 stars Eddie Palmieri: poderoso senor del piano, November 22, 2001

Eddie Palmieri is Eddie palmieri is Eddie Palmieri. The Lord. The Piano Man. The orchesta riffs, the sweaty and hell-fast bongo player (his name's Choki). The singer. Pardon me: the sirene-wailing singer. Lalo Rodriguez "la trepa en la China" (an expression for salsa climaxes). This CD is a classic. Well, it won a Grammy!

Eddie Palmieri, a pioneer of Latin Jazz is at his best on this work. This is one of his original works and I still love it. His Afro-Cuban roots are more apparent than ever on this work. A must have for any Latin Jazz fan, or anyone who just wants to groove.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eddie's new begining, November 20, 2000

This is Eddie's first post "La Perfecta Orchestra" days where Eddie uses an unusually large and variable brass section; trumpets,t-bones, saxs, tubas, flutes and french horns. That and his great rhythm section provides excellent tumbaos and marvelous solos. The 16 year old Lalo Rodriguez really show the salsa world he was here to stay. Eddie's "Nada de ti" has to be one of the greatest salsa songs ever recorded. Everybody gets down on this one. This is without question one of Eddie's five best recordings.
